Even More Audio Confusion

[hdwaynes]

I posted here last week. Unfortunately the suggestion I got didn't work.

I am using the Nero software to author and burn after capturing with WinTV 2000.

My first effort, a month or so ago, went very well. However I am not having much luck in the here and now.

The problem is that I am now getting almost no audio. If I crank the TV I can barely hear it. I didn't have this problem with my first effort.

The suggestion on the previous post was to use TMGenc to encode. I tried that but the result was the same. Virtually no audio even though my source audio is plenty loud. Even upping the record volume to 167% didn't help.

If anyone is familiar with the Nero software perhaps you can point me to a setting that I am missing or something. I'm near the end of my rope.

Thanks in advance as always.

Dwayne,

I've just moved your thread into the Audio Forum.

I'm afraid I can't suggest anything for your problem - sorry.

What is this audio? PCM? Dolby digital? Mp2? something else? stereo or multichannel?

If it's stereo you can try opening it in a audio editor (Goldwave for example, but you could do it with besweet as well) and normalize to 100% (it may be just that).

If it's dolby 5.1 it gets trickier. You need an advanced audio editor and/or a dolby multichannel encoder, and you have to first normalize to 100% and if need be compress the dynamic range and re-encode.

WinTV 2000? A Hauppage card? PVR1/2/350? Captured to mpg? If so, just author your mpg with some "real" authoring app (I use TMPGEnc DVD Author or DVD-Lab for this, so I don't have to demux...)

I am capturing to AVI with WinTV. The sound is fine the AVI file. Here's what's different:

The video I'm having issues with was captured from an 8mm camera with a single mono audio output. In order to fill both audio channels I split the single RCA output into two, and then combined in to one at the sound card with a y cable and a stereo adapter.

Perhaps this is the cause of my problem -- but again the sound on the card is fine.

Thanks again for all the help.
