Capture from DV to make DVD - VOLUME INCREASE DURING ENCODIN

[ardklg]

I'm not sure if the Capture forum is the right place for this or not...

I'm using my Sony Digital8 cancorder's pass-through functionality to convert some VHS video to DV, then to DVD.

The video captures fine. When I play back the captured video in Video Studio 6 it sounds fine. But for some reason, when it goes through the process of "Create DVD", and I put the DVD in a DVD player, the audio volume has increased 2-3 times, causing distortion and clipping.

I've tried messing with the recording line-in volume (even taking it all the way to zero) - it makes no difference.

This happens if I create the DVD with Video Studio 6, Ulead DVD Movie Maker 2, and Cyberlink PowerDirector Pro 2.5.

Anybody have any ideas here? I'm stumped.

One more note...

I also have a Matrox video capture card in this particular machine, to capture TV shows. When I capture from the Matrox card (in MPEG2 format), then bring those files into Video Studio 6 for editing and creating a DVD, the resulting DVDs sound fine - no excessive volume problems at all.
