Hey all,
I'm authoring a DVD for my friend's short film (45 mins.) and his sound designer gave me a stereo file (two AIFFs) and a surround mix (6 AIFFs). I synced them up in FCP with the final video and exported the audio to Compressor and used presets to make ac3 files. The 5.1 mix is apparently playing back somewhat lower in volume than the stereo mix, even lower than what the filmmakers heard when they mixed the final sound (I can't monitor 5.1 on my computer so I could not tell).
Is this a common issue with 5.1 mixes in DVDSP? Or perhaps my Compressor settings are to blame?
Presets used:
Stereo - Dolby 2.0 192kbps (in DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes)
Surround - Dolby Professional 5.1 448 kbps (in Formats>Audio)
OSX 10.5.8, FCS 3
TIA,
JVK
