One LAst Question About Audio Pop

[James SB]

John-When I used Wojo's process of Burning the video as High Quality NTSC/PAL
and then dragging it into the audio file for the final burn into avi I edited
the last clip before I burned into High Quality NTSC/PAL. That was where the
pop is this time. My question-Should I Burn High Quality first, then drag
into audio file for the final avi burn and edit it there. Would that
eliminate the pop? Thanks for all your help

============================
Sorry James but I have no idea...all
I can say is experiment. I suspect you
might have a better overall result if you
could use .wav files.

 

[James SB]

I don't know of a way to convert a video file to an audio file. Is there
software that does that?

 

[Graham Hughes]

do all editing, save as a high quality wmv file to remove the pop.
Import this wmv file into your project and drop it into audio track, so you
only use the audio part.
Mute your old audio and save as avi.
All should be fine.

 

[James SB]

I am pretty sure that I did it that way the first time which elimanted two
pops,but moved a pop to the end of the clip. I will try again and see what
happens. Is it my imagination or does avi make some clips look better and not
others? I also think that when I have burned in WMV and then into dvd that
sometimes that video comes better and then the next time maybe not.

 

[Graham Hughes]

dv.avi is the best video quality.
Each time it is saved it will not change in quality.
It shouldn't make clips change in quality, but maybe if you have some
compresssed clips and then save as dv.avi it may help slighly.
WMV is a lossy format, so saving and saving will lose some quality.
Mpeg is the same.

 

[Graham Hughes]

There are also lots of different settings for wmv, some very highly
compressed adn some not, so it will change depending on what setting is
chosen.

Thanks Graham-So how do I know if they are compressed in order to save them
as dv.avi. I also burned a dv avi of some video/audio that were multple clips
and it popped I assume pretty much in between each clip. Should I take the
entire audio from video files burn as high quality audio and then drag the
enitre file into audio before creating dvd. In other words,If I have an hour
long documentary , should I take all the info that I want to play as audio an
burn as high quality. Can't all software just get along?

 

[Graham Hughes]

All files are compressed apart from raw, dv.avi is about 5.1, mpeg2 is about
20.1, others vary. but some lose quality each time you save, like mpeg2
whereas dv.avi doesn't.
To remove pop, edit all movie, save as wmv, put the wmv into the timeline of
the project in the audio track adn mute all other audio, save as dv.avi,
this should give you good audio and lossless files.
