AC3 Question

Dan Sherman wrote on 6/1/2009, 11:07 AM
When rendering for DVD-A I select MPEG-2, then DVD NTSC video stream to render video tracks, right?
That's the way I've doing it, but I just rendered audio to AC-3 Pro and for some reason it isn't hooking up with the video files rendered to DVD NTSC video stream.
Should I be using DVD NTSC (not video stream)?
Would the AC-3 file bump the existing audio file?
Don't think I'm getting AC-3 here as in preview on DVD-A the audio is much lower than the audio on the title page.
Have I overlooked something when downloading VP9?

You can select the AUDIO media in DVDA for each video track. It may not always pick up the AC-3 Track.

You mean DVD-A may not always recognize the AC-3 file?

It won't always auto link it to the video file on the track.

So I drag the audio file onto the DVD-A timeline after rendering it in Vegas?

Did you set your DVDA Project properties for AC-3 Audio?
Dan Sherman wrote on 6/1/2009, 11:29 AM
Yes, AC-3 is selected in DVD-A Project Properties.
Ater selecting Dolby Digital AC-3, I select Best AC-3 Render Settings?

In the MEDIA PROPERTIES window, you can select the TRACK MEDIA.

I have never seen such a setting in DVDA. Are you still talking about Vegas render settings?

Dave is right.
If your ac-3 is not named identically to your video, or they are not in the same folder, or for whatever reason you can add it manually.

It finally took as it usually always does.
A fluke I guess.
