i've been using DVD-A 4.0 / 4.5 and been having a problem with a brief audio "tick" between files in a playlist that is quite audible... the tick varies in volume from barely audible to quite loud.
0) not that it should matter, but just in case, the video is m2v format.
1) i use PCM audio (16bit, 48kHz, Stereo) (between 30-50 tracks): some of the pieces have a strong music focus and I need to preserve audio quality.
2) every WAV file used is rendered in Vegas with fades in/out (there is no audio "tick" when playing back from the Vegas timeline)
3) if i burn another DVD direct from DVD-A, the tick(s) will be in the same location, same volume.
4) if i replace both files (before / after) with clips of a different length, the tick is gone... but a different (louder or quieter) one may appear there.. or maybe not.
and this is the one that discourages me...
5) if i render all the files as one massive WAV from the Vegas timeline and use that instead, there is no tick.
"5" was an experiment to see if the problem was in the audio files themselves. The DVD needs to play individual files as well as provide a "play all" button. I don't have the time to create a "special" dvd.
I've done a search for this problem on a variety of forums and found nothing. This gives me hope I guess that maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Anyone know what's going on, what I'm doing wrong, or a definitive way to avoid the problem?
