Problems with rendered voice over volume

Im putting together a 25 minute slide show with background music and voice over narration on vv4d. When running on time line real time preview..I have great quality audio with the voice over. after rendering to MPEG2 and AC3 using DVDA and burning the DVD. ..the voice over narration volume is extremely low. I increased the volume on the audio envelope and rerendered..now on the newly created DVD I get fluctuations in the narration volume. IS this a AC3 compression problem?? should I just output the audio to MPEG2 or PCM. Im not tight on space on the DVD anyways. Thanks JOHN

There was a thread a short while back where a similar topic came up. Just from memory I think one of the Sony guys was saying something about Dolby (5-1) drops the volume by a certain percentage. Forget why or how, just seem to recall reading it did. Probably someone else will remember which thread it came up in. I don't.

Billy....this was rendered to stereo not 5.1 surround.

See my post to you in the Vegas Audio Topics forum on this.
