Considering the fact that prolonged exposure to 90 dB audio can result in hearing loss, most people do not play their audio at 105dB.
The loudest sound in a Dolby soundtrack can be 105dB. Rather than just telling you which settings to use, I'm first going to explain what these functions are designed to do because there are a lot of misconceptions about them.Ĭompression alters your dynamic range (the difference between the loudest and quietest sounds in a soundtrack) by compressing the level of sounds to fit within a certain range. That's because the Dolby Digital 2.0 audio preset in Compressor has several functions to improve unsuitable audio, but if you have already mixed your audio they might do more harm than good in some cases. Why does my DVD audio level differ from the level in FCP?Have you noticed a discrepancy between the audio in your Final Cut Pro timeline and the audio of the finished DVD when using Compressor's DVD presets? I would definitely recommend keeping an eye on ProjectMedia.acx though because I just checked it again and more corruption has crept in. I relaunched Encore, everything worked properly and I was able to create the disc and breathe a sigh of relief. For some reason the button in preferences doesn't remove everything so I'd recommend removing all files from the media cache directories at ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common or by using Housekeeper. To fix this, close Encore, open up the file in TextEdit and delete everything beyond the first tag. The file should end with the closing XML tag (and there should only be one) but extra data has been added at the end. This is what the end of the file looked like: There is a file in your project directory called ProjectMedia.acx. I eventually traced it to project corruption. I thought it might just be the preview but the problem existed on a test disc that I burned. I cleared the media cache from within the preferences menu no change. I restarted Encore and the problem was still there. I checked the original source files and they were fine.

It went well until about three quarters of the way through the movie one of the character's lines started repeating over and over and over again for about ten minutes. I created the menus and timelines and then used the Preview function to check it. I then used Compressor to create a 5.1 AC3 file and brought both into Encore. I eventually narrowed the problem down to a corrupt Dynamic Link cache which I trashed with CS Repair and got the more respectable prediction of 10 hours (it was a 90 minute feature with 10-bit RGB source files). I initially had some issues encoding the Premiere Pro sequence to H.264 because Adobe Media Encoder told me it would take 42 hours, and after leaving it for a few hours it seemed to be making good on that promise. I'd previously tested the workflow and everything had worked well, but this was my first time using it on a project. This past weekend I used Adobe Encore for the first time to create a Blu-ray for an important screening.
