If the 'logo' is on the output from DVD Author Pro, I guess you have to pony up, but I get everything I need from Freeware. An alternative is that you could import the output from 'DivX2DVD' to 'DVD Shrink' and let it burn your dvd. It uses 'DVD Decrypter' to do the actual burning part. As to the low audio, you might be asking a lot from an AVI, but I have used 'VirtualDub' to boost the audio of TV episodes that were in AVI format, but note that I'm no audio/video geek, so my needs are pretty basic. Run VDub File> Open video file (name_of.avi) Video> Direct Stream Copy Audio> Full Processing Mode Audio> Volume...check box and adjust slider to 300% Audio> Compression > Lame MP3 48000,128,cbr,16kb/s Note the Lame codec is downloaded separately. Audio> Conversion...check boxes marked as 16 bit and high quality File> Save as AVI...give it a new name. DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter, VirtualDub, and the Lame codec all freeware. Okay so I have downloaded the lame codec but its not showing up under audio. compression in virtual dub. im not sure if i have installed it properly how can i check? also is it better to fix the sync issue first before fixing the volume? thanks
This assumes that the original AVI has low volume, but is in sync. Load the original AVI in VDub and try the volume control steps and save as a new AVI.. Check the new AVI for sync and sound quality. If everything is ok convert to dvd as before. Installation guide. http://users.tpg.com.au/mtam/install_lame.htm An search will show it in a hidden folder. C:\WINDOWS\system32\LameACM.acm Or 'GSpot' 'System' > 'List Codec Types' Starting VDub and Audio > Full Processing Mode > Audio > Compression should show 'Lame MP3'. BTW check the 'File Information' under 'File'. In the 'Audio' information look at the sampling rate, often it is '44100', use the same rate with the lame Mp3 compression. My earlier post reflected some settings that some of my files have.
