OK. I have a 2 part question for anyone nice enough to answer. I have a Panasonic PV-GS15 MiniDV Camcorder, firewire etc. I have used various capture software to capture the video from the camcorder to my hard drive, including Roxio 7, Ulead DVD Movie Factory etc. I convert the transfered file using TMPGEnc 2.524.63.181. I have two problems: The first problem is that when I try to use any DVD authoring software such as Roxio or Ulead, and burn the finished project to DVD, the sound on the DVD is WAY too loud, to the point of being distorted, regardless of using the volume features of said DVD authoring software...in other words, even though I turn down the volume and save the project prior to burning the DVD, the volume reverts back to it's original level. I am using MP3's for background music in the menus, and they are compliant with the volume settings I choose. Even avi or mpeg files that I select to include on the DVD and have NOT been captured using my MiniDV are compliant with the volume settings I choose. It seems to me that the volume cannot be adjusted for files captured from a MiniDV camcorder...is that right??
My second question is about brightness. I am wondering if there is any way of adjusting brightness and contrast of video transfered from my camcorder to my hard drive, and if so, should I do it before I encode of after, because it seems to me that after you encode the file, software like VirtualDub doesn't open those files.
Thanks in advance for any help I recieve, and I hope I am not asking a repeat question(s) which I have a feeling I am. I searched the forum but came up with nothing regarding my problem.
