Seriously considering buying the program, despite some of the encoding concerns above. I don't like the internet validation. That is almost unforgivable. However the interface is very intuitive and it's easy to get the job done. It's nice. However I am having a hard time getting good audio results when using audio files ripped from cds as the audio tracks for slideshows and such. The audio has to be upsampled from 44 to 48 for dvd and it's also 16 bit off the cd. I've tried both dolby digital (which is lossy and also applies some "processing") and pcm (sounds a bit better) options but it still sounds "edgy", somewhere distorted, or crunchy. The audio on my video tracks sounds better than audio ripped from cds. Any tips here on how to get better audio quality, and what settings to use?
I'm making musician dvds so the audio has to be good.
Thanks for any help on this.
