Hi Apologies - I said bitrate when I meant Sample rate - however the images also shows this is the same for both types of video ie 48kHz which is OK. We still need to see what the video format is inside the AVI fles to eliminate any problems

RE: Editing Projects in Magix Movie Edit Pro MX

Not sure I can give a definitive answer on this, but one or two things occur to me. First, is it possible that the original is actually a dual-layer DVD, hence program up to 9.4Gb? A number of the messages you mention certainly seem to suggest

HI Whalebat AFAIK there is no reference to these in the Help or manual. These options appear once you have carried a burn to DVD, first you need to know the structure of a DVD which has the following components: VTS_01_1.VOB -

RE: poor sound quality of burned DVD

Hi Do you have any codec packs, eg KLite,installed? The fact that mpg files sound is OK is strange because the same codec should be used for creating the intermediate files before they are changed in to VOB's (all VOB files are MPEG streams,

RE: poor sound quality of burned DVD

Thank you, Scenestealer. I always perform a Select All >> Normalize when I compile projects. The problem is that the VOB encoder is for some reason dissatisfied with the normalized volume. The other encoders (WMV, MXV, MPG, MP4) handle it

RE: poor sound quality of burned DVD

The problem is in the encoding. If I play the VOB file directly from the hard drive (not the DVD) in, for example, Windows Media Player, I encounter the same problem. I noticed that the sections with the fewest problems were encoded from MP3s,

RE: poor sound quality of burned DVD

Hi, First, establish whether the issue is definitely in the burning or the encoding. To do this, see if it plays from the DVD folder created by MEP directly after the encoding. This is located wherever you've specified in Program Setings >

Why is there a difference in video length between imported and no imported.

I am using Movie Edit Pro 2013 v12.01.4 with Windows XP. I have imported a video with 15 different clips directly from the disc taken from the Samsung DVD camcorder. If I play clip 6 outside Magix using a video player software it runs for 3
