Volume issues in CloneDVD 1.3.9.8

[jukman]

Hi, first of all thanks for this great forum.

I just finished backing up a movie using CloneDVD 1.3.9.8 from Elby. Afterwards I proceeded to mount the image and play the movie. The quality of the video is quite good but the volume is a lot lower than that of the original DVD. Is this normal? If not, can the problem be fixed?

Thanks

Have you tried the DVD in any other players? I had that problem once and it turned out to be the player because the dvd played find on other players. Turns out the player was not a good player for playing backups according to other people at dvdrhelp.

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to burn the movie and see how it comes out on my dvd.

Cheers

I just finished burning the DVD and played it on my regular DVD player. The problem with the sound is still there Does anybody else know what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance

CloneDVD should not be changing the audio stream at all. The audio on the copy should be 100% identical to the audio on the original.

The only difference is that you would normally remove audio streams on the copy, where as the original would contain all of them.

Are you using the same audio on both? Or say playing the DTS stream on the original and the AC3 on the copy?

I am not sure about that. How do I determine the stream that I am using? Normally I encode both. After transcoding-burning I pop the DVD into my standalone DVD player and the sound comes out a lot lower than that of the original DVD. (ie, I have to set the volume a lot higher on the TV set).

I must be doing something wrong: I just finished transcoding the movie with Instantcopy 7 and the DVD presents the same issue.

Thanks again.

jukman,

If you're listening it through the TV sound then that's the DD2.0 sound. Did you by chance remove that audio?
If you go through a sound system...I sincerely doubt there will be a sound volume difference if playing DD5.1 or DTS.
Make sure that you leave the DD2.0 checked when you copy the movie if you want to hear it through the audio connection of a TV. (The RCA plugs White and Red)

Thanks for your help.

I leave all the different English audio streams and remove all the other languages on my DVD's. Is that what you are referring too?

Btw I used a different computer to transcode the movie and I still get a lower volume on my backups. Does anyone else have any ideas on what the problem might be?

Thanks
