It took awhile for me to realize that the video production house had mistakenly assumed my client's product was going to analog format and for broadcast. The final destination is DVD-Video and the correct level is dictated by the file format (48000, 24bit) so 0.0dbfs is max peak. The levels of my master should not have been adjusted when it was merged/transfered to the DVD-Video. It's an interesting learning experience. Assuming I understand the issues, I'll prevent this misunderstanding on future jobs. ron > Tommi > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
