Hello! I have a "sound" problem which is driving me mad. I use Nero Vision Express 3 to Make a Movie by importing video files from
a specific folder. These files include the audio. When I play one of these files using a stand alone player like Nero Showtime, the volume is normal. I open Nero Vision Express 3, click "Make a Movie", I Browse for Media and add the files to the project. I arrange them in the timeline and play them. The audio is now "lower" by about 25%! I have uninstalled all of Nero and re-installed with no difference. I also now have the same problem when using DVD Shrink. This problem surfaced about 2 months ago. I cannot "amplify" the audio in a DVD using Nero Vision Express 3 unless someone knows something I don't, which is very possible! NeroVision also give me an alert: Hardware Acceleration is deactivated. Some Capture devices may not work properly...etc.
I used the Directx Diagnostic tool and found Hardware Acceleration "was indeed activated." In frustration, I saved all my documents and re-formatted my HD and re-installed everything, including Directx 9.0. The problem persists and I still receive the above NeroVision alert! What else can I do? And, is there a software program which I can use duplicate my DVD's which allows me to "amplify" the audio to near or above normal?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cheers!

Hi!I also now have the same problem when using DVD Shrink.DVD Shrink does absolutely nothing to alter/modify/compress the audio components of a DVD...

Hello. Thanks! I understand that completely. I have narrowed down the problem to Nero Vision Express 3 but can't find the source of the problem there. Should you come up with another thought, "please" let me know! Maybe I should post a list of all the software I use? Thanks!

Yeah you better list all of them,
Try to uninstall all your Video and Audio encoder software, and install again one by one until you know what the last one that make problem. Last time I have crash some hardware driver with encoder in DivX. But in your case maybe different. Funny when comes to software, computer more fragile than hardware player.

I want to thank you all for your comments on my audio problem. I have solved it albeit temporarily! I have located a button on the preview monitor in MAKE MOVIE mode. Click this button and it displays the video properties and a volume slider to increase the volume prior to burning. Can't seem to set it as a default setting though! Thanks and I appreciate all the advice I received.
