Hello. I don't know if this the right forum for this question.

My first question is, when I load my source VOB file into ProCoder 2 I have th option to choose my Audio decoder. My choices are between AC3Filter, MainCOncept and Cyblerlink audio decoders. When I use my AC3Filter, I configure it to be at "loud" settings. When the conversion of the VOB finishes, the audio is too low. I don't know how to fix this. I use 64kbps 44khz Stereo WMA.

My second question is more of an "opinion" type question. I wanted to know if these settings were good for DVD conversion to fit onto a CD.
Video: WMV9, 352x240, 24fps Prog, 400kbps 1-pass CBR
Audio: WMA9.1, 64kbps, 44khz, Stereo 1-pass CBR
The only reason I use 1-pass is because I currently have a slow computer not really meant for DVD conversion. It's a 930MHz Intel Pentium III which takes a 2:30 movie 9 hours to convert. My goal is to be able to fit my DVD movies onto CDs since I don't have a DVD burner and still keep good quality and compatability. Are these settings the best to use?

Thanks.

There is no "best" in this case because there are so many variables, as well as quality being a matter of perception to an individual, and no one can know what looks best to you. Concentrate on settings that fit your needs at a quality with which you will be satisfied.

You may want to select the two-channel audio chanel instead of the 5.1 in case your software isn't able to transcode the surround properly into stereo.
