I understand from a thread in the VS Forum that VS users encounter the same problem of “unspecified error” with the normalize setting as I encounter in MF 7 Pro, burning several files. I have always assumed that MF was able to adjust (normalize) audio setting of several files when burning a DVD. But to be honest, I gave up already a some time ago the use of “Normalize” because it is no fun to get, repeatedly, the same unspecified error at the end of step 3 when burning several files. Adjustment of each file in the “Edit Room” is the only and clumsy way for me to normalize “by ear”. Yet ABIEL’s advice (his post jun 28 in the VS Forum) is to use the “Normalize” audio setting.
In a post from Black Lab of may 23 2011 (also in the VS Forum) he even suggests that motion menu and background music MUST be checked, ............ I’ve never heard of this.
It would be very helpful to have a Corel explanation on the use of this normalize setting which probably is the same for MF as well as for VS. Perhaps ABIEL could comment on this, preferably with a sort of manual from which we all (MF- and VS users) can learn for once and for all what can be expected from this “Normalize” setting. And of course with an answer to the question under what conditions (certain settings like Black Lab wrote) “Normalize” brings what it should do. It’s my feeling that it is too absurd for words that I have to do all these settings manually in the Edit Room with a doubtful outcome, because I obviously use the “Normalize” setting in the wrong way. Or is this feature in MF perhaps a poor man’s version of an audio editor that will never work, like for instance the audio mixing panel in MSP8?
I really hope that ABIEL can inform us.
