    I have been making custom dvd's for awhile now. I take clips from many video sources to create my dvd's. The problem I am having is that the sound levels are always up and down because the files are from different sources. Is there a way to fix this problem,such as another program etc.? I use TMPGenc DVD Author BTW.

    Any help is welcomed. Please move if wrong forum.

    Setting aside whether the authoring program can recreate the menu structure, you can take the completed DVD structure and demux the audio, then equalize it with an audio processor.
    Once equalized it is muxed back into the video creating a new DVD.

    1 VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v and ac3
    2 PX3- Convert AC3 to WAV
    3 Audacity- Load wav and adjust audio and output New WAV
    4 FFMPEGGui- Convert New WAV to New AC3
    5-MUXMAN- Mux m2v with New AC3 into New VOB (a New VOB folder with all the required files is created)



    vobedit
    http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downlo...obedit_254.html

    Run VobEdit > 'Open', select VTS_01_1.VOB (the first large VOB of the title, the rest will come in at the same time).
    Demux > select 'All Video and Audio'.
    The files will be saved as an .m2v and an ac3.

    px3 ac3 to wav
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PX3_AC3_to_WAV

    Load the ac3 and select an output name eg ac3.wav

    Audacity
    http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/so...y-win-1.2.6.exe

    Drag or load the wav.
    Edit> Select All.
    Effect > Equalization
    Export the new WAV.

    ffmpeggui
    http://download2.videohelp.com/download/ffmpeggui03c.zip

    Load new.wav and save as new.ac3

    muxman
    http://www.mpucoder.com/Muxman/versions.shtml

    Load the video .m2v and the new audio new.ac3
