I made a movie of me and a bunch of friends on our motorcycles from last
year. Whenever I export it to a DV-AVI the audio sounds horrible it breaks
up really bad but it sounds like it mught just be the audio that is linked
to the video the sound track audio seems ok. Everything sounded good while I
was working with it before I exported? Any thought?

1.) Can you describe the "breaks up really bad" in
more detail? i.e. "Distorts when loud sounds, such
as engine revvs, occur..."

2.) What cam was used?

3.) Do you know if your cam has options for 12-bit
and/or 16-bit audio capture? If it's 12-bit only, you
may never get the audio quality you'd like... it seems
that mixing 12-bit and 16-bit audio in a project *can*
cause all kinds of issues, with the 12-bit audio being
"up-sampled," and the end results sounding glitchy.

It is only a problem with the audio from the camera. The camera is set to
16 bit audio. It sounds alot like clipping as if the audio gain was set way
to high but I never changed it from when I imported it. I went back and
watched the unencoded movie in premiere and it sounds good but as soon as I
encode it goes bad. Is there a way to turn the gain down on a whole track?

1) It sounds like if you turn a crappy radio all the way up until the music
gets "Fuzzy"

2)Sony DCR-TRV460

3) The Camera is set to 16 bit audio.

I have the same problem. Audio is fine when editing, but gets static and harsh like I had used a horrible mic after I export it. But I can export JUST the audio and it sounds perfect. It has done this with all different encoding settings.
