Making a Movie and importing a MP3 or WAV file the sound degrades horribly upon Production

Hello,
My first post here. I'm creating a music vid of jpegs and a WAV or MP3 file, I've tried to Produce it with both music file types as a AVI and MPEG4 file and the results of the sound quality are atrocious! The song in both formats sounds great just listening to it but why is CyberLink Producer 7 hacking it into an unlistenable movie track? Any suggestions are very appreciated!

Thanks,
Wyatt

Hi Wyatt

Welcome to the forum

I not sure why these music files aren't being rendered (produced) properly.

Do you have the latest update for PD7?

There are somethings you can do like:

a) Ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed - later editions of PD require this to be installed

b) Ensure you video card drivers are up to date - go to the manufacturers website.

c) Ensure your music files and photos are in the same folder on your C drive

d) Try producing using the MPEG2 profile

All the best

Hi Wyatt

I also don't know the answer but I've just tried producing an AVI file from a 4MB MP3 music file (no video) and it produced an incredible 900MB file! So if it does that for you I would avoid AVI. I must say though it still played OK on my system. As suggested above try Mpeg2.
You could try copying the files to a memory stick and trying them on other computers (if you haven't already tried that). If they sound as bad then it's not your PC hardware (sound card) that's at fault. If they play OK on other PCs then it's not your video software (PD7 I mean) that's at fault.
I'm no expert so that's the best I can suggest.
