AVI Comp audio question...

[alternate2007]

Hello all,

I just recoded an AVI clip with AVI ReComp v1.3.0 (because 1.4.0 kept giving me errors and would not allow me to input data at all), and it worked easily and perfectly (thanks to some help from online guides and tips, and a wonderfully clear and simple walkthrough within the program). I resized and changed the screen format to 16:9, and the resolution is perfectly acceptable to me, but the audio volume is a bit overdriven--to the point of distortion--even when turned down.

I was not sure (when recoding) if I need to also recode the audio or if I could /should leave it "as is", so I chose to recode it as well. (For fear that it would recode the video and come out with NO audio.)

For audio settings, I had two choices: convert audio stream, or disable audio conversion. The audio format choices were VBR, ABR and CBR. I chose ABR, and I left it at the default 128 bitrate. Can someone tell me where the jacked up volume part came from and how to correct it? Thank you ahead of time!

Here's the processing data text:
