The DVD can be made to play without noise on a presumably normal system. Disable Surround sound settings, both actual and imitated. These clues plus experience lead to the probable answer. Third clue - unknown recording method, most likely a DVD/VCR combo unit. Second clue - Surround system makes the problem worse. This would be limited to at best stereo or quite likely mono sound. First clue - Old tape, recorded on home equipment. It is possible there is some oddball component which cannot be easily duplicated, but unlikely. Examine, determine, and quantify the differences between the working setup and the non-working setup. There exists a DVD/player/amp setting combination which either removes or ignores the noise. It really blows me away that there is an obvious answer here everyone is ignoring. Is there a way to "fix" this, by modifying the files to remove the noise? Probably, but for a newbie, this may be too complex. It was really bad at my in-law's with their surround sound system.ĭid my friend record these DVDs at some setting unique to his system, hence no background noise there? Suggestions? Thinking there may be something amiss with my DVD player I proceeded to play the DVDs on other players, including my computer and my in-law's system and the "compressor" noise was present. I told my friend about this upon which we put the same DVDs in his player and there was NO "compressor" noise. This "compressor" sound is almost constant throughout-it'll stop here and there for about 15 seconds before starting again. The problem is a very annoying background noise that sounds like an air compressor. In watching the DVDs the quality is really good in terms of the picture and the "normal" sound. Beyond that I am not familiar with his methodology. The VCR to DVD conversion was made at his TV, meaning he did not use a computer. Some years ago he had the actual film converted to VCR tapes from which he made me the DVDs. Recently I received two DVDs from a friend containing footage of hockey games he shot 30 years ago. But I have a problem I am hoping some of you can assist me with. I am a true newbie-having read several of the posts at this site I really most of this discussion is far and away over my head.
