You can boost audio in an audio editor such as Audacity, Peak, Sound 
Studio, Amadeus Pro, WavePad, etc… (Audacity and WavePad are free)


There is a learning curve with audio editors just as with video and 
graphic editors. I strongly suggest you back up the file first and then 
experiment with the audio, simply boosting the level may not give 
satisfactory results. You might need to apply normalization, noise 
reduction, or other 'effects' to get clear sound.


Most audio editors include a few VST plugins, if they don't give the 
effect you need there are a lot of free VST plugins you can find with a 
Google search. They can give your audio editor the ability to enhance 
the sound to your liking.


Apple includes some Plugins either with the OS, GarageBand, Soundtrack 
and/or Final Cut Express (I've had them for so long that I don't 
remember where they came from).

I'll look into it when I have a spare bit of time & report back.

Except in Toast 6, I always select "Video", then on the left panel 
choose "DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS"


This gives you the option of selecting NTSC or PAL, and in Toast 8 or 
later, you also have the option to compress to fit on a standard 
single-layer blank DVD, if your VIDEO_TS folder >4.7GB

Re: Quicksilver issue

Try unplugging all the USB stuff. I eventually figured out that my
wireless keyboard was causing my Mac to randomly wake up from sleep.
It also happened with a Logitech wireless mouse but the latest
Logitech software update seems to have solved that for me.

I've never had any trouble with any brand of hard drive in any of my
Macs. If the onboard controller supports large drives just about
anything up to 500 GB will work, on older G4s there is a 128 GB limit
(can be worked around in several ways, though). 120 GB hard drives
with 8MB cache / 7200 rpm are good and relatively cheap. CCC will make
the cloned system bootable.
