Mix in 85 DbSpl for the DVD mix and make a TV mix out of that version in 79 later? |
I suggest you don't change you calibration between these two mixes. Mix the DVD version with calibration that works for TV (eg. dialnorm -23, which could translate to roughly cal 75dB SPL in a bedroom or 79-81 dB SPL on a stage), and then limit everything to -10dBFS (considering you're in EBU country) for the TV version. That way you only have to really work once, and then do a "mastering" pass with the limiter on.

Depending on the size of your mixing space, 79 could be too high for a TV mix.

Something's probably wrong. It isn't very common for dialogue to overload. Check the calibration sticky at the DUC again. If it really is a loud dialog (eg. several people screaming at once), you could try compressing each dial channel individually, or just destructively compressing clips/regions in those places.
