i like adobe audition. works really well for situations like this. i'm sure there's another prog you can use, but that's my personal fav.

found this on another site

link

All .vob files have the video and audio multiplexed together, so they need to be separated out as a first step. You can do this with VOBEdit, which handles .mp2 and ac3 audio.

Once you have the audio file, if it's an .mp2 you can open it with Audacity and raise the volume (= increase the amplitude). If it's .ac3 then you will need a free trial of some commercial software like Womble MPEG Video Wizard to do this step.

Either way, you then need to remultiplex the changed audio back with the video file. You can use ImagoMPEG-Muxer to do this.

Then you should have your .vob file back with increased volume...

vob edit....nice.....thanx that is exactly what i was looking for...a program that runs direct from the exe....i have cool edit to do the audio...but.....

supposedly cool edit supports ac3...but im not getting anything but interference out of the ac3 file when i open it in cool edit...when checked with vlc player the file plays fine....funny

any help from here?
thanx so far
JR

::::edit....hahahaha....cool edit is now adobe audition

If the AC3 stream has the correct dialnorm value, there should be no need to alter volume. The decoder in your DVD player or AV recevier will read the dialnorm and normalize the sound to Dolby's reference level.

You can use VOBDNorm to directly alter the dialnorm value of AC3 tracks within VOBs - without the need to demux or re-encode. For example, if the original stream has a dialnorm of 27, changing it to 31 will give you a 4dB increase on playback.

hmmmm....you do know who you are talking to right?

anyways i gave it a pop....not only do i know what a cmd prompt is...i actually know how to open one...but thats about as far as my knowledge gets...

anyway i found this http://forum.videohelp.com/topic322240.html and the tail end is from the programmer for the app....but shn might do better explaining it to me cause i think its in french

can you give me the actual commands?

quote:
Code: "path-to-exe\vobdnorm.exe" "input.vob" "output.vob" 31

i take that to mean at the prompt type

"G:\DL Shit\vobdnorm\vobdnorm.exe" "VTS_01_1.VOB" "VTS_01_1fix.VOB" 31

but the input file is not found...i put it in the same folder as the vobdnorm.exe...
also supposedly i can add the other file i want to raise it to and it will seek its own volumes...any clue on how to do that?

Posted by Jay Are on 11-10-2007 08:25 AM:

typically with a command prompt situation, you would have to put the path again when telling it which .vob is the source.

"G:\DL Shit\vobdnorm\vobdnorm.exe" "g:\dl shit\vobdorm\VTS_01_1.VOB" "g:\dl shit\vobdorm\VTS_01_1fix.VOB" 31

now, i've never used this software before, but i do know that DOS takes issue with filenames and directories that are longer than 8 characters or have a space in them. perhaps that is the issue? also the "quotes". i've never known them to be accepted by command-line utilities, but again, i've never used this particular software.

thanx jr

i figured that was the case after my last post and i tried exactly that command...same results...input file not found

Posted by Mother on 11-10-2007 10:53 PM:

Here's a guide I wrote on another forum:

1. Make 2 new folders on your hard drive (named "original" and "fixed"). Copy all the files off your original disc into the first folder.

2. Download the program VOBDNorm from here: ftp://ftp.coises.com/vobdnorm-1.0.zip, and extract the exe file into your command path (e.g. c:\windows\system32).

3. Open a command window, and navigate to where your original and fixed folders are located.

4. Type the following command:
VOBDorm original\VTS_01_1.VOB fixed\VTS_01_1.VOB 31

5. Repeat step 4 for VTS_01_2.VOB up to VTS_01_5.VOB.

6. Copy the IFO and BUP files from original into fixed.

7. Now burn the contents of the fixed folder as a DVD-video with Nero, etc...

still donging this up....so far im at step 3

....im noticing without quotes..navigating becomes a command

the folders are here
G:\DL Shit\vobdnorm\original and G:\DL Shit\vobdnorm\fixed

there is an exe file in the vobdnorm folder as well as the one i extracted into the system 32 folder

no combination of attempts worked....ive tried one line navigation and commands...then ive tried opening the exe then navigating to the vob and fixing...and some other retard shit....but i notice that you arent opening the exe file in your guide...does that make any difference?

im fooked

im gonna go lick some windows before i try this one again

Posted by Jay Are on 11-11-2007 12:27 PM:

i think i get where she's going with this.

once you have the cmp prompt open, you can run the vobdnorm software from within any directory, since you copied it to you system folder earlier.

sounds like any other DOS software, but step 3 looks like the command doesn't work unless you are actually in the orig folder that has your vobs.

that's the only thing i can think of from looking at the step-by-step that would prevent the software from finding the files. but again, my knowledge of said software is limited.

sorry i can't be of more help.

By navigate, I mean at the command prompt, type:

code:
G:

to change to the G drive, then type

code:CD DL Shit
CD {directory where you put your original and fixed folders}

to change the working directory.

ingenious

ok im moving up the steps...im at 4 now

VOBDorm original\VTS_01_1.VOB fixed\VTS_01_1.VOB 31

lol - i loved what about bob!

on the issue, if you have already extracted to your sys32 folder, this should run. if not, put it in there and get to work on step 5 already!

im about to get this shite and try it myself...

4 is the last step needed

but the cmd mother gave me doesnt work in the context typed....

"vodb norm is not recognized as a cmd batch file and some other fuck you response"

and thanx to both of you for your time and patience with the drooler

Posted by Mother on 11-12-2007 12:18 AM:

If you put the exe into your windows/system32 folder, the only thing I can think of is that you're spelling it vodbnorm instead of vobdnorm...

Don't you need quotes around the commands/paths that have spaces?

Posted by Jay Are on 11-12-2007 07:59 PM:

ok, so i did find the forum that had the instructions that mother gave earlier (not sure, but that thread had the UN Moth3r; is that u?) and it does give the same instructions.

linky

in that case, the person instructed says it worked like a charm.
