Bitter, miserable twat.

This method will only work if the Dolby Digital decoder recognises and applies dialogue normalisation. All hardware decoders - DVD players or AV receivers - should do. I think PowerDVD does as well, but I'm not sure about VLC.

It also depends on what the original dialnorm value was set to. Most commercial DVDs are 27dB, but some are already set to 31dB. For these, you cannot increase the volume this way.

yes, vlc does. sounds like the dialnorm was already set to 31db. wouldn't recommend lowering the others to match, but perhaps adobe can help.

i used audition once to raise the volume on an AVI. worked great and i even took out some background noise (it was a grinding sound, but i'm sure it would work with a hiss too) and normalize the audio by itself before rejoining with the original avi.

worth a shot if all else fails...


ps - glad it finally worked - kinda

man if there's one thing i know about CATV, it's that the ppl who own the shows do their own audio; about half actually get it right. daily i would have to explain to old ppl why some channels are louder than others, though i think they were just lonely and confused as to why some channels are louder than others.

Bitter, miserable twat.

You're going to have to re-encode anyway, you may as well work with the uncompressed audio.

Assume it's 2.0 audio as it's recorded off the TV? Should be an easy process:
1. Use PGCDemux to demux the raw audio (AC3) and video (MPEG-2) streams from the DVD.
2. If Audition won't decode AC3, convert to WAV beforehand with Azid, Besweet, whatever.
3. Normalize in Audition, save out new file as WAV.
4. Encode WAV to a new AC3 using Aften.
5. Multiplex new audio with video from step 1 to get your fixed VOBs.

Good luck!

that guide is for making 5 or 6 ch audio...

quote:
it's possible to create 6 channels that you can then encode to surround sound using AC3, DTS or other 5.1 encoders.

im thinking plugins arent for ac3...just how to prep before converting ......am i wrong?

alternatively with the apps i have installed i can strip the ac3 audio....or use vdubmpeg to extract a wave file....but i cant remux with a wav..convert wav to ac3.. or edit an ac3....

mother...do any of those apps run right off the exe?....i hate installing more shit than the unessisary crap i already have....aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh

No, it'll work with 2.0 audio (as mentioned above step 1).

Not wrong just... incoherent.

PgcDemux runs off the exe. Azid and BeSweet don't need installtion, they are both command line apps - but that's no problem now you've mastered VOBDNorm usage! BeSweet has more options and you can also get a GUI for it, but for simple AC3 to WAV conversion Azid will be fine.

**UPDATE**

ive spent hours on this....(because im stubborn)....i could probably just wait until it comes back on again and rerip it...but im determined...

so last night i started on your guide mother...and i played around with besweet cause i found it on my hd(from my early pal conversions to ntsc)...i used 2 methods to raise volume from ac3 to ac3....and one worked pretty good...but the sync was out after remuxing.....i used ImagoMPEG-Muxer.exe to remux...i noticed the 5 MB file was now 7MB after volume leveling and it started out of sync around a second or so...i also tried converting to wav(it self leveled the volume also)...so i instantly converted back and again was out of sync after remux

so i tried a remux with the original ac3 file...again with ImagoMPEG-Muxer...it gives an error saying that the original ac3 file is not a valid audio file...but like i said.. after volume raising i can remux...hmmm?????...too bad its out of sync

so i started from scratch and i tried this guide
http://forum.videohelp.com/topic317...%20vol%20volume
also a much better volume but still out of sync

....shit stained again



also jay ares guide is not a plugin for audition to handle ac3 files...i would still need a conversion

i think i gave you the wrong bookmark in my last post... sorry for the confusion.

With Adobe Audition, what you need to do is dynamics processing.

Select the entire sound file, then go to the effects menu -> amplitude -> dynamics processing. Select the 'classic softknee' preset and click OK.

This runs the file through a filter where the dynamics of the file are adjusted to fit the curve, in this case, making the softer parts louder and vice versa. If you want to strengthen or weaken the effect, you can manually adjust the curve. Don't overdo it though - it can make parts of it sound washy.
