Why is AUDIO so low...???

[thailand]

Hello,

Why is the audio output from a movie who was converted so low...
Is there some settings that we can change in besweet so that is sounds a bit louder.
This is very disturbing..
When I play a movie from the shop my output on my home cinema system is 65dB.
When i play a movie from the filmmachine i must put it on 30dB to get a good sound output.
Please help

I've had the same experience with the sound levels. I've found that when the audio is AC3 it is low, so I've resorted to stripping out the audio track when it's AC3 and converting it to MP2 to improve the audio level.

It's possible that the tool used to encode the AC3 audio causes this, but I'm just a user that's just learning, so I can't say with any certainty.

Try the latest version 1.4 it does not reencode the AC3 when no framerateconversion is chozen.

I will give it a try..

Thanks for the update

What do you mean...
No framerate conversion is not allways a solution because we must sometimes choose it for NTSC to PAL.
The sound ALWAYS stays low so theres nithing changed.

AVI with DTS locks up the computer and says UNSUPPORTED AUDIO STREAM

I've just deleted THE FILMMACHINE...
I now start using DVDSANTA

Goes much faster with the SAME quality and the AUDIO is VERY GOOD AND NOT SO THAT I MUST THE AUDIO POWER ON MAXIMUM???

I compared the resulting output of DVDSanta and TFM on an XVID I downloaded and found that although DVDSanta was faster, TFM produced a better quality video (using CCE 2.50). The original audio level of the XVID was low, and the output of both DVDSanta and TFM were equally low.

My vote goes to TFM. I like speed too, but I don't want to give up quality. There's another plus for TFM in that it can go from PAL to NTSC and NTSC to PAL.

Totally true...
dvd2svcd and tfm are encoders-it means it will encode avi to mpeg2 while those convertors more transcode-thats why they are fast.For good quality avis i use dvdsanta too as its fast and quality is ok,but when you load a lowbitrate avi in and wanna get a svcd out of it-i go with a cce-4 pass vbr and while it does take time-it get good as it is possibly to be
Anyway,i like a dvdsanta-it can do a few different things-and always their iso images-before i burn play in a player-unlike nero
Regard the sound-when i had a tfm installed-is it there some button in advanved settings so you can normalize a sound-gain or i saw that in dvd2svcd-only??

Unfortunately only in DVD2SVCD zver...

ok.so i was wrong..and its really good built as i remember it doing it auto-so you dont need to tweak,test...etc....and sound was always-topnotch level
But if it wasnt cm tutorial to read it few times i dont think i would sucsseed with dvd2svcd as its so much more complicated then tfm
tfm is so nice and simple

Which options do you like with the audio encoding. Maybe I can implement them.

[skyheartblue]

Mask, as I pointed before it will be wonderful to have the ability to out-put any audio format to stereo rather than only to 5.1 as it is today.
Not all have home-cinema systems that can out-put such sound.
And if you don't have such than a 5.1 sound can be heard very low on stereo systems…

Look at the attach image, this is how it's done over DVD2SVCD.

Cheers,
JB

Ok will implement it.

[skyheartblue]

Thank you very much Mask! You make us all leave a better life…!!

Looking forward the next release with this implemented.
