Increasing Audio On DVD? - Club CDFreaks

Dr. Feelgood · 19-06-2007

I have a lot of DVD's that I like to rip and author on my own using DVDLab. But many of them have low audio.

How do I increase the audio?

**harley2ride** · 19-06-2007

Most decent video editing softwares have the ability to adjust the audio. You may need to demux before you can do this.

Dr. Feelgood · 19-06-2007

What does demux mean? and does DVDLab have it?

*Kerry56* · 19-06-2007

Demuxing means splitting the dvd (or other type of video) into separate audio and video streams. DVDLab Pro can definitely split a dvd into separate streams, in fact it prefers to have them that way.

Lab Pro has some audio tools, a transcoder is included, but if it can adjust volume I haven't used it---haven't looked for it either. Lab Pro is an authoring tool, and not meant for doing much editing.

You can adjust the volume of the audio in something like Audacity or Goldwave. Audacity is free, but you should check to make sure it can handle pcm .wav files.
Make sure to have your output as 48kHz, not 44kHz, if you are going back to a dvd.

Forgot to say explicitly that you will have to demux before importing the audio stream to an audio editing program like Audacity or Goldwave.

I don't have time to work up a tutorial like you asked, but maybe someone else can help out. It's not that difficult once you understand what you are doing.

Dr. Feelgood · 20-06-2007

This is to complicated, first I have to download a new program. The convert the audio for it, the download another program just to convert the audio file back the way it was?

I don't know if I want to do this, there's to many programs involved. I don't want to clutter my PC up with programs just to increase the audio on a dvd. There's got to be an easier way.

**harley2ride** · 21-06-2007

I've been around for awhile, and I am unaware of any easier way. If you do find one, please let the rest of us know. Before you can learn to work with video, it helps to have a good understanding of terminology, and the processes that occur. It would help a bunch if you did some reading on the forums at www.videohelp.com There are a lot of step by step guides and tutorials there.

In using DVD Fab Platinum and i'm encoding to .avi for my Creative Zen with the audio increased to 300%. Anyway i wonder after i encode it to .avi i can use WinAvi or whatever to go back to Vob's with my audio increase i used in Fab? I know the quality of the movie will be less but the audio would be higher?

Anyone tried it? You guys know more than i do

All of these programs are very good to have on your system if you will be doing any type of video editing or DVD authoring. They are all free.
Here's a tutorial I threw together quickly

Nice little guide Daemonicus. Got it saved in case someone else brings this up.

Have to remember to give you credit though.

yeah i know it was a stupid post being how no one replied

*Kerry56* · 24-06-2007

I didn't think it was a stupid post rolling...I just didn't know the answer since I don't use DVDFab Platinum.

And I've learned not to stick my head out too far in these video encoding threads. A little bit of knowledge is just enough to get me in too deep.
