Hello,

I wanted to know if it's normal that DVD2ONE lower the volume of the movie ?

The FAQ say that :

Q Does DVD2one support DTS or AC3?
A DVD2one only compresses the VIDEO streams and leaves the AUDIO stream untouched and copies them 1 on 1

I can tell you that after 3 tests with 3 different DVD (American Pie 2 , Star Wars Episode 2 and The silence of the Lambs), when I listen the VOB files I have got after using SmartRipper, the sound is normal, but after using DVD2ONE on those VOBs, the new VOBs have a lower volume each time !!

I'm using WinDVD 4.5 Platinum to read the VOB files.

Any ideas ?

I have not seen this at all. Are you ripping all the audio? Are you comparing the same audio ie DTS is louder than Dolby 5.1 and Dolby Proglogic, but requires a proper decoder. Dolby 5.1 will seem lower when being used on an audio system that does not have 5.1 speakers and propper amp for it. Dolby 2.0 Pro Logic should sound the same all the way

ok it's a possibility that WinDVD is not playing the same audio layer from the ripped DVD thant from the resulted DVD of DVD2One, I check this and tell you.

As I don't have a DVD burner right now, the fact is I couldn't test the resulte on my DVD player and 5.1 system.



Mr Strange

I've just tried dvd2one with Star Wars Episode I and the volume sounds just like the original. I'm still waiting to buy a dvd-writer so, just like you, I can't test the results on my Thomson dvd player. Anyway, everything seems ok on my pc. I use PowerDvd to watch movies: I suggest you to try it and see if you notice any difference.

Ciao,
