    I have a DVD whose audio is very low. Is there a way to rip it to my hard drive, increase the audio volume and then burn it back to a DVD?

    1 VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v and ac3 and .sup
    2 PX3- Convert AC3 to WAV
    3 Audacity- Load wav and adjust audio and output New WAV
    4 FFMPEGGui- Convert New WAV to New AC3
    5-MUXMAN- Mux m2v with New AC3 into New VOB (a New VOB folder with all the required files is created)



    vobedit
    http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downlo...obedit_254.html

    Run VobEdit > 'Open', select VTS_01_1.VOB (the first large VOB of the title, the rest will come in at the same time).
    'Demux' > select 'Demux Multiple Streams at once'
    The files will be saved as an .m2v ,ac3 and .sup if subtitles were selected.

    px3 ac3 to wav
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/PX3_AC3_to_WAV

    Load the ac3 and select an output name eg ac3.wav

    Audacity
    http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/so...y-win-1.2.6.exe

    Drag or load the wav.
    Highlight the section to amplify, click 'Effects'.
    'Amplify'
    Check 'Allow Clipping' and set the slider up ~9db, check the level then OK.
    Play the stream to verify that the sound is good.
    Export the file as 'new.wav'

    ffmpeggui
    http://download2.videohelp.com/download/ffmpeggui03c.zip

    Load new.wav and save as new.ac3

    muxman
    http://www.mpucoder.com/Muxman/versions.shtml

    Load the video .m2v, the .sup and the new audio new.ac3

    After trying the steps above:
    1 VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v and ac3 and .sup
    2 PX3- Convert AC3 to WAV
    3 Audacity- Load wav and adjust audio and output New WAV
    4 FFMPEGGui- Convert New WAV to New AC3
    5-MUXMAN- Mux m2v with New AC3 into New VOB (a New VOB folder with all the required files is created)

    I can't get passed step 1, VOBEDIT- Demux VOB to m2v and ac3 and .sup, I get VOB and DTS files. How would I convert the DTS to get AC3. I trying to reburn a DVD becuase I don't get any sound when I burn it.

    You should get M2v and AC3, not VOB and DTS.
    I thought all DVD's had ac3, but you can try converting the DTS to AC3 or WAV with 'DaudioK'.
    Note it claims to work on DTS, but I have never tried it with anything except ac3.

    'DaudioK' work fine, I was able to convert DTS to AC3 with no problem.

    Is there a second choice for MUXMAN. It seems to work but freezes up the computer if I touch everything while it's running.

    Thanks it worked perfect first time but I'm not getting the whole movie. VOBEDIT is scanning the whole movie but only makes a 4.3GB combined file when it's finished. I tried 3 or 4 times with the same results. This is a 2.5 hour movie and I only get 1.5 hours of the movie. I not worried about the final size, that I can either burn it full size or reduce it with DVD Shrink 3.2. By the way it's starting out at 4.35gb. Can you suggest what is going wrong or a different program for demuxing.

    DGIndex, AKA DGMPGDEC will demux the VOB files.
    http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html

    It's also part of a package called AMVapp.
    http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/audio3b.html

    File > Open , select/highlight all the relevant VOB files.
    Press F5, a popup lists the tracks and the video starts playing.
    File > Stop, to stop playback.
    Audio > Output method > Demux all tracks (or select one)
    File > Save Project and demux video.

    I don't know why VOBEdit is not getting all the video.It's very reliable.

    DGMPGDec worked great. I was able to burn my DVD with sound.

    It's no big thing but how do I insert chapters. At what stage did I miss them. Was it with DGMPGDec or were they missing from the start.

    Thanks.

    With DVDAuthor GUI, the third button.
    For subtitles, the 'Extras' button.

    After upgrading my ConvertXtoDvd, I was playing around and decided to try the movie I was just converting. I imported the VOB files and made up a menu for the Movie. I knew the DTS sound would not work so I imported the AC3 file I had just made up with DAudioK. As part of the process ConvertXtoDvd took care of the chapters for me.

    I wish these programs tell you when you might have a problem. Now I know, surround sound (DTS)can be a problem.

    Thanks for your help.
