ok I've searched for this problem and it seems like there's some similar situations out there but I can't find this exact scenario in any thread so here it goes: my problem is after burning a VCD, I get EXTREMELY low audio playback off the disc in my DVD player. The files work fine on computer, the problem only occurs when played back on a DVD player. I've seen in some threads that talk about similar problems and steps that you can take in virtual dub, then you re-encode the audio track and the .avi in TMPGEnc, but my files have already been converted into .mpg so I don't have the .avi's anymore. Can I still re-encode the .mpeg with the virtual dub audio track in TMPGEnc? And if so, how do I do this? Thanks in advance. -the gonz
This would be more of a problem with your DVDplayer playing mp2 and there is not much you could do about it but raise the audio while encoding maybe. Try the volume rasing on this thread - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/40101
thanks Dela, well I kept searching for answers and I found one that worked, so I'll post it just for future reference. I went through 2 trial and errors to get it to work right but everything is cool now. Download the free shareware encoder TMPG at tmpgenc.net to format in VCD or SVCD. Unzip to a folder and don't create any desktop shortcuts as the program will only work properly if opened from the source folder. (1) Open TMPG and click OK to open project wizard. (2)Select format in window #1/5; eg Video CD - NTSC Format. (3)Click next then browse for file to render in window 2/5. (4)Click on file and then click next. (5) In window 3/5 click on 'other settings' then click the audio tab. (6)Click the 'use audio edit' box and then click 'settings' (7)Click the 'change volume' box then increase the volume percentage in the normalize window. You can hit play to preview the volume increase. Sometimes no audio will play but once your file is formatted the volume will be changed. (8)Close the window with the OK button to save the changes. (9)Click next. This window 4/5 indicates the final file size. (10)Click next. Set the source file name and destination in the browse window. (11) You can start encoding or uncheck the start encoding window and hit the start button at the left hand top of the screen. File rendering will start. There are other features in TMPG that will enable you to clean up any static around the outside of your picture or render your program at a slower speed for a cleaner finished product. Let me know if you are having troubles. Virtual DUB also has audio enhancements if you decide to use it instead of TMPG *And just in case you were wondering, in step 7, I set my audio to 600%.
