DVD sound problem, besweet question.

[mattstan]

Hi,

I've got a DVD which has way too low sound levels and inappropriate levels, whereby the narrator is barely audible even with the TV volume on max and sometimes it's even worse when music is played.

I've extaracted the m2v and ac3 files using vobedit and used this command for besweet:

BeSweet -core(
-input "J:\Working\TDM.ac3"
-output "J:\Working\TDM_MAX_HEAVY.wav"
-6chwav )
-azid( -g max -c heavy )

Thinking this will increase the volume and make the sound extremes closer together (voice louder / music lower) and it seems to have worked with the wav. However when I convert the wav back to ac3 using the command below it sounds pretty much the same as it did in the first place.

BeSweet -core(
-input "J:\Working\TDM_MAX_HEAVY.wav"
-output "J:\Working\TDM_MAX_HEAVY.ac3" )
-ac3enc( -b 448 -6ch )

Am I do something wrong? Please advise.

Thanks.

why dont you just normalize the tracks or increase the volume with sound forge or something?

the Dolby Dialog Normalization and Profile are only at default levels for besweet ..

you may have to remix it also ..
