My Volume Is To Loud After Burning...The Sound Like Rumbles

[justinmm2005]

I ripped some movies last week and the volume was set to loud...does Nero Express allow you to lower the volume or am I gonna have go through the trouble to get the disc again, and rip it again....

What you are describing sounds a) impossible - ripping a disc does not change the volume, and b) outside the rules of this forum as these don't sound likes discs you actually own.

So, sticking with discs that you do own, what was you process for ripping them ?

He probably means that they are on a really high shelf and he has to get the ladder to reach them.

Assuming that these are your DVDs, ripping doesn't do anything to the audio, as guns1inger said.

What software did you use to rip the DVDs?

[justinmm2005]

OMG yes you can if you want I will take a snap shot...I used #1 DVD Ripper and the default volume was 3 I set it to 6....it is possible I have over 50 different burners and rippers...and the dvd is legal you guys dont have to insult me...

[guns1inger]

So you pushed the default -31dB audio up to -6dB and wonder why the audio is so loud ?

Why did you even touch the audio ?

Why not use #1 DVD Audio Ripper to undo the damage by ripping you disc (which is too loud) and at the same time dropping the audio level back ?

Or you could turn the volume down.

I will try that thanks! sorry for getting mad....

Why did you even touch the audio ?

Yes my experience is leave the audio alone. Apply noise reduction (de-hiss) if necessary, but don't eq/boost/tweak/whatever.

I would like to read something about audio standards for TV broadcast. Anyone know some good links?

I tought it would make it louder so I would have to turn my tv up so loud....why do DVD's have to be turned up so loud anywaze....every DVD we own has to be turned up like all the way just to be able to hear it, and then when we wanna watch tv we have to turn it back down, its annoying...thats why I did it, to see if I could get it louder without turning up my tv....but I was wrong...everyone learns from their mistakes

Dolby Digital has what is called a wide dynamic range. Television has a very narrow dynamic range. The dynamic range is the difference between the softest noise and the loudest noise. A wide dynamic range gives you much more realistic noise, better reproduction, and generally and better listening experience. A narrow dynamic range, such as a TV has, makes for cramped sound, lower quality reproduction, and a cheaper feel.

For the most part, DVDs should be listened to through a decent multi-speaker AV amplifier setup, not crappy television speakers (and I don't care how much you paid for your TV, the speakers are crappy)
