Canapus Sound too quiet problem

[powerkoala]

I'm a newbie, and due to an obsessive nature psychiatrists have declared is to do with a primal need to hunt buffalo over and over (!) (true that), I put many DVDs on one disk, for no real good reason. This fact was garnished when a TV presenter in my country of crap telly explained to the presenter why he had to collect torches. Yes, he collects torches, lots and lots of them. It was Richard and Judy, and the psychiatrist was the Asian chap.

Right, no bollocks : While doing a NTSC to PAL conversion with Canopus, the sound went to hell, the disk is far too quiet. Frankly, the people that make these programs must be bloody stupid, as it never works right.

So how do I fix the sound, I would need programs list and menus to click really, as I've never done it. Will u 'elp please?

Canopus as in Procoder?
What format is the sound?

What's the format? DV-AVI? If so, I use VirtualDub Mod, along with the Panasonic DV Codec to open the files. You can adjust the audio level there. Or if it's PCM, which takes up a lot of disc space, you can convert it there after increasing the level, or save it out as a WAV with full processing and use a freeware audio editor like Audacity to make audio corrections, including levels. Then just add it back in with the DV video.

Or you could convert the modified WAV to AC3 with ffmpeggui and add it back with the video when you author to DVD.

Lots of ways.

Assuming you use Canopus Procoder, once you load yor source file, you can double click on it and an advanced options window will appear, you can find both video and audio filters there (also you can trim your in & out points), in the audio filters list you can find Normalize, Volume, etc...

In answer to questions, the sound is MPEG-1 2 ch, according to YAAI, and the source format was really just a "demuxed" (with DVD decrypter) DVD, so mpv or mpv or something. Yes, it is Canopus Procoder 2.0.
