Movie with Low Sound

[d_unbeliever]

im converting an AVI to VCD but the audio is too Low

i tried extracting the audio and saving it to WAV using virtualdub but i got the "no audio decompressor could be found" error

i used gspot and it said there that i already got 2 compatible codec one of them is AC3Filter

Fs=48000 Hz Bitrate=448 kb/s (5 ch) CBR <<< Gspot also gave me this info in the audio portion

what codec do i need or is there any way i could make my audio louder before or after i convert it to VCD format. im using Mainconcept in converting...

hi 8)

have u tried leaving the audio and video together and importing them as a whole into main concept, using layer 2 in the audio. another way is to use tmpg encoder this does a good job of converting using the wizard. hope this is some use

Start -> All Programs --> AC3Filter --> AC3Filter Config -> Master Gain +20 dB

kb i did that but my converted VCD has a very low sound that's my problem that's why i opted to extract first the WAV...

junkmalle after doing that do i convert my AVI to VCD using Mainconcept righ away? will Mainconcept automatically get the changes i made in AC3Filter?

will my VCD movie have a increase volume if i played using my VCD player? or is this change in AC3Filter master gain only applicable when i play the movie in my computer?

It applies the gain to the audio file itself, so you'll notice it no matter what you play the VCD on.

VCD only supports MPEG audio. So AC3 audio has to be converted to MPEG audio for VCD. Any program that uses the AC3Filter to uncompress the AC3 audio will get louder audio after you change that setting.

I don't know anything about MainConcept. If it uses the installed AC3Filter your audio should get louder. If MainConcept uses its own AC3 decoder that setting won't make any difference.
