Need to normalize audio on all my VCD mpegs...

[ChaunceyK]

I've got literally 100's of vcd-format mpeg files, and I want them to all have the same general volume. Is there a program I can use to just run the mpegs through it, and be done with them?

I'm very familiar with the TMPGenc family, and I know they have a volume adjustment setting, but unless I'm mistaken, they seem to only be able to increase or decrease the volume by a fixed percentage. What I want to do, specifically, is set all mpegs to the same exact decibal level.

As always, THANK YOU!!

you can try goldwave, open the mpg. save as wav mp2. multiplex the audio to the mpg with tmpgenc under file->mpeg tools. but this would take time for 100 mpgs.

you maybe could find some command line tools that could fix it. and automatically multiplex it back again. like besweet.

I appreciate your trying to help me, Soopafresh, but I'm a little confused & want to make sure I understand so I don't accidentally mess up my mpegs.

I unzipped BeSplitv0.9b6.zip into a directory & then put your norm.bat file in the same directory.

Next, I should split the mpegs into separate audio & video files with my TMPGenc Plus.

Then, take the resulting mp2 files & use the norm.bat file on the whole lot of them, to normalize them to each other.

Then use TMPGenc Plus to put the audio & video files back together into an mpeg again.

Am I correct?

I'm working with anime .AVI's which needs to be converted with TMPGEnc anyway. So I'll try that batch files with split audio and video and see.
