Nomalizing sound of many video clips

[davidra]

I am putting together a DVD with over 90 video clips, many from Youtube. The volume of the clips varies considerably, from way too loud with distortion, too barely audible. I have burned the video and audio to VOB files and then burned a DVD to test it using TMPEG Author. What I'm looking for is some way to normalize the entire disk/folder at once. It would take forever to encode every file with TMPEG Enc. There must be some easy way to do this.....right?

Had you converted the videos first to Xvid AVI, it would have been very simple.

There's a batch procedure called VOB_GAIN (do a search), but I can't recall how effective it was.

You could download a trial version of MPEG Video Wizard DVD, extract the vobs to the timeline and apply normalization to all the audio clips at one time. Then export the entire timeline without no effect on the video. That's how I would do it.

You can author them in uLead DVD Movie Factory and normalize them as you encode. It accepts a lot of input formats and the encoder is certainly good enough for stuff from YouTube.

I've got an old version of TMPEG Author (1.5). Will an upgrade of that program allow me to normalize audio? I tried running the streams through TMPEG Enc, setting them to normalize, but it only made a slight difference....the loud clips were still too loud, the soft ones inaudible......
