Any recommendation on audio conversion software?

[pizzaboyUK]

I mostly use iWisoft Free Video Converter, which works great for AC3/MP3, however sometimes (particularly with MKV and MP4 video files and DTS audio) the conversion fails.

As a backup I use Bigsoft Total Video Converter, but I'm very suspicious as to whether the conversion actually works (all the time anyway) The reason why I think this is because, after I've muxed the video with the newly created audio file, then imported to VidCoder for video conversion, sometimes the audio yields squeeky digital mess (even though I used the auto passthrough)... I end up having to mux the newly created video file with originally converted audio file

Oh, something with a easy to use GUI or at least frontend would be helpful.

Cheers

What are you doing? It sounds like you want a video converter that supports more audio formats. And not just ac3 to mp3,etc conversions.

Baldrick. Yeah, ideally I'd like to be able to get the video to a specific filesize and the audio files to a certain filesize range (320-360MB, so having to play with the bitrates a bit) but maintain 5.1 surround. Haven't found anything in particular that works well, so currently running quite a few apps to get the desired result.

then you should try HandBrake or vidcoder

Hmm... VidCoder does seem to have support for AC3(libav). Wish the volumizer was a bit more friendlier though... no idea how to calculate decibels

Go for ffmpeg, dB - rule is simple 20*LOG10(your ratio expressed as positive and not zero - 0 ) - for example when ratio is 100 (so signal was for example 1 and after some operation is 100 then ratio can be expressed as 40dB), changing dB to ratio is also simple: 10^((your dB)/20) and as a result you receive ratio.
