Boost audio in SVCD-to-VCD conversion?

[SMW]

I have a couple of SVCDs with very low audio levels. I'd like to convert them to VCD for a fussy standalone DVD player.

Problem - I can't billy up the audio level.

I'm converting the SVCD to a mpa and d2v. I don't have anything that will read an MPA to boost the gain, and TMPGEnc has been crashing when I convert the MPA to a WAV and then try to create a VCD from the resulting WAV file (or MP3).

Suggestions? Thanks for your attention.

take your mpa file and convert it to WAV with some sort of codec program, i use www.dbpoweramp.com

then open up the WAV in a sound editor, normalise and save it, and open up TMPGENC, and re-encode the WAV into a VCD-standard audio file.

then you should just be able to multiplex the 2 files together..

Thanks for the dbPowerAMP pointer. Earlier, for some reason, I was getting crashes in TMPGEnc when I tried to get output from the d2v/WAV combo, but not now.
