fix audio pops in mpeg video

[LoCo]

I have a few videos that have audio pops in them, is there any way to remove them?

Were these audio pops always in the original feed or were they created by cutting and merging, or were they created during ending in TMPGEnc?

I didnt personally do anything to edit/cut them, but i talked to the ripper & he said all he did was convert the raw .avis from his cap. card to .mpg. He no longer has the .avi & isnt willing to rerip the videos, so thats why i'm trying to see if theres a way to take them out.

I think your Ripper is converting the avi to mpg stream in one go (better usually to do the video and audio feed seperately) and therefore is getting these audio pops. Tell him/her/it in future to seperate them. You should ask him/her/it if they too experience these audio pops.

To your problem now, the only thing I can think of is extracting the audio part of your mpg file and then working on it with audio software. Mind you it would take a lot of time and bother editing, normalising, possibly smoothing out every "pop" you have. If the clip you are trying to better is something popular - you want to consider extracting a non-popping audio off a DVD,VCD etc. and then using this audio stream for your alreading encoded video. Keyword de- and re-muxing.
