@ afonic and/or moderators:
can\'t find the ideal thread to post this tool.
please, take to better place if needed.
thanks!
 

thanks !

i\'m doing tests...

using dvd Mana mtv unplugged
(the audio volume of this dvd is not loud but is clean!)
i demux the audio and video streams with vobedit.

then i load the ac3-2 channels in headac3he and encode as wave
normalization at 100% in 48k(without downsample)!

i take this wave in ffmpegGui to convert again to ac3-2 channels
to compare the general quality with the dvd source.
results:
ffmpegGUI is stable and faster.
give less volume and treble comparing with the source.

now my surprise:
i take this same wave and load in sonic foundry soft encode,
adjust to -31db(max) and (believe or not)
was needed 6 more time to encode!
give less volume than ffmpegGUI!
 

in the first sign ffmpegGUI is better!
of course,i will do more tests cos like i posted,
this dvd don\'t have high volume.

now i want to know if we can encrease the volume and  treble
using command line or another way!

any idea?

right afonic, only for tests!
 :lol:

like i told i\'m testing the performance of the program and the audio quality!

i was normalized at 100% in HeadAC3he to got the wave...
i don\'t use goldwage (i know and used before..it\'s great) but
i open this wave in sound forge and the volume is in the limit.
if i encrease the volume in only one db give big clips...it\'s in the \"limit\".

right afonic...i need to learn \"command lines\"!

again to test i did:
original ac3-5.1 channels 384
original ac3-2 channels 192
soft encode ac3-2 channels 192
ffmpegGUI ac3-2channels 192
headac3he stereo mp2  192

like posted before the audio was demuxed with vobedit and
encoded as wave, 100% normalization without downsample(48k).
this wave was used to do the last 3 channels.


comparing the original ac3-2 channels testing dvd-rw in pc and in 2  players:

from:
soft encode with more \"middle\" , same volume.
ffmpegGUI less \"trebles\", less volume ( ~ -2db )
headac3he more presence and loudness(clear).

ffmpeGUI is faster,soft encode sounds better and
headac3he is really clear (stereo)

the best:
is the first dvd Mana mtv unplugged with 5 audio channels  :!:
 

right my friend!

besweet (with gui) have seamless quality of headac3he!
but headac3 is a little better and faster!

in ac3-2 channels soft encode is winner and in mp2 headac3he is winner!
 :wink:

later i will test the surcode  :!:
