mencoder and lavc audio

@ngelot · 01-06-2006, 07:23 AM

With

Code:

cat *vob | mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:aspect=16/9 -ofps 25 -o movie.mpg -

I get movie.mpg...
The problem is that after I've burned it to a DVD-R, playing it on my DVD-player the sound is VERY low.
I know that I can "rip" the sound and normalize it and then mux it together with the video, but I would like it to be done with one command using lavc (lavcopts).... With 4-5 vobs it's too much work.

I also know that I can use lame or toolame insted of lavc, and that lameopts can rescale volume using vol=#, but then I'll get mp3. Don't know if thats compatible with DVD?

Does anyone know how I can boost the volume using lavc (ac3)?

Does anyone know where I can find a listing of all the different options (and their use) for lavcopts?
I've been googling for a couple of days, but I can't seem to find any good listings...

Thanks!

You can use the software volume control -af volume=X, where X is the amplification in decibels. This works the same way both in mplayer and in mencoder, so it's easy to test different values of X.

Thanks!

It was something like this I was looking for...

I've got another problem too:

When ripping/encoding a dvd with:

Code:

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:volume=10:aspect=16/9 -aid 128 -sid 7 -ofps 25 -o movie.mpg dvd://1

I get the movie.mpg with the correct audio but no subtitles....
If I dump title 1 as a single vob on my HD and then run

Code:

mencoder -oac lavc -ovc lavc -of mpeg -mpegopts format=dvd -vf scale=720:576,harddup -srate 48000 -af lavcresample=48000 -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vrc_buf_size=1835:vrc_maxrate=9800:vbitrate=5000:keyint=15:acodec=ac3:abitrate=192:volume=10:aspect=16/9 -aid 128 -sid 7 -ofps 25 -o movie.mpg dvd_dump.vob

the subtitles are included...

Do you know why I don't get subtitles in my first example?
