Dear friends,
I have a movie in mp4 (x264 for video and 5.1 AAC for audio) format; when I played the movie on TV the audio dialogue volume was too low, I researched bit on the internet and found that if I convert the 5.1 audio to stereo, the situation would be better. So I used Xmedia Recode (https://www.xmedia-recode.de/) to convert the audio from 5.1 to Stereo using the following settings:
Video Mode: Copy Audio Mode: Convert, 128 kbps 48000 Hz Stereo
The resulting file sounds much much better on the TV, but I would like the dialogues to have a bit more volume; so I researched again and found that I need to “normalize” the volume of the movie file to a higher level. So again using Xmedia Recode, I analyzed the converted file and it had “Track Volume” of 80.4 dB. So I figured that I need to increase this volume level, so using the below settings on the original movie file:
Video Mode: Copy Audio Mode: Convert, 128 kbps 48000 Hz Stereo Filters: Volume Correction= Volume Normalization(dbB), Precision= 32 bit, Normalize (dB)= 89
The resulting file, when analyzed has a “Track Volume” of 95.6 dB instead of the expected 89 dB, why is that ? Also will the TV speakers be damaged if I use this movie file (with the 95.6dB volume)? the sound is not distorted in any way….
Please help.....
