Does anybody know of a dvd to mp4 converter that will allow me to increase audio levels?
The desire's external speaker is lacking quite a bit in terms of audio quality and loudness and films I have previously converted to mp4 via handbreak, although looking very good, are a bit on the quite side though the external speaker with max volume selected. I know the desire is capable of playing media slightly louder as most YouTube videos playback at a higher volume.
In the past, I have downloaded and tested lots of dvd converters for best playback on the HD2 but uninstalled them all as I found Handbrake to be the best for the HD2. I know that at least one of them did allow you to adjust the audio level but I can’t find it again.
The Desire has vey low media audio playback volume compaired to the HD2 so I need the audio volume level to be a bit higher.
Cheers
Jason
Can HandBrake's DRC (Dynamic Range Control) help you out at all? You probably need to normalize rather than just boost (or maybe compress and boost) otherwise you'd get clipping/distortion.
A few posts relating to DRC that may help:

Thanks for the reply Rob, I have tried setting the DRC to 2.5 but it doesn't seem to make any differance.
I just wish I could get these files to playback at the same level as most Youtube videos playback.
Somebody took the time to make this nice comparison between what is available in video for audio (appalling) and what is possible with the microphone for a N1, but should more or less be the same for the Desire:

This really needs fixing.
That's ridiculous. Anyway, I took four 20 seconds recordings of some of my music, once in HTC Sense camera, once with DeFrost Nexus One camera. They have exactly the same quality, I think, but you judge, they're attached in a zip.

the N1 has dual mic for noise cancellation.
I doubt it has anything to do with the dual mic. If media_settings.xml file is anything to go by, audio in video files is recorded using the amrnd codec, at a quality of 12.2kbps and a sample rate of 8000Hz...
Same on all profiles from the looks of it (720p, low, youtube, etc)
Code:
<AudioEncoderCap name="amrnb" enabled="true"
minBitRate="5525" maxBitRate="12200"
minSampleRate="8000" maxSampleRate="8000"
minChannels="1" maxChannels="1" />
And don't forget the audio settings they said they used for PCM Recorder Lite...
16-bit WAV at 44.1kHz... then converted to MP3 (conversion makes no difference to the initial recorded format, other than compressing it)
Is is purely about the amr audio codec used in video recording.
Why not write out 44.1kHz 16 bit PCM data to the mp4.
Does anyone know where I can change the audio codec used on the camcorder for CM6?
Hi! I'd like to know if it's possible to change the video compression codec .3gp. Isn't this a contraddiction? The phone can record at good quality 720p but the compression is so old and makes the video looks worse. In comparison with the galaxy s desire hd videos seems worse, even if it's camera is better. Thank you!
I would like to know this too.
i know recording is dependent and configurable on some apps. yet after trying out a few roms i found that certain ones had poor quality or non-working mic recording.
on which roms have you guys had a pleasant experience with the default mic recording + audio playback?
