I have used EAC3to more gui to convert AC3 and DTS files, with success.
Is it possible to use it to adjust levels? How?
I am re-authoring some of my DVDs, and as I always convert the demuxed AC3 file to was in order to help me with the subtitles, I use Soundforge to navigate the audio track accurately.
It's quite common that the converted wav track, which is only 2-track stereo now, shows low levels, sometimes very low, like +/- 30dB or less.
Usually I proceed as this:
1) If peaks are within +/- 6dB things are fine and should be left untouched.
3) If levels are less than that, and the film was not mixed in 5.1, then I adjust levels up.
The question is how to do it with the original AC3 files directly, but also being able to "see" the levels to avoid clippings.
How can I do that?
