Converting DVD to .mkv...
I use gordian knot and its' DGindex to extract the audio from the movie. I DGindex to decode the sound to Wav. Source is DD 2.0. When listening to the wav, the sound level is way lower than when playing the movie with media player classic. I've tried with (almost) every combination of settings in DGindex that I can think of, but no solution from there.
Is it MPC feature that it puts more volume to DD sounds than there really is? I don't have ACfilter, so it's not a question of having ACFilter settings affecting the sound level (as in some questions seems to be the case).
Is this a feature I just have to live with?


Ps.
The reason I decode to wav is that I then convert the .wav file to .Ogg with latest oggenc.

Why not convert directly from vob to ogg using besweet, with its builtin gain functions? An example commandline would be:

besweet -core ( -input "file.lst" -substream 0x80 -output "out.ogg" ) -ota ( -hybridgain ) -ogg ( -q .... )

where file.lst contains the name of the .vob files (vts_01_1.vob , vts_01_2.vob, etc.)

You can get libvorbis dlls for the latest oggenc from www.rarewares.org
