audio encoding

[shion]

i will be very thankful if anyone can recommend me a program to encode .wav into Mp3 for div-x

[Enchanter]

There are many of them. I use LameMP3.

i prefer extracting sound from vobs via vob2audio to wav and then i use wavelab for further 'enhancement'.

it definitely sounds better to me than besweet/azid/lame created audio!

Oh yes, UnCasMS said it, it works like A CHARM!!!!!!!!!!!!

The quality is superb, unbeatable (in my opinion anyway)

i think vob2audio is good
but it isnt good for creating mp3 with it right?
is wave lab good for lowering quality ( iam right now making 20 min anime around 70mb mark)

I use DVD2AVI to extract *.ac3 file. Then i use BeSweetGUI to convert .ac3 to mp3. Thats take a little bit long but the result is excelent. After that i use SoundForge to amplify the volume.
Till yesterday GoldWave was the volume amplifyer program for me...but ....something strage happening with GoldWave: my mp3 file was 122 minutes long....but GoldWave open that file only 155 minutes long....so no sound for the last 7 minutes for my movie.So, i swich to SoundForge.

[shion]

yeah same as me suhoi
i used goldwave and for some reason the end of the audio
just dissapeared
wots going on?

[BlacKRaiN]

Yeah.. Uncas.. how do you recompress your sound afterwards ?!

[shion]

.......
wot do u mean
dont u (blackrain) mux in audio after video encoding?

[Suhoi]

Shion, i doono what's happening with GoldWave. Try to use SoudForge XP. Is great and more important....works directly on mp3 format like Goldwave

[Suhoi]

Shion, the mp3 file will be short in GoldWave imediately after the file was loaded in GoldWave...not even the volume was amplyfied.

[shion]

i ditched goldwave straight away
it is slow as well
becoz it takes time drawing stupid graphs

[shion]

where the hell do you find these programs?
i will be thankful if somecan tell me
so i can decide for myself which program is the best

[Enchanter]

Most audio editting programs can be downloaded off www.downloads.com

p.s. Most of them are shareware though...
