labougie Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've only just this week started using DVBViewer and I'm still on a learning curve but so far it has worked spectacularly well. Just a thought - for us oldies who are getting deaf, a simple audio compressor/limiter would help us have the TV volume at a point where we can hear the whispers, without getting blasted by the explosions! Has there been any suggestion of adding such a thing to the Audio Properties or is there a piece of 3rd party software which could be put in the chain? Quote Link to comment
hackbart Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Yes, the Internal Equalizer is not the best choice for this. You might try the postprocessor Plugin (http://www.DVBViewer.tv/forum/topic/17518-postprozessor-plugin/) in combination with a better directshow Filter. Or you install ffmpeg and use its audio Filter. Christian Quote Link to comment
labougie Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Thanks - I'll try all that. Quote Link to comment
Griga Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You might try the postprocessor Plugin in combination with a better directshow Filter. Unnecessary. Just install AC3 Filter (32 bit version for DVBViewer!) and select it on Options -> DirectX as audio decoder - works for all audio types except AAC. Then, when AC3 Filter is used for playback, open its property page (see View -> Filters) and configure the dynamic range compression. I think that's exactly what you want. Quote Link to comment
labougie Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's exactly what I wound up doing and the DRC in AC3 works a treat. Thank you both for your help. I have a Hauppage PCI card and I've been using WinTV7 which is the worst, clunkiest most unreliable piece of supposedly professional software I've ever come across - if Hauppage had any sense they'd pay you guys for a licence to bundle DVBViewer!
