normalize-audio is fast with audio files - it doesn't work *at all* with movies. If normalized-audio worked with mp4 movies, I would already have my tool. You mean, I should use `-c copy' for both ffmpeg calls? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
