At both steps, you are transcoding. That means you are paying the MP3 toll
twice, including CPU time and quality loss.
I do not know
This zsh, using ffmpeg and normalize-audio, seems to
do it. But it is slow. Remember normalize-audio is
lightning fast so time is spent getting and putting
together the audio with the movie. Perhaps it can be
optimized somehow - do tell, if you know...
