[MPlayer-users] damaged audio track

[Thomas Keller]

Hello,

I have a video recording of a talk, and the audio track is "damaged". By
that I mean it is hissing sometimes, as if the microphone was too close
to the speaker, or as if the frequencies were too high. I am not sure
what the correct technical description is.

The video can be seen on Youtube:

Is there any way in mplayer to fix this audio problem when playing ?

thanks,
Thomas

When I sample that talk on youtube, I only hear occasional clipping.
Mostly, the audio is very good.

I don't know about doing it in mplayer, but you could strip the audio
with ffmpeg (or mplayer -dumpaudio), use audacity to lower the volume
(amplify adjust or normalize, maybe some compression to make it more
uniform), and then recombine the video and audio with ffmpeg.
