Dear Anyone.

Got an .MKV download which I'm playing on DivX 7 Player. Prob. is, the music's SOOO loud it drowns the dialogue totally.

1.) Am I right in thinking that's because it's designed for speakers a lot farther apart than computer speakers, so the music would be totally on one side of the room and the voices totally on the other?

2.) Is there any way of breaking music/voices apart, so I can use Audacity - or whatever else is suggested - to turn the music down, turn the voices up, output the re-linked (HOPEFULLY perfectly!!) track as an .AC3 (is that the right format?) and reattach it to the video?

3.) I've got Cubase which, so I've been told, can handle video as well as sound. Never tried it, though, for video. Would it, or similar, be able to handle the sound/voices as two different tracks, so I could turn voices up, sound down, without having to detach it from the video first (saving the whole re-edited video under a different name afterwards?)

Any other suggestions really gratefully accepted. I'm a noob, though, so pretend I've got the I.Q. of a slightly retarded teenager for the moment, please!

Yours hopefully

ulricburk.

The audio is designed for a home theater, with it's 5.1
dolby digital audio and wide dynamic range.

There are various utilities to convert it to WAV (Besweet,etc)
from there, you can compress it in Audacity, or similar.

Another option would be to convert it to 2-channel ac3, with normalization.

Use MKVExtract to demux the ac3, and process it from there.
