I tried the '-G 0.8' and didn't notice any difference. I then tried the eq2 suggestion but got a lot of warnings or errors about "audio block/sample failure..." Here's what I tried: transcode -i z001.dv -w 1400,250,100 -I 1 -R 1 -x mplayer="-vf eq2=0.9:1.1:-0.1:1.1" ,raw -y xvid,null -o /dev/null transcode -i z001.dv -w 1400,250,100 -I 1 -R 2 -x mplayer="-vf eq2=0.9:1.1:-0.1:1.1",raw -y xvid,null -o 7.avi What I had previously used with no errors was transcode -i z001.dv -w 1400,250,100 -I 1 -R 1 -x dv,raw -y xvid,null -o /dev/null transcode -i z001.dv -w 1400,250,100 -I 1 -R 2 -x dv,raw -y xvid,null -o 7.avi Do you know what is wrong with the eq2 syntax?
