HP TouchPad Software/Hardware

[#1]

Hello everyone!

I am new to the boards and to the touchpad.  I have a question about adjusting the volume in video playback.  I woudl like to know while during the conversion process, are there any converters out there that can boost the volume?  I have been playing with Movavi, AVS, and Cucusoft.  I am converting an AVI to MPEG-4 or Ipad format, whichever is on the menu.  When I transfer the converted file, the video looks great and the audio plays back.  However, the volume to me is not high enough.  I have also used my headphones and it still does not play as loud as my iphone 4 and they are basically the same file and format.  I bought this because of the price and I am going on vacation later this year and I want to use it on the plane so that is why I am having the volume issue.  To me it seems it wont be loud enough on the plane.   Is there anything I am missing?  I have also tried to upgrade to the latest OS version but the TP is always coming back with the unable to connect message.  I am still working on that.  I cant get the web doctor to work but that is another thread.

Thanks very much

Are you adjusting the volume with the volume control while the video is playing? Have you tried a restart? You may want to look into the Kalemsoft player app that will play many more video formats without conversion and also will display in the 16:9 aspect ratio.

So far, I have not had any issues with volume in converting DVD content using Handbrake, so I have not had to root around into Handbrake's various options to see if there is any way to boost volume.

However, I also use Nero Studio to burn DVDs, and to save files from one format into another.  It has the ability to increase the volume of the output file while editing the video.

Ok, I think I have mastered how to convert my movies to play on the TP with no issues.  However, I need to somehow increase the volume level of the converted movie.  I have already installed the preware option that increases the internal volume levels, but some of the movies I have converted seem a little low for my taste.  I have been trying trial versions of several video converters such as DVD fab, Xilisoft, Cucusoft and others but I like Handbrake's track record and it's free!

What I would like to know is if there is a volume setting in Handbrake?  If not does anyone know a way to increase the volume levels when you convert movies any other way?

Thanks very much.

Did you ever figure this out? I have the same question. I take my Touchpad on the plane and the audio output is not loud enough to hear the movie. I need something to reliably boost the audio.
