AC3->MP3 results in distortion/crackling/popping

Post by Deleted User 12553 »

I have been having an audio problem with many of my videos. The source audio streams are 5.1 AC3 streams (mkv) and the output audio stream is MP3 (avi). The output videos have a terrible popping/crackling/distortion sound, any time there is a loud event (like an explosion or gunshot).

I am guessing the problem is related to the low frequency channel, maybe it is overloading the lame encoder? Or perhaps just the overall volume of the AC3 input is overloading the encoder. I have tried all the combinations of mix (stereo, dolby, pro logic) as well as various DRC settings. None of them have worked.

Is there any previous experience of this? The wiki says something about this problem, and that Pro Logic II had to be 5.0 at one stage because otherwise there would be distortion. Is this still the case? I believe my problem is related. Is there anything I can do to stop it? I am just making portable encodes for my Archos so I just want to get rid of the LF channel if possible.

Thanks

Re: AC3->MP3 results in distortion/crackling/popping

I had this problem crop up with Handbrake .9.4. I'm surprised I couldn't find anymore information about it.

The situation was exactly like Voochi indicated where when there was a loud sound (in this case an extended explosion) there was extreme popping and crackling on the mp3 track. This was not present in the original ac3 files (of course) nor did it occur when I encoded the same material with AAC. This was a 1080p source that I was converting to a smaller size using constant quality, retaining the original ac3 but also encoding the audio into 256kb mp3 and the commentary to 192kb mp3 in an MKV container.

Re: AC3->MP3 results in distortion/crackling/popping

Post by randomreuben »

I can verify this bug. I have posted a log file at this post of mine from November 2009. http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=12926

I tried to re-encode a 5.1 AC3 source to 2.0 MP3 again with the new Handbrake 0.94 and the crackling noises are still there on the bass heavy scenes. (I can post the log files when I have access to my own computer this evening) It would be awesome if someone knowledgeable about the 5.1 AC3 to 2.0 MP3 process would give us a heads up about this bug or give this bug a look-see.

Thank you once again for Handbrake. It's awesome!

From the other thread:
randomreuben wrote:This is not a problem in VLC because the sound is distorted when using FFMPEG Tryout + Haali Media Splitter. I have tried changing the various sound output modes in VLC but the distortion is still there. I have included the log file below.
Both solutions are ffmpeg-based (VLC and ffdshow tryouts).

Are any other people with the same issue using a similar (i.e. ffmpeg-based) setup for playback?

Edit: I can definitely reproduce the issue in VLC 1.0.5. That's a start.

Edit 2: My encode log:

[23:54:54] mux: track 2, 19697 frames, 7253265 bytes, 138.09 kbps, fifo 256
Track 1 is MP3 and track 2 is AAC. Since I used the same samplerate (48 kHz) for both tracks I would expect the same number of frames to be muxed, but that's not the case.

Edit 3: Well, did another encode with 4 different codecs (AC3 passthrough, AAC, Vorbis and MP3) and got a different number of frames for each, so that's unrelated to the issue.

Re: AC3->MP3 results in distortion/crackling/popping

Post by randomreuben »

The crackling problem does not occur in the scenes where there are no explosions/gun shots/heavy bass, etc.

The crackling problem does occur when there are explosions/gun shots/heavy bass.

The crackling problem does not occur in the OGG 2.0 stereo and AAC 2.0 stereo downmixes (see attached logs).

The crackling problem does occur in the MP3 2.0 stereo downmixes.

Now I have only tested this problem with the 5.1 AC3 source, but I could do some tests with 2.0 AC3 sources and see if the problem still occurs, but I doubt it.

MP3 audio downmix log:

I was able to work around the issue (on my test source) by setting the DRC to 1 instead of 0.

No idea what's causing the issue though.

Hi Rodeo,

Thank you for looking into the problem. I will try out your workaround tonight.

Please check if I have understood this correctly. I looked up the explanation for DRC found at this post. http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php ... 11&start=0 and it seems that the change in DRC from 0 to 1 makes the audio loudness/softness adjustment at the same level it would be if a DVD player were to interpret the track. Perhaps the trouble with setting DRC at 0 is that the audio loudness/softness adjustments aren't kicking in because anything to the power of 0 is 1. But if the DRC is set to 1, the compression factors "c" as described in the linked post are working correctly.

As you can tell, I might be a bit lost here. I would be very grateful for an explanation of DRC if I have it all wrong here.

No that is not what is going on since of course that function isn't *used* when DRC is 0.

Hi jbrjake,

Thank you for the clarification. jbrjake, it would be really cool if the MP3 LAME encoder were fixed for the Windows build of Handbrake. The FAAC encoder is often slammed around here as being poor in quality and Windows doesn't have an alternative AAC encoder. I tried looking for a codec vs. codec shootout of FAAC vs. other codecs, but I can't find one. Do you have a link that explains why people think this? I think the FAAC encoder is half decent for 2.0 encodes, but then again, I haven't heard what the CoreAudio encoder can do.

The MP3 LAME encoder is a very highly regarded encoder for audio, but it seems to be suffering this strange bug with the crackling sounds. I tried the DRC=1 workaround that Rodeo suggested and it worked for me. I did notice however that the explosions now seemed more muted in the MP3 2.0 encode compared to the FAAC 2.0 encode in VLC 1.0.5. Is that to be expected?

I very much appreciate all your hard work. Thank you for working on Handbrake.

Of course, you just reduced the dynamic range (the difference between loud and quiet).

HMM... That explains why the DRC=1 isn't a fix, but a workaround. I hadn't used the DRC feature until today. Thank you for the explanation. I hope the developers can find why this strangeness with the MP3 LAME encoder is happening.

I was looking into this problem further and wanted to mention in case others search for this problem, that the formal term for the distortion we are discussing in this thread is caused by the audio "clipping".

I loaded an extracted mp3 that exhibited the problem into the Audacity audio editor. Using the "Show Clipping" option I confirmed that the distortion we were hearing occurred whenever there were clipped samples. I extracted the original ac3 of the same audio that the extracted mp3 was derived from and used Foobar 1.0 to convert the file to a LAME mp3. I used the official Foobar ac3 component and the Foobar built in 5.1 to Stereo DSP The resulting mp3 audio file displayed the same clipped samples in Audacity BUT the distortion was not noticeable (no distinctive popping or crackling).

At this point I really believe that like randomreuben mentioned previously, the problem is the 5.1->2.0 Stereo processing.
