Quoting this old message...

Carl Eugen mentioned a discussion you had with kierank on #ffmpeg-devel
two days ago:
http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel-irc/2013-February/001215.html

I still like the idea of MEncoder's volnorm filter very much. Even in
one pass encoding MEncoder adjusts the volume to an acceptable level (in
my case it mostly gains volume). Would such a thing be possible with
ebur128 and metadata injection?

kierank was talking about filtering in realtime. I am looking for one
pass encoding, which looks pretty much the same. My current setup is as
follows:
1. I encode several video fragments to MP4 files (x264/aac)
2. Then I use MP4Box to concatenate these files into 1 video
This setup works fine (and speedy), but MEncoder has issues that make a
switch to FFMpeg desirable:

Can you give me some pointers on how I should be doing this?
