I was going to post the same question but found yours to be similar if not identical, and very recent.
I am trying to enhance audio in videos taken as .mov files.
I have figured out a lot of things like downloading .mp4, extracting audio by converting, and extracting sections of audio and IIRC video by transcoding , all in VLC.
I am trying to save through whatever process will accomplish it, either a video file or just the audio portion with 'processing' via the Tools/Effects & Filters.
i use Media Convert/Save with either . mov or. .mp4 files previously transcoded. I run VLC 2.1.4
on an Ubuntu Studio laptop that won't connect to WLAN so I can't update, or same, possibly updated on a 'connected' desktop.
What happens on both PC's is the converted to mp4 results have audio that is just loud pulsing noise.
If I simply play video or audio in VLC, I find the Effects/filters for both audio and video very satisfactory but wish to keep a copy with the effects retained.
Not figuring this out, I have been using MPEGStreamclip under Windows XP, but really want to figure it out in VLC as it is easier to obtain desired results thus far only being 'local' playback and not saved files.
I tried media streaming also, but it seems to begin processing much sooner in the GUI command sequence, making it apparent the Effects/Filters need to be pre-enabled before initiating the streaming or convert/save process.
I have found enabling/disabling the E/F to be easy when converting/saving but the results are unusable. I have not found access to the E/F switches before starting the streaming final step but gather from searching forums that convert is the way to do this.
I'm not really providing you a solution, but possibly you can compare the steps you have attempted and maybe interpret the settings differently, or you will end ip at the same point and someone else can straighten us out.
I got a box telling me to only post windows specific things here, but I think it doesn't matter what platform, and thus is where I found your post.
