Description: # ffmpeg-normalize
        
        ffmpeg script for normalizing audio.
        
        This program normalizes media files to a certain dB level. The default
        is an RMS-based normalization where the mean is lifted or attenuated.
        Peak normalization is possible with the `-m` option. EBU R128
        normalization is possible with the `-b` option.
        
        It takes any audio or video file as input, and writes the audio part as
        output WAV file. The normalized audio can also be merged with the
        original.
        
        # Requirements
        
        -   Python
        -   ffmpeg from <http://ffmpeg.org/> installed in your \$PATH (3.x or
            above recommended)
        
        # Installation
        
            pip install ffmpeg-normalize
        
        # Usage
        
            ffmpeg-normalize [options] <input-file> ...
        
        # Options
        
        Normalization:
        
        - `-l`, `--level <level>`: dB level to normalize to [default: -26]
        - `-m`, `--max`: Normalize to the maximum (peak) volume instead of RMS
        - `-b`, `--ebu`: Normalize according to EBU R128 (ffmpeg `loudnorm` filter). Note that the sample rate of the input file will be changed, which some players do not support. If you want to set the sample rate to a normal value, use the `-e "-ar 44100"` option.
        - `-t`, `--threshold <threshold>`: dB threshold below which the audio will be not adjusted, set to 0 to always normalize file [default: 0.5]
        
        Encoding / Format:
        
        - `-a`, `--acodec <acodec>`: Set audio codec for ffmpeg (see `ffmpeg -encoders`) to use for output (will be chosen based on format, default pcm_s16le for WAV)
        - `-r`, `--format <format>`: Set format / file extension for ffmpeg (see `ffmpeg -formats`) to use for output file [default: `wav`]
        - `-e`, `--extra-options <extra-options>` Set extra options passed to ffmpeg (e.g. `-b:a 192k` to set audio bitrate)
        
        File Handling:
        
        - `-f`, `--force`: Force overwriting existing files
        - `-p`, `--prefix <prefix>`: Prefix for normalized files or output folder name [default: normalized]
        - `-x`, `--no-prefix`: Write output file without prefix (cannot be used when `--dir` is used)
        - `-o`, `--dir`: Create an output folder under the input file's directory with the prefix instead of prefixing the file (does not work if `--no-prefix` is chosen)
        - `-u`, `--merge`: Take original file's streams and merge the normalized audio. Note: This will not overwrite the input file, but output to `normalized-<input>`.
        
        General:
        
        - `-v`, `--verbose`: Enable verbose output
        - `-n`, `--dry-run`: Show what would be done, do not convert
        - `-d`, `--debug`: Show debug output
        
        # Examples
        
        Normalize a file and write to `normalized-file.wav`:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize -v file.mp3
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose *.avi
        
        Normalize a number of AVI files and write to
        `normalized-<file>.wav`:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize -v *.avi
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose *.avi
        
        Normalize a number of MP4 files to -5 dB peak volume and merge the audio
        stream back into the MP4 files, in a new directory called
        `normalized`:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize -vuofm -l -5 *.mp4
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose --merge --dir --force --max --level -5 *.mp4
        
        Normalize the input file and irrevocably overwrite it:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize -vuxf input.wav
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose --merge --no-prefix --force input.wav
        
        Normalize a number of MKV files and merge the audio back in using the
        `libfdk_aac` encoder with 192 kBit/s CBR:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize -vu -a libfdk_aac -e "-b:a 192k" *.mkv
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose --merge --acodec libfdk_aac --extra-options "-b:a 192k" *.mkv
        
        One user (@pannal) suggested this for an old series with bad sound mixing:
        
            ffmpeg-normalize --verbose --merge --force --acodec libfdk_aac --ebu \
            --extra-options "-threads 4 -b:a 224k -filter:a 'compand=0|0:1|1:-90/-900|-70/-70|-30/-9|0/-3:6:0:0:0'" *.mkv
