AVI file volume increase.

Does anyone know how to increase the volume on an AVI file?
Some of my ripped dvds are low volume and I would like to "louden" them up a bit.
cheers.

Depends on the type of audio as to how simple it is. For MP3 audio you can do it in virtualdub. Load the file, click on Audio->Full Processing, then click on Audio->Volume. adjusting it up by +6Db should double the current level. Just remember to set your compression type to MP3 and configure it before saving out the new video.

Or you could use virtualdubmod, demux the audio to an mp3 file, use mp3gain to change the audio without re-encoding it, then mux it back into the video again in place of the original.

I don't know of a simple way to do this for AC3 audio.

I used to have the same problem. Now I just use VirtualDubMod, as follows:

1. Open file to be modified.

2. Set Compression Speed of choice (I usually use Direct Stream Copy, for speed).

3. Click on Streams > Stream List

4. Right Click on the Speaker Icon - Top Left (You will notice at this point that the 'Volume' option is Greyed out).

5. Select Full Processing Mode (not to be confused with the one in stage 2)

6. Once again, select Streams > Stream List - The 'Volume' option is now available to select, so select it.

7. Check the Adjust Volume... box & adjust the slider to the Percentage volume Increase or Decrease you require.

8. OK the window.

9. Save your new *.AVI file with boosted volume.
