Tool to Find Peak Audio Levels of AVI and MPEG files

[Deluge]

Is there a tool available that simply analyzes an AVI or MPG and displays the peak audio levels? Most of the AVI files I work with use PCM/WAV audio and the MPEG2 files use MPEG audio.

If you have Avisynth, get the Soundout plugin.

Then use an AVS file like:

DirectShowSource("file.xyz")
Soundout()

to load the file.

The Soundout panel will pop up.
Click "Analyze sound" and you will get a report like:

Analyzed 100%.

[Ch 0] Maximum:0.05dB. Average:-23.33dB. RMS:-17.67dB. ReplayGain:-4.19dB
[Ch 1] Maximum:0.04dB. Average:-22.29dB. RMS:-16.32dB. ReplayGain:-5.78dB

[All channels] Maximum:0.05dB. Average:-22.79dB. RMS:-16.95dB

Thank you, that works well. A little more work than I was hoping for, but it works . And I'm not sure if you put the backslashes in just for the example, but I had to remove them for it to work.

DirectShowSource("file.xyz")
Soundout()

No, it shouldn't have had backslashes. There was a glitch in the forum software that put them in (really).
Glad you worked it out.

I didn't think you would try it straight away, if ever; usually if I recommend a simple script people act as if I've asked them to try colonic irrigation.

But once you have installed it all it's fairly simple to do. (Avisynth, not the colonic.)
