Audio problems with XVid Movies

[avj10]

I'm sure this question has been asked often, but I searched and couldn't find the answer I was looking for. Basically whenever I play Xvid files on my computer, the volume for any background music in the movie is loud but the volume for the dialogue is so quiet that you can barely hear it. I've installed ffdshow and the AC3 codec seperately. I'm not sure if there is something else i need to get. Thanks for any help.

I have the exact same problem. The XviD file i have sounds amazing, the effects are really good since the audio is encoded in AC3, 6ch. But when i decompress the audio, and encode the avi using TMPGEnc, the effects still sound just as good on my VCD player, but the dialogue is barely audible. Its almost impossible to hear what they are saying. Is there any guide or a way to boost the volume without damaging the quality of the sound too much?

That is entirely XviD unrelated. XviD is a video codec. It's how your computer downmixes the 5.1 AC3 audio (I guess) in the AVI. Try something like HeadAC3he to decode AC3 to wav.
