Open the AVI with virtualdub. Under audio select "full processing mode." There is a volume menu under there that will increase or decrease the volume. Tried that yet?

[vamp1re]

yup tried that but makes the file turn out to be 1.3 gig

[ghoster]

well dose that make the volume louder if so have you tried to reencode it to a smaller size? like to mpeg.

[vamp1re]

yup makes the sound louder but if i encode to mpeg (which i persoanlly dislike ) the quality turns to shit...

When you upped the volume, did you compress it too? If you just up the volume in full processing mode, I think virtualdub increases the volume, but writes in the track uncompressed hence the huge size increase.

Adjusting the volume has no affect the size of the file. As Sicamous suggested, you probably saved the file without checking the compression options.

what compression should i use fpr the audio using virtual dub?

[mdm]

Whichever one you would like that works on your system. If you will only be watching the video on a computer, you might as well use MP3. If the video is using a Divx codec, you could also use a Divx WMA codec (if you have that on your system).

mm..when i try that i use direct stream copy for the video and the wma 2 compression for the audio...the file still comes out to 1.3 gig..

or if i try using wma 1 it comes up unable to use that compression (or something to that effect)
