Making the audio louder in .avis

[lilkimkicks]

I don't know how to explain this..I hope the Subject was self-explanatory, but I'll rephrase it..
I have a movie on my computer and when I play, I have to crank my speaker volume all the way up because the volume of the video is so low. I didn't have to do that for my other videos.

So, is there a software to make the audio louder?
Thanks to whomever responds to this..

(BTW: Did I put this in the right forum??)

To increase volume of an already created .AVI:

Load it into VirtualDub (or any of its variants).
Set "Video" to "Direct Stream Copying".
Set "Audio" to "Full Processing Mode".

Under the "Audio" tab, select "Compression" - Put a checkmark next to "Show all formats". Select the same format, frequency, and sampling rate (e.g. MPEG3, 44,100Hz, 128Kbps) as the original .AVI.

Under the "Audio" tab, select "Volume" and increase to the desired percentage.

Save with a new filename

I did everything you did until the compression step. The audio format is MPEG Layer 3 and the bit rate is 127kbps..I went to the Mpeg Laver 3 menu but I couldn't find the number..

Can I do the same thing with divx movies?

"The audio format is MPEG Layer 3 and the bit rate is 127kbps..I went to the Mpeg Laver 3 menu but I couldn't find the number.. "

The indicated "127Kbps" is the same as 128Kbps
What choices are available for you under VirtualDub?




"Can I do the same thing with divx movies?"

Yes (DivX is merely one of several compression methods used to create .AVIs)...

I feel like a dumbbutt..

Ur -- The highest choice I saw was 56 kBit/s, 24000 Hz, Stereo ---- 7 kb/s

Did you install the Radium mp3 codec? http://www.riphelp.com/downloads/radium_codec.html

@setarip: the audio volume adjust in VDub works also for normalisation or just for overall volume increase/decrease?

[lilkimkicks]

Okay, I did all of the things and..I really can't tell the difference and the percentage is all the way up to 900's..

BTW: Thanks Qyd for the Codec!

If it's a normalisation problem, here's what I would do:
1. Using VirtualDub and WaveUp: Open the file in VDub, Audio-full processing mode (Compression-uncompresse PCM), save Wav (this will produce an uncompressed 1GB+ wav file; drag n drop the wav file over WaveUp.exe; back in VDub audio-Wav audio (load the proccessed wav) compression Mpeg 3 & bitrate, video direct stream copy, save avi.
2. Using VirtualDubMod and Besweet +GUI. Open avi in VDubMod, audio-demux audio; this will produce an mp3 file; load the mp3 file in BeSweetGUI, check boost/normalise, and save to mp3 or wav; in VDubMod audio-wav audio, load the file produced by BeSweet, compress to mp3, etc.
You can find all the software you need on this site.
