Boosting the volume of videos.

[DML1001]

I need a program that will extract the audio track from a movie, increase the volume, and replace the movie's audio track with the new louder one.

I have a lot of avis from various places, and some of them have such low audio that even with my volume maxed out in windows, and speakers set to the max, I can barely hear anything at all.

Whats the best way to increase the volume of a movie?

c'mon, no one knows?

You can use TMPGEnc to extract the audio from the movie, then use GoldWave or another audio editor to boost its volume, and then put it all back together again with TMGEnc.

Thanks for the reply, but I can't get TMPGEnc to deal with .avi files, and it does not seem able to deal with many audio formats either (a lot of video files I have are in AC3)

Does anyone know of a program that can rip the audio stream from just about any video file, regardless of format?

Have you tried Vidome? I don't recommend the current version. I think the previous version will do what you want. I had the same problem. On XP I went to accessories, entertainment, volume control, options and checked all the boxes. I think it was "line in" that was very low. I raised the level and bingo, it upped the sound like it's supposed to be.

Also, you can get a small amp from radio shack for $9.

Best,

Pretty sure you can apply a gain conversion filter to the audio stream in VirtualDub.

Then select 'Direct Stream Copy' for the video -> Save As, and away you go.

It may require you to export the audio as wav first, then select 'Audio -> WAV Audio...'.

Not sure though. Haven't really messed with this specifically.
