Making Windows Media Videos louder?

September 30, 2005 1:33 PM

Is there any fast way to raise the audio level on 20-30 .wmv files?

I edited a box of rather long videos for a client, and upon delivery was told that the audio needs to come up. Apart from raising the audio on the original and rendering to Windows Media again, is there a program or other solution which will systematically change audio level on multiple files? Thanks!

Sony's SoundForge (I've only used 8.0) has a batch converter in the tools section that lets you modify a group of files all at once. I looked and it does support .wmv files.

Oh, I should note that I haven't ever used it for .wmv files so I can't vouch for how it would turn out.

Best answer: If your question is "Can I do this without re-encoding the audio", then the answer is no. Any solution will have to decode, amplify, and then re-encode.
