Normalising audio

[LiamC]

I have a number of source files that I want to normalise the audio for—some are too loud and some are too soft.

What I want to be able to do is either grab the lot (files) and find the loudest and softest and then adjust the audio on each DVD/MPEG2 file—preferably saving the DVD/MPEG2 file with the adjusted volume levels.

If I have to do it by ear, singly, so be it. What tools are there out there for this?

TIA.

There are lots of tools you could use for normalizing plain old audio files.
Unfortunately, we're not dealing with just audio.

Um...
I'm looking through the stuff I have (Vegas, DVD Workshop et al)and I'm not seeing anything useful.

I think your best bet is probably Virtualdub. Seems like these would be the folks to ask.

Of course, you run into something that still has AC3 in it and I think you're probably hosed regardless.

Thanks Merc. If worst comes to worst, I can always write something I guess.
