    I have a video that I ripped off of YouTube that I plan on using for a presentation in one of my classes. I tested the video last week, and even with the volume at the highest on the projection system, you can slightly hear it from the computer up front. Any adjustments will be an improvement.

    I tried a program called VirtualDubMod, and upped to audio volume percentage from 100% to 500% successfully. It sounds great on both my desktop, and laptop. However, regardless of the percentage, the program turns my 90MB .avi file into a 3.2GB .avi file. :eek:

    The only way to burn an ISO DVD of that size would be to burn it as a UDF, which I'm not even sure if the school's computer will recognize that. Nero limits the actual video file size to 2GB when burning an ISO disc.

    Any other ideas?

    Windows Movie Maker. You can increase the audio on the track, but I don't know if it can do 500% without distortion. But it can't hurt to give it a try.

    I barely messed around with it once I saw the huge increase in file size, so 500% was just a guess. :p

    I'll give WMM a try. Thanks.

    Hi Crono139,
    Have you tried playing the original .AVI file in WinAMP?
    WinAMP's eq has a preamp function which will boost the volume level of any media file it supports.

    It's worth a try... ;)

    WMM fails when try to load the video file.

    I'm going to try Winamp right now.
