One of the methods I use for capturing video results in rather low
volume audio. I've tried fixing it at source without avail but using
the excellent VideoReDo editor I can save the files out as .MPV and
.MPA so what I need to do is "normalize" (i.e. bring the volume up to
a respectable level) the audio, then recombine the two files without
recompressing them.

(If it matters, the method I'm referring to is recording from Telewest
PACE DI2000T cable TV box via ATI AIW 9000 Pro with the audio fed to
line-in of a Creative SB Live! Value sound card. I'm using the current
ATI software, but have tried others too.)

The key to quality sound is getting levels right at every stage, not
making a bad recording then trying to fix it :-) If you have to
interface different audio sources to your computer, a small audio
mixer is an essential tool. Your local techno-music shop will be
able to show you some very affordable units. Behringer is a name to
look for.
