Amplifying audio in a video

Hi there. I have a flip camcorder and I notice that when I record with it, the audio is not as great as you might want it to be. Is there some way to get the audio on it to be louder using some piece of software or something?

How can I make the audio louder so if I put the video on youtube it will sound better?

I presume your flip camcorder records to mpeg4.
Audacity is a free and easy to use program to edit audio.

Any camera has an inbuilt mic, if the recording volume is very low first check the manual if there is any settings to increase the volume in the recording, dont be too far away from your subject since it records in mono if using the older version
these have  automatic gain, digital zoom, monaural sound< not stereo
There is several versions to this flip camcorder, which do you have?
Mino HD or Ultra HD
the newer versions offer 2 microphones for stereo. Hense increasing your sound volume I dare say

All Flip camcorders record at 1280 x 720 resolution using H.264 video compression, AAC audio compression and the MP4 file format as of September 20, 2010

You could play the clip and capture it with increased volume
Try VLC it is priceless for all the inbuilt tools it supports,  play and records  / converts http://www.videohelp.com/tools/VLC_media_player
