modify audio volume of video file?
Hi,
I want to take an existing video file and modify just the volume of that file. I don't want expensive editing or overly powerful editing tools, I just want to change the volume.
What simple (and hopefully free) software would allow me to do that? My files will most likely be mp4, mov and mpeg.
If that does not exist, then I would like to be able to strip off the audio (I can modify it in Audacity) and reattach it to the video. The first method is preferred, though.
Thanks!

This looks interesting, thank you.
I may need to clarify. I don't want to change the volume of the whole track, but rather there are places within the file that I want to adjust. For example, let's say there was a loud explosion and I just wanted to lower the volume for a couple of seconds and then return the volume to normal. Another example, let's say someone used a bad word and I wanted to silence it out.
Can I do that with Movie Maker or what else could I use? (I'm on Windows)
Thanks!
