Extremely large MPG video collection, how to fix sound volumes?

[redrumloa]

Hey people. One of my hobbies is collecting music videos, I have roughly ~1000 atm(mostly heavy metal). The problem is they are all from different sources. Some are recorded with my video card, others rips from my DVDs & VHS, some downloads etc. You get the idea. The problem is there is no set volume, it varies VERY wildly. If I set up to play in random rotation i may turn up the volume for a song, walk away, and a minute later my speakers are being blown from a louder mpg:-(

I figure there MUST be a simple tool to feed a load of MPG vidoes, and it will standardise the audio level? Preferably one I can set to do a whole folder, and just walk away. Any ideas? Wintendo, *nix or even *miga. :-?

A hard way to do it, but you can use Virtualdub to split the audio and the video, and then you any standard sound-editing app. to normalise.

Not familiar with this program, will it split only one at a time? Will the output files have the same name as the input files?
