Hi,
do sb know how to check which level of volume has a specific file ?

I sat the volume of a file up, but I don't remember which volume value I putted to the latter. I kept the original file (that file I never touched the volume) and I would like to add the same volume level

I changed the volume level like this:
>streams >full processing mode >volume
>save (2 pass)

thks

At my opinion, the most easy way to know what is the volume level of the audio file in the video-file is to save it from within VirtualDub.
Set the Audio-menu to Full processing and set the Audio-menu > Compression to "No compression".
Then save the audio, via the File-menu > Save WAV... or via the File-menu > Export > Raw Audio...
After that, open it with a sound editor (like for example Audacity).
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

When the audio-file is opened in the audio editor, you can see the "wave" (mostly "two" waves, because it is stereo), and you will be able to verify "visually" the level of the volume. By first selecting the whole wave (Edit > Select All) you can then amplify or lower down the volume level at your wish, via Effect > Amplify...
You can also opt for Effect > Normalise..., but this manner of working only takes into account the "peaks" of the sound and not the average.

In fact, to answer the question, you will have to visuallly compare the two audio-files, the original with the final one.
