[MacDV] AC3 files quieter than AIFF files

[Brett Conlon]

Hiya,

I encoded a number of AIFF files to AC3 using Compressor for a DVD Studio 
Pro 4 project and when I replaced the AIF files with AC3 I noticed they 
were considerably quieter than the AIF files. I read the compressor manual 
(obviously I was desperate ;-) and it stated that using -31 normalization 
was the setting to use so that it doesn't alter the file's volume but the 
resulting files were still as quiet in comparison. I even tried a few 
tests, pushing that value up and right down and it made no difference.

For now I've gone ahead and encoded all my audio assets at -31 but thought 
someone in here may have a suggestion.

Cheers,

Cojcolds
