I'd post this in Software, but I figured there's likely to be more audio geeks hanging around here specifically...

What's the deal with automatic gain in OSX DVD Player? I can't stand it. If I'm watching a movie and something LOUD and SHOCKING happens, the levels clamp down on it. Then they take a second or so to come back up to normal. It's very annoying and reminds me of a cheap, badly adjusted audio compressor.

I seem to see the same thing on commercial standalone DVD players, and I really do NOT like this trend. Is this junk actually a widespread 'feature' of DVD?

I seem to remember using "Enable Line Mode" in older versions of DVD Player to settle this, but that option is gone in OSX. Anyone have a workaround?

Thanks
Greg
