The option to disable Disable Dolby dynamic range compression is ghosted in my prefs for Apple DVD player. I've tried switching the audio output setting from Internal speaker, to digital out and to my USB M-Audio MobilePre, and the option never comes to life.

Can I hack the prefs somehow if the app itself won't give me the choice? I'm so annoyed with how my movies' audio keeps dropping out right when it should be thundering for good scenes! Robbery!

OS X 10.4.9
Apple DVD Player 4.6.5

No idea, but VLC can do that.

Not smart-assing, because this was what got me: The DVD must be *stopped*, not paused.

Just stopped? Oh you're kidding me...

*checks*

YES! That did it. Thanks so much!
