I found one other topic related to my issue, but the solution didn't fix my problem. The sound effects and music is at a normal level on my rips, but the dialogue is much lower. I have to turn the volume up for dialogue and back down during high volume action scenes. Obviously this is pretty annoying. I tried setting my DRC setting to 2.0 on Track 1 (per some advice to another user), but this has not seemed to fix the issue.
I'm using an Intel iMac with Handbrake 0.9.3, and the movie I'm submitting the code for is Curious George. I have many others that are giving me this problem. I'm playing the movies on my AppleTV, using Optical cable into a home theater system (3.1, no surround speakers).
Any help on getting my sound normal would be GREATLY appreciated!
