Disney's Atlantis - Sound is very soft on DVD-R

[MustISO2K]

This movie is causing me problems. All other DVD to DVD-R rips work perfectly.
I used DVDDecrypter to extract the entire DVD
Then I used IfoEdit to remove DD 2.0 and any extra languages
I tested the movie in IFOEdit and it worked fine
I opened the VIDEO_TS file in PowerDVD and it worked great, sound is fine
When I burn it with NERO 5.5.8.0 and play it in my toshiba player, the sound is very very soft. My receiever recognizes the sound track as Dolby Dig 5.1 but the sound is soft. Any ideas?

I think they did some things to the DVD before mastering. I have a Philips 711 and it would go in infinite loop on the junk before the main menu. After 2 months they came back, had me change the language to spanish then back to english & it plays fine.

They might have funky IFO coding or something. I never tried to rip it as I own the disc.

I really don't know what it is. It's not like I even want it that bad anymore but it's more for informational purposes. It looks like a standard rip but something makes the sound low on DVD players but not on a PC DVD-ROM. Actually, come to think of it I never played the actual DVD-R on my computer, just the DVD files. Maybe something happens once it's burnt.

I don't know, but I would guess...

You need to check to see how the DVD-R plays on your PC, as you suggested. If it plays fine, the problem is something in the way your standalone DVD player reads that particular disc. Probably not much you can do about it, since you said your other DVD-R rips work fine. [NOTE: This assumes of course that your television, stereo and all were set up properly, right? No one hit that pesky little MONITOR button by mistake, did they?]

Of course, if it doesn't play on your PC, there may have been some switch in Nero that needs to be toggled another way. I have always been wary of programs that automatically equalize audio for you. Check to see if some sort of setting in Nero, or any of your other software, is doing something like that. Maybe the solution is right in front of you, but behind a brick wall.

I'm going to try some other stuff before I give it a try again. Unfortunately I threw out the DVD-R so I can't see how it worked on my DVD-ROM drive. Silly me. I'm doing a few movies tonight and I'll check all of those before going back to Atlantis.
