SmartRipper + Maestro = Very low sound level(AC3) ???

[rmd3003]

That's weird. I rip movie only with DD5.1 sound. Then I author using Maestro and burn using Nero. Everything is OK, but sound level. It's very low. I have to bump up volume on my TV a lot to hear anything. What am I doing wrong?

The real question is how are you playing back the DVD. In DD5.1 most of the sound is in the center channel. Depending on what equipment you are using to playback the sound you might be better off with the DD2 channel sound track or using a full 5.1 decoding and speaker system. If you are using the sound outputs from your PC, and your PC supports 5.1 decoding, be sure you have a center channel speaker connected and not just the usual L & R speakers or all the dialog will be coming out of the speaker you don't have hooked up.
