When people rip or capture AV, can you please check your sound levels.
So many movies are at such a low volume they aren't worth watching or blowing up your amp at full volume.
For me, I have all my sound volumes at 75%, then I amp them with the master volume level, that way your not amplifying already distorted sound.

DVD ripping.
This is extremely common in downloaded rips. Not sure exactly why, but think it has a bit to do with the automated programs they ause and lack of quality control.
Certainly, I don't see any reason why the end-user should need to over-amplify like crazy to make up for the deficiency of the rip.
One time I made the mistake of having IM running in the background while watching a movie. Ever have your ears shattered by ICQ sounding "UH OH!" at 300% volume?
If it's a real problem then it should not be too hard to demultiplex the A/V stream, edit the audio portion, then remux it again.

Hey guys, perhaps another explaination....
I found the same thing, but noted it was usually an xvid formatted rip.
Turns out some audio codec I downloaded ages ago has a volume control, and by default it was set very low.
In my control panel there is an applet called 'AC3Filter'
The AC3 properties dialog has a bunch of controls for volume / gain, there is even a mixer and EQ, so you can really tweak it.
I just bumped up the gain a little and now all the .avi's play ok. theres a bunch of settings that'll work.
I can't tell you the name of the codec that installed that applet, but i'd guess if you haven't installed it, then your prolly not having the same problem. (think i might found the codec here someplace, http://forum.digital-digest.com/)
On another machine here there is a similiar settings dialog in the start menu, for another codec altogether....
