As I said Mike, it's really quiet with Quick Look.
You do have a very valid point though with the audio decoders in VLC, although,
explain this to me: why then does WinAmp as well as Windows Media Player both
on Windows play it fine, and why does Real One on windows play it fine, and on
the mac, Real Player plays it perfectly as well. Even Movie Player on my Vinux
system plays it fine, and VLC, though not by any means my prefered player in
Linux plays it fine as well. I think even Flip4Mac Pro played it at correct
volume.
BTW, I'd rather not discuss it on list, for obvious reasons of it being totally
off topic, but can you give me a call on my cell when you get a second? Ben
and I have gotta quick question for ya, and your phone's saying it's out of
service when we call it.
Chris.

Subject: Re: Extremely! bizarre behavior with ITunes
Chris,
Another thing you may want to consider aside from what Ricardo suggested,
related to the level of iTunes volume, is potential lead the way that the video
was encoded, I don't know much about video encoding, but I'm sure that VLC has
alternative decoders, that may be able to handle the audio better than iTunes.
i personally never use iTunes for video watching, and always have VLC on hand
if I need to watch a video. Just a suggestion, oh yeah, and how is the audio
using QuickLook, by pressing the on the file in the finder?

Hi,
is iTunes volume turned up as well as system volume? iTunes volume can be
adjusted by command up and down arrow.

guilty as charged, this is driving me nuts! I can't faddum this at all! So
here's the situation I'm facing. I have an MP4 video file of Rescue 9 1 1
which I downloaded. due to legality reasons, I'm not gonna reveal from where,
but the bottom line is, if I play the file in VLC, I can crank the level way up
and get it to almost a comfortable level, but if I bring up the video on either
ITunes, Quicktime, Quicklook, or my Apple TV 3rd generation and try playing it,
the picture quality is perfectly fine, but the audio level is extremely! and I
do mean, extremely! quiet! Even turning off Itune's audio enhancer isn't
helping. No, I do not have sound check enabled. It's totally weird! as I can
crank it way up in vlc, and it sounds great! but if I put it through Itunes,
even turned all the way up, it's only about literally! 35 to 40 percent as loud
as it was in VLC. This is totally! crazy! I can't even for the remote life a
me! put any logic together of why on earth it's doing this!
