You know Mike? that's a really good question! I honestly haven't tried. Now that I got Windows 7 reinstalled on my hp laptop, I'll be installing Itunes later tonight. When I do, I'll letcha know.
Never got your call by the way. No rush though.

I am curious, just from pure curiosity, how does iTunes and Windows handle the file? Michael Need a ripple code?

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.

Just a suggestion, oh yeah, and how is the audio using QuickLook, by pressing the on the file in the finder?

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! > > I suppose I could knock the thing into ProTools, and pop that level on the audio side of things up a bit, but that still! doesn't really resolve the problem in a whole.
