How to Play VOB Format Files on Mac Easily Thanks a lot for this explanation, David! This really sheds some light into the dark. If your Director wants to see the mix without DRC, he has to set his player accoringly (and, btw, has to watch it in 5.1, because in Stereo there will always be some compression, because the Downmix can cause a Level-increase.)Īnother workaround is a QT with PCM-Audio, or a Blu-Ray with PCM 5.1 This is not just an Apple DVD-Player special, you will encounter this RF-Mode on many players. This sounds very bad, as you can expect.Īs was written before: You HAVE to set the DialNorm correctly, and should always select a profile like "Film Light" or "Film Standard", to make shure, your DVD works on all Systems, also on RF-Mode systems. All that is left, is a "last rescue" Limiter, which kicks in at around -11dB in RF-Mode (to prevent clipping of the +11dB gained signal). And any Digital-Overs (=clippings) that might occur, will be handled by the compression+limiting of the DRC.īut if you set the DialNorm incorrectly, and select the Compression-Profile "None", during encoding, then there is no "normal DRC-compression". What this mode does: It increases the output-signal by 11dB. The ones that have issues with DRC are the ones that have insufficient or missing metadata (Dialnorm value + profile).Īpple DVD-Player (like many other Players out there, like Win-DVD or even Sonys Playstation) works by default in the so called RF-Mode. I've compared many Dolby Digital soundtracks from different sources. So it is a good idea from Apple that they've chosen the DRC setting on for default. In most cases where Apples OS X DVD Player is used, the sound is played through the tiny built-in speakers. Your client should leave the DRC feature on for every decoder which isn't connected to a good speaker system which can handle high dynamic ranges. If you don't choose a matching DRC profile then the decoder will choose for you. You can get documents from Dolbys website or your consultant which explain the profiles and the whole DRC thing very well.

If you did an other kind of mix then make your self familiar with the different compression profiles so you can choose the one that fits your mix best. If it's a cinema/dvd mix with high dynamic then the compression profile should be set to Film Standard. The compressor and limiter in the Dolby decoder are only working as expected if the dialnorm value is set right. To get Dolby Dialnorm and DRC working properly you just have to measure the dialnorm value correctly. In most cases this is what the client and the viewers expect. If your client asked you to do a standard cinema/dvd mix then there is no problem when it contains differences in volume (high dynamic range). But I can't imagine that it is supposed to cause sudden volume drops of about 6-10dB. I'm aware of the "Dynamic Range Control" every DVD-Player has built in nowadays.

Shouldn't the settings I chose when creating the AC3 prevent Dolby DRC from doing stuff to my mix?Īnd if these settings are wrong, which settings can I use, to make sure, that every DVD player plays my mix as it is, without doing unspeakable things to it? What conehead at Apple decided to set this madness invoking function to be active by default?Ģ. Well, as it turned out, my client used Apple DVD Player, and he didn't know about the setting "Disable Dolby DRC", that is hidden in the settings, and by default set to ACTIVE.ġ. I couldn't believe it, since I checked the DVD prior to sending it out, using VLC Media Player. He called today, uttering that there are giant volume jumps in the mix.

Then I authored a DVD using DVD Studio Pro and sent the DVD to the client. I used Compressor to create an AC3-stream of the 5.1-mix, using the settings our dolby consultant once advised me to use: My client wanted to have a screener of the final mix on DVD to make notes. I was mixing the dubbing version of a feature film the other day.
