Dynamic Compression
Dynamic Compression constrains the dynamic range, i.e. the
difference between the quietest and loudest passages of a DVD
soundtrack. This enables you to limit loud noises, such as
explosions, or raise the volume of quiet passages, such as
whispering, while watching a movie. This is convenient for viewing
movies late at night.
