Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - GUIDE: How To Properly Encode Dolby Digital Audio (AC3)

So I've heard there are some gain markers in the AC3 that tell how to do dynamic range compression when decoding. Then you can either do it or not. I asume ACID does not encode these markers, it's just compressing the raw tracks, right? Now if I don't compress, is there a filter that I can compress with on playback that will use the same -31 db standard and that do as good a job as besweet? Why compress if you can leave it optional?
