I think we covered that all DVDs are compressed, I personally do not see a problem in the method I proposed because you are compressing the audio to the same specs. All you doing really is boosting the volume. You do not put any date back to the file when decompressing, and not removing anything that was not removed the first time.

I will try it my way just to see how the audio turns out. I doubt that it will sound "horrible". In fact I expect it to sound much better than the original.

I am also sure it will not be allowed on the tracker, but I was not planning to seed it.

I thought about keeping the wav audio, but that would require a DVD9.
