Code DVD volume? - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

When dvd's are played the volume is much lower. Can it be coded to force the dvd player to play it louder?

No but you can do what I do, I reburn the DVD movie using ConvertX to DVD software which allows you to boost the volume by 100%. Better to have copies in your car than the originals imo. The cause I'm told is the way the car audio system translates the 5.1 surround sound that most movies have. If the movie was in "stereo" you would find the volume was fine.

I wonder what would happen if a cop searched the car and saw bootlegs. Its a federal offense. Lol.

you are allowed to have backups for DVD's you legally own. Or is it different in the us ?

That is somewhat different and arguable. You're allowed to make a copy as a backup but unless you break the encryption, your backup is worthless. Good old DMCA.
