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.
