Normally it is not an encoding problem as FairUse does a good job with the Audio. I am assuming you were using TCPMP(betaplayer) to watch them. If that is the case one thing I have found is TCPMP has a option to use the "System Volume" or its own control. Give the wrong combo of volume slider positions this can cause either to low or to much volume. It is the only idea I can think of for your problem. I would also try another movie and do some testing to see if this was a freak deal or something more consistant. Good Luck~
PS - In TCPMP go Options-Settings-Advanced and check the box for "Use System Volume" if it is not already. That is where I keep mine. The other option is to uncheck that box and turn your System volume way up, then use the TCPMP slider to make it even louder.
