This usually is defaulted to maximum. Try (on a Mac, anyway) setting the volume to something other than maximum using MoviePlayer and re-save the movie. The next time you open it, your new volume setting will be in effect. If this works on the PC, I'd like to know about it. Of course this isn't much use if your movies are all on CD-ROM. :( Michael Twitty
