  RE: Mixing audio for YouTube, DVD and MP4 File Playback
  Thanks JohnEB and CubeAce, Yes, it’s not actually a clipping problem, more a speaker 'rattling' or 'booming' problem, where no clipping at all is occurring. It does not at all occur when peaks are kept below -6dB. (And thanks for proper compression

  Mixing audio for YouTube, DVD and MP4 File Playback
  I’ve always mixed DVDs at Peak of -6dB to avoid distortion in TVs (even Flat Screens). And I do mix loud for YouTube, leaving headroom of -.5dB. What to do, though, with 'video files' (MP4) that will play into TVs from USB flash drives, or from DVD
