Handbrake sound problems

I'm finding that when ripping DVD's that the sound on my ripped video is not as loud as the original DVD, making it difficult to hear the ripped version when viewing on my computer. Is there a functionality within Handbrake(or iTunes)to make the ripped video play louder?

I am aware of hitting "Get Info" on my content within iTunes and moving the audio slider to max - but it doesn't seem to make any difference in the actual volume output.

Thanks

I would ask this in the Handbrake forums vice here. It's a touchy subject here and may border on a forum violation to discuss.
