No it does not. "Momentary max" did not fit in the line w/o line break
in my mailer :)

Thanks for the clarification. So let me correct that:

The Great dictator DVD has an
 Integrated Loudness of 4.1 LU, Loudness Range 19.1 LU.

and 'Music for one appart. and 6 drummers' from you-tube:
 Integrated Loudness:  12.9 LU, Loudness Range 11.3 LU

Both are already normalized to 0 dbFS.


Checking some more, revealed that you-tube does not actually normalize
audio volume automatically: e.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJMEvDu0K2E peaks at -16.5 dbFS
 Integrated Loudness: -1.7 LU, Loudness Range 9.9 LU
