I agree too about the confusion.

But, at least in PowerDVD and the Azid decoder, "Normal" mean apply the attenuation (DRC) present in the ac3 stream.

"Quiet" or "None" mean don't apply at all DRC, preserving the full dynamic range.

"Half", "Heavy", ... mean apply a part or more than the DRC calculated at encoder time and present in the ac3 stream.
