Dolby Digital Latency
« on: September 22, 2017, 06:18:29 am »

This is correct. These are the two big features not currently working, which need to be rebuild since they relied on old things that can't be easily updated to 64-bit.

I hope the latency with dolby digital can be improved with the rebuid, it is now about 1 second(?)

Regarding a 64-bit version, that is great news, and good for the program, keep up the good work!

It'll work exactly the same way it does now.

I think you are mistaken.  If this was true everyone would be complaining about it.  One full second of latency would make watching movies a terrible experience.  Something else must be going on with your system.  Perhaps you can provide some details of what you are seeing and your system configuration.

You could have 10s latency, and movie playback would still be fine - because file-based playback can basically compensate for any latency, as long as you have enough memory to read ahead far enough.

Maybe I don't understand what Elvis is describing.  I figured that anyone reporting latency here would be saying that audio and video were out of sync by some amount.  Maybe he's describing something else.

You would notice if you use a live source, like WDM.

For me, Dolby Digital introduced about 150ms mismatch between audio and video when watching TV. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out running 64 bits.

Bingo. That is where my main problem with the latency lies. But anyway, thanks for the feedback, although not what i hoped, it is clear :)

Each AC3 frame represents over 30ms of sound. That by itself is enough for many people to notice lip sync issues. It's always likely to be problematic in a real-time playback chain.
