Mike, thanks for the links. I will update my doc.
About DTS and DTS/WAV:
See Alex B's posts on DTS encoded audio CD.
For .dts files, try the following (not sure which one myself):
DTSAC3Source
DTSWAVSource
The DTSWav Source plugin from Hypercubemx does work perfectly well on my system but for some reason MC won't play them internally. Instead, it launches MPC (which I have associated with the DTS, DTSWAV, and WAV extensions), and they play in there. The media type ends up listed as Data in MC. Changing it manually to Audio causes the files not to play. I also tried selecting the filter as the input plugin for DTS files in Options --> Playback --> DirectShow Settings but it had no effect.
Again, these same files play back fine using Media Player Classic and Windows Media Player on my system.
As I mentioned, I have a pile of DTS Wave files now from live Dead shows. I hadn't tried to do much with them until now, but I'd really like to be able to use these (with my working DTS DirectShow decoder filter -- not an external device) from within MC.
I think the DTS Wav filter is for decoding DTS streams embedded in a standard WAV file format, while the Gabest one is for AC3 files with DTS audio encoded. The DTS Wav filter page suggests you use the ".dtswav" extension for these files (though they are just wave files actually). As I mentioned, I tried using: dts, dtswav, and just wav as the extension though, and none worked in MC.
EDIT: If you want an example DTS Wav file, here's one of the Dead shows I'm talking about:
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=22184The files are compressed to FLAC. I simply used MC to convert the FLAC files to Uncompressed WAV.
I GOT IT TO WORK!But it took some doing. Here's how:
EDIT: I moved these instructions to the MC Wiki to make them easier to access. Read the instructions here:
http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/DTS_WAVThis is obviously not ideal. MC really should just handle the DTSWAV extension itself, and recognize them as Audio and I think all would be good. Also, you have to use the DTSWAV extension (lowercase is okay, of course), as opposed to plain WAV or DTS, which don't work. As it is, it's very difficult to import and get these files working.
Once you do though... It's very nice.
(Edited again to add info on configuring FFDSHOW.)
