W64 Directshow Decoder

[ACrowley]

I cant find a Directshow based W64 Decoder for Windows ?

You you tell me if theres a Decoder avaibele? Cant find any

To the best of my knowledge,
there is no DS filter for W64, RF64, or even BWF. :(

But in my NSHO, the worst part is,
we are in 2010 already, and there is
no "universal standard for speaker assignment in multichannel audio" yet. :mad:

So, I can create a WAV file for, let's say,
front-center ++ side-left ++ side-right ++ back-center,
however,
¿ how many audio codecs would support such an "insane" channel layout ?

And no, I don't think the "wave_format_extensible" model is sufficiently well-designed neither

{
"FRONT_LEFT_OF_CENTER"

and

"FRONT_RIGHT_OF_CENTER" ...

what the heck ???
}

Oh, it works fine via Avsiynth import with NicAudio/RaWavSource.

Perhaps ffdshow audio decoder with uncompressed codecs enabled works. But I have no source to test it ;) .

Sorry ACrowley, I don't understand your post.

Yes, RaWavSource (included in NicAudio.dll v2.x) support:
raw and uncompressed formats: WAV, WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE, W64, BWF, RF64, AU, AIFF and CAF

Edit:
ffdshow don't support w64

Sorry ACrowley, I don't understand your post.

Me neither. :devil:
Until someone takes the time to write a (¡ decent !) replacement for Microsoft's default «WAV parser», there will be no "direct playback" for BWF, RF64 and W64 files in WMP or MPC...

OK, Winamp supports W64 files,
but again,
it doesn't depend on DirectShow.

EDIT:

Not an actual solution, but it's possible to overcome the infamous
"4GB filesize barrier" by using the CLI application WavAviMux.exe,
which creates audio-only .AVI :devil: files.

My Encoder App /Mainconcept Reference 2.0 or Carbon Coder)cant import mono waves. And 4gb + is a Problem because the App detects the Runtime wrong an drops the Rest of the Wav. So i thought W64 could work..but its the same.

However, now i import interleaved Multichannel Wavs through Avisynth with Nicaudio/RaWavSource.
But FLAC Import works too via Directshow Import and madflac decoder

ofcourse wavavimux.exe is a Option too
