Hypercube Trasncoder 3 released

[hypercube]

what's new in this release:

- DirecShow Filter support

- 6 RAW PCM as output

With this tools you can now transcode various format into
Mpeg Multichannel or 6 RAW PCM files:

- AC3
- DTS ;)
- VOB
- ...

(some filters are required to do this, see my transcoding guides)

http://hypercube.is.dreaming.org

WARNING:
HT3 scan all filters in your system. If one is wrong, buggy or
protected, HT3 can crash. Contact me for help.
(you will have to unregister the buggy DirectShow Filter)

NOTE:
HT3 accept only 48Khz as input for instance. sorry.
I will put 44.100 Khz as soon as possible.

[davidwk]

Since mine crashed on loading (of course;) ), can HT3 reveal which filter tripped it up and made it crash?

Thanks (looks like a great tool if I can get it to start!)

[hypercube]

HT3 analyse ALL filters in your system. One of them is buggy.
in the install directory, you will find a file named "FilterList.txt"
read the last line of it. it was the buggy filter.
(normally "FilterList.txt" is removed after filter scanning).

for example, this filter can be "Audio Source".

Now you have two method to unregister this filter:

1. Use DxMAN

http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/dxman.htm

2. Do it yourself with regedit

run regedit.exe, go in the node
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID
search the string "Audio Source".
note the CLSID:, for example {E436EBB5-524F-11CE-9F53-0020AF0BA770}
then search this one in the previous node.
you will find another node, with a child named "InprocServer32"
the node "Inproceserver32" containt the Path to the DLL or AX file of the filter.

now tape "regsvr32.exe /U <filterpath>" to desactivate the filter.
you can activate the filter with "regsvr32.exe <filterpath>"

FINALLY! :D :D :D

decode DTS - best program since virtualdub!

but there's one big con: i have to install flashget to download hypercube... can't anyone mirror that? PLEASE! i don't want to spyware-infest my system.

hm... stupid me - opera has built in resume - i just have to use it! but still: for people not as fortunate as me and not using opera a mirror would still be great.

[kempfand]

@ hypercube:

This is really exciting ! Can't wait to get home from work and try the DTS to raw PCM transcode.

The 44.100 kHz input would be very desirable (I know that the InterVideo Audio deccoder works for sure, as I use it to play 44.1 kHz DTS CD-R's through it).

Many thanks for this great software.

Andreas

[m4551m0]

Nice piece of software!INDEED!
Although it crashes.
I tried to disable the last filter in the FilterList.txt, via dxman,
and it worked the program loads perfectly, but when I try to open ac3 or dts files it crashes again.
Any ideas????

[hypercube]

decode DTS - best program since virtualdub!
wow. thanks. :p

I tried to disable the last filter in the FilterList.txt, via dxman, and it worked the program loads perfectly, but when I try to open ac3 or dts files it crashes again
do you have graphedit.exe ? could you tell me the graph layout produced by graphedit when you render theses files ?
(and full path and filenames)

[m4551m0]

hypercube
here some new tests
you really gave me some good inputs in using graphedit.
Now everything is working.

I tried another .ac3 files, (first chapter from fast and furious movie), found on my hd ripped

sometimes ago with dvddecrypter, (IFO/stream processing/demux).

I opened it with hypercube trancoder and it worked as a charm this time!
Trancoded the file in 6 raw files, open with cool edit and get from them 6 mono .wav :-)
I tried to render the same file via graphedit and of course it worked

here's the .xml file

<GRAPH version="1.0">

</GRAPH>



as you can see it used the the ac3parser and the ac3 filter( by Vigovsky Alexander).

The previuos file i tested today (ripped with thesame method dvddecrypter,IFO/stream processing/demux

by chapter) keeps crashing in both graphedit and hypercube trancoder, although the file is playable

in many players, powerdvd, windvd and also in media player classic by gabest and windows media

player!?! :confused: (so I can't send you any graph layout). Maybe a corrupted file???
Since I open it with dvd maestro and during the parsing maestro reported some problem with the last

frame.

As far as regarding the dts file, i donloaded from doom9 and registered the avi2ac3dts.ax and

dtssource.ax via a .bat file
regsvr32 /s avi2ac3dts.ax
regsvr32 /s dtssource.ax


Before registering those 2 files i had no luck to render the dts file with graphedit.
The nvidia audio filter had priority in my machine so I unregistered nvidia codec and gave priority
to the intervideo audio filter.
Now i can trancode dts files too!!!

here's the .xml file from graph edit

<GRAPH version="1.0">
<FILTER ID="Default_DirectSound_Device" clsid="{79376820-07D0-11CF-A24D-0020AFD79767}">

GREAT, NOW WE CAN TRANSCODE DTS!!!


One more thing when the program loads during the gathering filters information it looks for a vxf

file?!? what is it?
and what i must give it?

<Edit>Mirror Removed. I respect it if you don't want it to be mirrored.</edit>

[hypercube]

@frodoontop

hey, I don't want this ! :mad:
There is absolutly no problem to download my tool
IF YOU USE A DOWNLOAD MANAGER with HTTP restart.
- GetRight
- Flashget
- Gozilla
- ReGet
- ...
http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Shareware/Windows/Internet/Download_Managers/?il=1

I worked hard to make my download.php script, so please
respect my work. do not mirroring for instance.

@m4551m0
try "Native Processing" with your AC3, it use Azid API, maybe
you will be mutch lucky.



The nvidia audio filter had priority in my machine so I unregistered nvidia codec and gave priority

you can also remove nvidia codec from the graph with the HT3 GUI, and replace it by Intervideo codec.

I think your buggy stream is not decrypted with DeCss. this is why
it crash.

[zyrill]

hi hypercube,

can you please explain why you don't want your file mirrored? look at all the files hosted at doom9.org - everybody know exactly who the author is and there is no confusion about the credits. and then: getright, flashget, gozilla and what else they might be called are SHIT! i don't know about you but i HATE spyware! and i just can't understand why you don't want people helping you out? who gives a shit about where a file is hosted (as long as you can normally download it - which is not the case with your isp)?
and then something else: first you ignore my post asking for assistance and then when i managed to download the transcoder without your help and try together with frodo to help others out, you're pissed off? what kind of logic is in that? oh and then another issue with your manners: why can't you just ask frodo politely to remove his mirror? "hey, I don't want this!" is a rather rude attempt, don't you think? he didn't do it to annoy you he meant well and was trying to help you!

[frank]

I must agree to zyrill.
These shitty download managers are a pain in the ass!

[hypercube]

can you please explain why you don't want your file mirrored?
this is simple: I want to make some stats with my PHP script.
study the propagation of my freeware, its popularity, and who
point to my download URL.
For example, I see I was known in a russian site.
When I will be bored of that, I will use google, that's all,
and I will say nothing if my .exe is mirrored.
i HATE spyware
I hate too. flashget is a spyware ?? I didn't know.
may be you known a goog download manager ?
note: even DivX5 is a spyware, so...

i just can't understand why you don't want people helping you out?
this is not the question. I can make this freeware for me and keep
unknown to the comunity. For instance I try to help you.

first you ignore my post asking for assistance and then when i managed to download the transcoder without your help and try together with frodo to help others out, you're pissed off?
I don't undestand what you mean, you said it work with Opera...
My english is not so good but I see one day HT3 is "the best program since virtualdub", and now you insult me. thank you.

now I few people have trouble to download HT3. If they don't want
to use download manager, I can't help them.

why can't you just ask frodo politely to remove his mirror? "hey, I don't want this!" is a rather rude attempt, don't you think? he didn't do it to annoy you he meant well and was trying to help you!
did frodo ask me politely to mirror my freeware ?
and note this: it's a little bit difficult to me to speak politely
because my english is not so good. So pardon me frodo... :p


and please don't say "help you". the only guy who can help me, is
the guy who can reconstruct DTS paquet to send them into Intervideo
Audio decoder.
And I ask the question to myself: I am not interested to convert
DTS/WAV to MPEG multichannel, so why I try to do it if the result
of my work is: "you're pissed off".

:mad:

[m4551m0]

C'mon guys just chill out!

when i said you were "pissed off" i was merely stating your reaction to frodo's mirroring - that was no insult? if you understood it in that way pleasy excuse me... and even IF i insulted you - that would under no circumstances diminish the value of HT3. :rolleyes:

[hypercube]

okay, sorry, again my #@! english: pissed off is not an insult.
have a good day.... :p

Now let's talk about DTS CD, I opened a new thread.

[m4551m0]

Hypercube
have u ever think to put the .wav header out of the pcm files we get from the trancoding process.
it takes ages to apen in cool edit 6 raw files of 120 minutes and give them the right header.

[hypercube]

you want a single 5.1 WAV as output ?
okay. it will be done.
I have work on my code to easily create Output Engine, so
I can build stuff like 5.1WAV engine, AC3Engine, TXTEngine,
PDFEngine, JPGEngine.... :D

some people are interested on an AC3Engine also to
convert DTS into AC3. :devil:

[m4551m0]

that could be a nice option too,
but I was asking about 6 .wav (not raw .pcm) mono files.

would be that also possible?

[kempfand]

Hypercube:

It would be really great if you could have the program accept 44.1 kHz DTS input for the next release.

Reason is that there are a lot of 44.1 DTS CD's (not DVD's), and they are all in 44.1.

Thanks again for your innovative work and support on this one.

Andreas

[m4551m0]

Well, that can be done already, but if you really want to add this feature, just do it :D

[m4551m0]

hypercube
i asked about this yesterday,
when the program loads it asks to enter a vfx and afx. :confused:

[Wookie Groomer]

I have been using Getright for a while now and I still can't download this. I'm not jumping through hoops to satisfy your obsession with tracking stats!

Make this available for download so it can actualy be tested please.

[Jan Marijniszoon]

Hypercube Transcoder works perfectly for starters. It creates 6 pcm-files on my HD.

But at 33.33% the decoding stops without giving any reason. The application has not crashed; I am able to press the "Transcode"-button again.

It appears that 33.33% is exactly 2 channels of the 6 channels.
So it appears to me it only decodes 2-channels and spreads that over 6 pcm-files.

Is this because the intervideo-decoder can only handle 2-channel DTS decoding?


I just cannot enable the 6 channels-option in the filter. It stays greyed out!


Please help!

Greetings,
Jan.

[hypercube]

wow, a lot of question...
first the bad news: I will not here until next week.

now some responses:

Why HT3 stop before 100%
------------------------

the progress calculation is based on a 48Khz 5.1 stream.
HT3 will not stop at 100% if your stream is not a 5.1,
(I mean in the input pin of my Internal filter: Hypercube wrapper.)
There is no format check in DirectShow Mode because exposed
format are often wrong !

this pb is related to the following:

the "gray" pb
-------------

=>6 channel option is grayed in Intervideo Audio decoder
the "gray" pb in Intervideo Audio decoder seems to be related
to the sound card capabilities (2.0 => definitively grayed)
also, it could be a trial limitation ?

about my obsession with tracking stats
--------------------------------------
don't talk too me like a customer who dictate to me what I must do.
When I go back to my home and I read this, I have the felling to
be at the office. my tool is a FREEWARE, okay. so I PLAY with
people in this forum to implement usefull stuff on it, nothing else.
It must be funky and cool for me. So I will do what I want to do.

the program loads it asks to enter a vfx and afx.
-------------------------------------------------+
uh, sorry I forget it. well, it is not an HT3 message.
when it asks it, kill HT3 process and take a look at the
FilterList.txt to know the shitty filter.

I Will change the filter scanner in next HT3 release.
theses filters problems are boring.

44.1 DTS support
----------------
I work hard on it. DTSSource.ax author help me to build a
DTS/WAV source filter, espacially to expose wellformed DTS data
in the input pin of Intervideo Audio Decoder.
In fact, I have to reconstruct an MPEG2 Program stream with DTS
data. So be patient. ;) When I will be able to do this, 44.1 DTS
support int HT3 will be a reality.

WAV output Engine
-----------------
6 WAV files Engine and single 5.1 WAV file Engine will be released.

[m4551m0]

hypercube
keep up the good work
many thanks

[zappppp]

i'm trying to decode DTS 48khz 5.1 to PCM but not filter found. why?

[m4551m0]

@ zappppp
you have to download from doom9.org
the avi2ac3dts.ax and dtssource.ax contained in a rar file called
test.rar
doom9/download/filters/DTS - AVI Filters - allow AVI/DTS muxing and playback

register those 2 file via a .bat file
(do a .txt file paste the following two lines:
regsvr32 /s avi2ac3dts.ax
regsvr32 /s dtssource.ax
rename the file with a .bat extension and run it)
+
you must have installed in your machine
"Intervideo Audio Decoder"
provided with WinDVD.

should works now!

44.1 DTS support
----------------
..In fact, I have to reconstruct an MPEG2 Program stream with DTS data..mpeg2 program stream ? why is that ? i've used the intervideo filter to decode dts-wav streams that were fixed with BeSplit and it worked perfectly.

[hypercube]

may be you don't read that, but I want to make a filter like
DTSSource.ax, its author help me to do that. My filter should
be used to play DTS/WAV. And DTSSource.ax do exactly this type
of work: reconstruct an MPEG2 Program stream with DTS data
in a Private stream.

i've used the intervideo filter to decode dts-wav streams that were fixed with BeSplit and it worked perfectly.
yes. you can play theses files with the help of DTSSource.ax
isn't it ?
If you send the data of a .DTS file directly to Intervideo Filter,
it won't work.

[DSPguru]

gabest did a great job and it's great that you update his filter to support dts-wav :D.
as the delta between the two is approximately epsilon, i hope you just update his code rather then rewriting it from scratch!

ps, this issue had been discussed in here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41052&perpage=31&pagenumber=4).

[hypercube]

My filter work right now !
gabest was so patient with me :)
I wrote for instance the same filter than DTSSource.ax
from scratch, with the help of gabest, the 13818-1 spec
and the ETSI DTS spec.
My style is to understand before cut & paste code...:D

Now, as you say, the delta between the two is approximately epsilon.
I have to put my 14bits DTS converter into and it should be ok.
you what I'm saying, BeSplit do the same thing ;)

then I will have to play with custom types...

I'm HAPPY ! but very tired.... :p

I could also extend my filter to also support AC3.
=> no need to use AC3 Parser filter... not so usefull but...funky !:D

[zyrill]

if you look for more funky ideas you should also have a look at AC3Filter 0.68b just to get some more cool ideas :p

But at 33.33% the decoding stops without giving any reason. The application has not crashed; I am able to press the "Transcode"-button again.
I'm also having the same problem. I'm sure my stream was a 5.1 dts stream (gladiator).


I could also extend my filter to also support AC3.
AC3 and MP3 would be very cool :)

i have a fresh intalled windows xp pro sevice pack 1a
then install avi2ac3dts.ax and dtssource.ax
and WinDVD 4.0

lastly hypercubes trancoder 3

but when i try trancode dts, " filter might be missing".

can somebody tell my why?

[sebus]

you need WinDVD Platinum

sebus

[zappppp]

what's with windvd platinum? can you explain? eve i input ac3 file "filter might be missing", error.

[SurfDrifter]

Just for your information...
I formatted and installed Windows XP SP1 and installed Hypercube and loaded just fine...
Then I installed Pinnacle Instant Copy and afterwards Hypercube was crashing upon loading....

So, maybe instant copy is responisble for the crash.

Just a thought...

[WorldDVD]

I gave Hypercude a try and tried convert an ac3 file to mp2 to get 5.1 sound svcd. When i did this, it came out as (on my receiver) 4.1 dolby pro logic. Is this normal? I have spdif (digital rca) connected to my receiver and use WinDVD Platnium. Any DTS/AC3 source shows up just fine. Did i do something wrong? I also tried to run it on my dvd player and the same thing happened.

Just in case you ask this, the AC3 was a 5.1 384kb/s file.

[hypercube]

@WorldDVD

may you receiver is not MPEG multichannel compliant...
this is a strange idea to use MPEG Multichannel if you play your
SVCD on a PC... don't think so ? you should better to use DivX...
(this is only my opinion...)

;)

@SurfDrifter

all theses shitty stuff will disappear in the next release
(may be tonight :D ), I have rebuilt my Filter Scanner, now
I scan directly in the registry, I don't use DirectShow API.

about WinDVD
------------

I use WinDVD 4.0.11.83

I use also :
WinProducer 1.0.9.0
WinCoder 1.5.6.0

[WorldDVD]

Thanks hypercube for replying. I was only trying to test on my computer so i didn't have to waste a cd :)
AS far as my receiver being compliant, i haven't downloaded your test mp2, but according to the database on the wesbite my receiver is in fact mpeg compliant. I either did something wrong in the converting part or have my receiver setup incorrectly.
Kenwood MPEG Multichannel Compliant
VR-309
External Audio Receiver

I use WinDVD version 4.5

[hypercube]

may your DVD player can play CD-RW ? this is a good way to perform 5.1 tests.
using SPDIF output with MPEG Multichannel is another story...
you should better to burn a CDRW right now :p
