The Decoder appears not as "madflac" in the Dshow Player Filter Properties when you play a Flac File as like as other Decoder ? right ?...


Ofcourse you can acces the Options whne you click Filter Options/"Source File :customized Graph" in Zoomplayer or in mpc its in "Play/Filters"

Its marginal, but maybe you can make the Decoder visible as "madflac" for Dshow Playback so that the Decoder is listed in the Filter/Graph Optiones so we can acces the Options from there ...would be more obvious

And i have a 6.1 FLAC File reencoded from DTSHD 6.1 with latest eac3to. eac3to info is DTS HD "6.1" 24
and .wavs Output is 7 mono waves

But Madflac Info on 6.1 Flac 7.1 CH
I made a few Tests and all Flac Files reencoded from dts (hd) 6.1 are 7.1 in madflac Properties.
I Dont know if its only a wrong info or madflac decodes them wrong as 7.1

I'm using MPC and and not ZoomPlayer, and in MPC the madFlac options are available in the same place where any other decoder's options are available, too. Not sure what madFlac would have to do different (technically) to show up in ZoomPlayer where you want it to show up. If that's important for you, maybe you can ask ZoomPlayer support about this? They might be able to tell you what a decoder needs to do exactly to show up where you want it to show up.

LPCM tracks are 7.1, even if the soundtrack is only 6.1. The back channel is then simply stored twice with identical data. DTS Discrete can be 6.1 or 7.1, I believe. TrueHD is usually 5.1 or 7.1, I think. In order to avoid having so many different channel configurations eac3to is intentionally converting 6.1 channels to 7.1 by doubling the 7th channel. FLAC should handle such situations very efficiently. I expect there to be no noticable disadvantage in file size.

madFlac crashes for me

Could it be because of my old CPU (no SSE)?

Can you post the crash report? At least in which dll it crashed? If it's inside of libFlac.dll then it might be SSE related. Honestly I'm not sure which version of libFlac.dll I'm using. You could try replacing that libFlac.dll (which is distributed with madFlac) with a SSE free version to see if that fixes the problem.

I got a similar bug report for my program CUE Tools which uses libFLAC, and indeed there is sometimes a problem with libFLAC's SSE detection routine. I'm pretty sure this is the same problem here because I was able to reproduce it on one of my older computers. Try this compile of libFLAC.dll, I compiled it with USE_TRY_CATCH_FLAVOR defined which changes the way the error handling in the SSE detection works.

@Madhsi

I simply mean that in mpc for example for AC3 the Decoder apperas as AC3 Filter, or for x264 its CoreAVC or ffdshowVideoDecoder etc
You can click on the Decoder to enter Options.

Thats what i mean for madflac too because the Decoder appears not as madflac as like as AC3 Filter for example....but its marginal , forget it

Ah, I see what you mean. madFlac shows not with "madFlac", but with the filename of the FLAC file. That should be easy to change.

Ouch. Didn't test madFlac on Vista64 yet. But I've already had trouble with installing the simple "Dump" filter (MS filter which ships with GraphEdit) on Vista64! So it seems that installing 32bit DirectShow filters on Vista64 is a general problem. I'll look into this later. Can't promise a specific date for a fix, though.

This is just for playing flac without a container, yes?

I have lots of working 5.1 flacs but as soon as I put them in an mka and mkv and use ffdshow, the sound breaks up every few seconds.

Can I ask what people are using to decoder flac inside a mkv container?

Currently I have all my FLACs as external files. I might add decoding support for FLACs in containers, but I'm not sure if I can make it better than ffdshow.

The Vista problem might be because of UAC. Try disabling that. And of course register the filter with admin privileges.
