Nope. Never got a response. Never seen anything mentioned about fixing DTS-HD MA issues. At this point, I've given up on Haali and moved on to other splitters. I like Haali, but, there are several issues that make it really difficult to work with. Fortunately in my setup, I can switch between 3 different splitters in both 32 and 64 bit environments at the press of a mouse click.

Mpc-gabest and solveig; what else?
What is the third one?

[SamuriHL]

I keep Haali because some programs require it for certain tasks. (RipBot, eac3to). But I keep it unregistered in the 64 bit world completely, and I only register the MKV stuff in 32 bit land. The 32 bit TS splitter from Haali breaks TMT for me. That's why I register only what I need.

"I keep it unregistered in the 64" how you do that?

thanks

There's also the new lavfsplitter. I think that will become the splitter of choice in the future as it's a one-stop-shop! It's gonna be mpc-hc's new internal splitter.

[nevcairiel]

Its far from finished, though. =)

I have a set of batch files that take care of registering and unregistering the dll's and ax files for each splitter. I got sick of dealing with it manually. For Haali, I unregister the 64 bit files completely and leave them unregistered. That gives me the option of using MPC splitter or SMM splitter without worrying about Haali interfering.

@echo off
cd /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\Haali\MatroskaSplitter"

regsvr32 /u /s avi.x64.dll
regsvr32 /u /s dxr.x64.dll
regsvr32 /u /s mkx.x64.dll
regsvr32 /u /s mp4.x64.dll
regsvr32 /u /s ogm.x64.dll
regsvr32 /u /s splitter.x64.ax
regsvr32 /u /s ts.x64.dll

That leaves the 32 bit stuff untouched but unregisters the 64 bit. To re-register them, remove the /u from each line. Also, if you have UAC enabled, you must run the batch file as administrator.

thank you very much samuri work like charm

[SamuriHL]

No problem. Glad it worked!

[Skinleech]

Maybe this was fixed already and I missed it, but is there still an issue when bitstreaming and using software decoders?

I read a post on a blog (http://www.landofwhimsy.com/) that the latest cat drivers fix latency issues with pvr recordings etc, so wondered if it might fix this issue once and for all.

As I say, it may not be an issue anymore and I've not noticed.

Any chance of ffdshow streaming truehd and dtsma on an Nvidia GTX 460 on Vista? I have tried with many audio renders (including mpc-hc) and multiple source files, and can't get it to work with my Onkyo TX-SR705.

People on avsforum are saying it works on Win7, but I don't want to upgrade that machine to Win7. I use the Vista photos screen saver all the time for pictures and videos. The Windows Live Version (the only option on Win7) won't play the whole video, only 10 seconds.

Thanks.

For Vista you have one chance: MPC Audio Renderer
If it doesn't work call tulli.

Hi, I am hoping this is the right place to ask this - I am having a conflict between ffdshow and my webcam software. I can open up the cam and mic just fine, but when I use the software that came with it (Dell Webcam Manager), it crashes if I have ffdshow installed. I did get a pop up that had different options in ffdshow (use this time, don't use, etc) but no matter which one I tried, still crashed. When I uninstalled ffdshow, the software for the cam worked fine. Unfortunately, I use ffdshow all the time as part of using BD Rebuilder, and there are so many things to play around with in ffdshow and I am a newbie at all this av stuff, I just get lost in trying to figure out what I should adjust to prevent this from happening. Any help would be appreciated - and if this belongs somewhere else, please point that out and I will move it. Thanks.

@ saphire199: you could try reducing the *merit level* of ALL ffdshow filters to "DO_NOT_USE" (0x00200000). IF even this does not work, then ffdshow is much buggier than I thought. Too bad that VideoForWindows is a "dead" technology.

[saphire199]

@midzuki Thanks, resetting merit level worked.
