Thanks ahgc for your update!

I'll have to check it out. By the way, so far I haven't heard anything from Milan about ffdshow. To check for updates check the ffdshow website for updates periodically.

PS- 200 POSTS! HAPPY 200 POSTS TO ME!

Looks like no one posts here anymore, but I have to ask something.
It seems that the InterVideo filter has the same channel order to the Cyberlink filter (which doesn't modify the length of the audio, nor does it mute the first seconds). The question is; where should each channel be swapped for using this as a Pro-Logic II decoder to use with my GameCube?
For example, should I swap the channels to match AC3Filter's channel configuration and use that filter before outputting the audio to be rendered?
Thanks.

- From this point the channel mapping is as follows:
* Channel 1->"FL"
* Channel 2->"FR"
* Channel 3->"C"
* Channel 4->"LFE"
* Channel 5->"SL"
* Channel 6->"SR"
In order for channel mapping to be correct for most AC3 encoders (including BeSweet), you need to map the channels to:
* Channel 1->"FL"
* Channel 2->"C"
* Channel 3->"FR"
* Channel 4->"SL"
* Channel 5->"SR"
* Channel 6->"LFE"
And thus need to check "Channel Swap" and enter the following:

Quote:
Front left -> front left
Front center -> front right
Front right -> front center
Back left -> LFE
Back center -> back center
Back right -> back left
LFE -> back right
Are you sure that the channel switching is correct? In your quote, you say, for example, to change in ffdshow the LFE channel with the back right one, but according to what you say above, I should change it with the back left. Is this right or I have misunderstood? Can you post a screen of ffdshow with the correct channel order for clarity?

@dark.soft: Okay... I will do this in the morning... It's quite late here and I'm tired

@hrlslcbr: I have not tried the new Cyberlink DPLII upmixing method. The old one strictly upmixed to DPLI (which made rear right and rear left sound exactly the same). I will try this in the morning as well :-P.

@dark.soft:

Yes the channel ordering is correct with channel swapping. If you do not believe me, run through this process and encode an ac3 file yourself. Then burn it to a DVD and test it through a 5.1 speaker system. I have run multiple tests and it is the correct channel order.

I will post a screen momentarily.

PS- What Cyberlink product has DPLII upmixing capabilities (so I can download it, test it, and possibly update the guide)?

Regards,
joshbm

Sorry, you were right: the channel order is correct, I discovered it today, thank you!

I have two little OT questions: soft encode is a good AC3 encoder? I can't find out information on a good encoder (excluding ac3enc, wich I don't like). Another thing is: I have 6 mono wavs obtained from a 5.1 wav created by your process, and I need to normalize them individually with sound forge. So, when i choos process>normalize, then I want them at a certain average RMS level, not the standard -31. So, if I have, say, a wav file at -40 db, and I want it at -27, what should I choose in the normalize to slider? And what should I choose at the "if clipping occurs" option to have a better result? Finally, in the scan settings, excluding the "use equal loudness contour option", what other options should I use?

I'm very sorry to ask these things here, but in my topic nobody answered, and I see you're pretty good in audio treatment .

PowerDVD 6 installs a filter that can do PLII upmixing.

I have also problems with the Intervideo Filters. I search in the net and it seems, that cyberlink's filter to upmix the sout is "Cyberlink Audio Effect".

I'm not sure if this is equivalent, but in the current ffdshow you can simply use the dolby decoder to do upmixing.

This seems to take care of everything including LFE.

So, in ffdshow, you would only need to have dolby decoder checked. I also use volume to do normalization, but that's not necessary (although from here you can see that indeed LFE is being generated).

Additionally, ac3 output is working. Just make sure you change the output back to 16bit when you're done otherwise ffdshow only decodes to spdif (hence no sound).

Work, but with bad channel separation:
Code:
Contents (in %) in recovered (') channels
from original channels

ffdshow Dolby decoder
      FL  FR  C  LFE  SL  SR
     --- --- --- --- --- ---
FL'   94   7  17   -  84   9
FR'    6  97  17   -   9  82
C'    48  45 1xx   -  10  10
LFE'  10   6   3   -   7   6
SL'   79   0   0   - 1xx  68
SR'    0  79   0   -  69 1xx
Where 1xx is more than 100% then clipped.

You can see Cyberlink Audio Effect (Power DVD 7) more effective recover at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...466#post938466
PowerDVD 6 also work like hrlslcbr say.

You are right. If you want a free tool you can use ATSurround plugin for Foobar2000:
Code:
ATSurround-AS2 (Foobar)
      FL  FR  C  LFE  SL  SR
     --- --- --- --- --- ---
FL'   67   0   6   -  30   3
FR'    0  67   6   -   3  30
C'     6   6  67   -   1   1
LFE'   -   -   -   -   -   -
SL'    7   4   2   -  51  45
SR'    4   7   2   -  45  51
really better than ffdshow.

Thanks

But I've already tried. I get a sharing violation on the destination file after about 62 minutes into the audio when converting to 6ch WAV.

BTW, how do you check/generate that information in the table?

Sorry, I forgot answer you.
Problems with big file size? Greater than 2 GB or 4 GB?

I use a test channel (with channels independents in time) then:
wav6 -> Downmix -> wav2_dpl -> Upmix -> wav6'
And I compare (volume and phase) output channels with input channels.
Of course with real sounds isn't so easy because channel coupling/cancellation, but at least the procedure must work with independents channels.

There are a new plugin for Foobar foo_dsp_fsurround
with better performance with dpl 2.

No input/output pins for intervideo audio processor Fx in GrapEdit !!!

Here's the screenshot when I tried to load Intervideo Audioprocessor Fx in Graph Edit:



There is no input/output pin to this module to connect anything....what kind of a weird error is this.
