RadLight APE DirectShow Filter
Initial release compiled against 'MACLib 3.98a1'. It's based on the same model as our MPC sourcefilter so do not expect to use this to mux APEs into video files *right now*. No tags support yet.
Binary (110KB) As usually, any feedback is welcome! Just one more thing ... seeking with 3.98 encodes is extremely slow (caused by the alpha MACLib).

IMO, AC3 --> APE has no uses, so what can APE be good in a container?

Well, off hand I would say that at least it will be useful audio-only storage. Storing audio formats in a common container can help with player integration. Instead of needing to make a new subsystem for each type of audio format, you just have one for a common container. You could pull all audio information from the container and greatly simplify many processes.
At least, that is one of the ideas behind MKA. Other than that it may be useful for capturing to. |

I like to have a choice - and now it's possible to use player other than Winamp, foobar etc. for APE playback
Still, only very few people are using lossless

Good job, although the only time I use APE is when I want to convert them to MPC
One thing I have found, is all the APE files I have downloaded were 1 single file with a CUE; and this seems to be the way people like to use APE, since they can easily restore their original audio CD. Does your filter support cue files? |

It does not support CUEs yet but I like the idea. Thanks

The single file with CUE index thing is meant to work like this: Decompress your ape to .wav and then open the cue in daemontools. The CUE file itself references to the .wav, not the ape. Myself I haven't been able to use this, as some crazy japanese APE file crashes as well the official Monkey's Audio thing as well as winamp. My suspicion is shift-jis metadata, but I could be wrong.

Using this method, in foobar2000 the .ape file is seen not as a single file, but as a list of individual tracks which support next and previous song. I am not sure, but I suspect it might work in winamp as well using the mp3cue plugin. @DAvenger What would be great is if your filter looked for the presence of a .cue file when loading an .ape file, and automatically did an on-the-fly replacement of WAV to APE if needed. This should be possible since VSFilter (DVobSub) loads external subtitles automatically based on the filename. |

Tested APE 3.97 and APE 3.98,
Both versions play fine with this Filter even with unicode characters in the file/path name. Just wondering, does this anything to do with this "DS Monkey Audio - DirectShow Filesource Decoder Filter"? http://dsp-worx.de/index.php?pg=projects&tid=18 Quote:
