@xkodi and others,
I'm using this version: Quote:
MLP header info: Do you also have this problem? (When playing the graph the audio seems fine, so it's not mangled up ...) When loading the graph in AviSynth with directshowsource.dll the samplerate is also reported as 88.2kHz. Last edited by Wilbert; 22nd July 2007 at 21:29. |

That's a bit strange, but it's not completely without sense, as 48khz and 44.1khz are the usual frequences and 88.2khz happens to be exacty 2 * 44.1khz. Personally, I don't have any MLP files with 96khz, so I can't reproduce the problem. My only MLP sources are movie tracks and they seem to be 48khz only at this point in time.

thank you xkodi, ACrowley, hristoff2!
this means we should NOT convert/playback DD+ or TrueHD with any codec because of the DRC bad news ... really bad. even if we'll have a hdmi audio output we can not enjoy the HD discs with our PC the whole industy s*cks we are forced to use expensive set-top-hddvd/bd/players 'coz maybe intervideo/cybelink decoders also produce bad output we just don't know ... An old dvd will sound better with its low bitrate ac3 track than a DRC'ed TrueHD track Last edited by arty; 24th July 2007 at 15:02. |

Actually my version current version of Nero (and it's filters) could be corrupt. (7.9.6.0)
Trying 7.8.5.0 now...latest test I did (30mins before) I encountered that Sonic @ "quiet environment" was even more dynamic than the output of my Nero 7.9.6.0 and it's filters. Nero's DRC can be turned off in Nero Showtime though...but until now I thought this would be directed to TrueHD decoding only...I wonder if anyone actually made tests like this: Sonic vs. Nero Nero vs. DVD Sonic vs. DVD I could provide all this stuff (the ac3 files) and the eac3 file with the correct timecodes if someone can explain how to cut an eac3 file.

@arty, hristoff2 Thanks for your investigation. I've made a post in the other forum summarizing the situation. Last edited by honai; 24th July 2007 at 18:59. |

Mh.... i thought too Nero will not apply DRC on DD+ ?
But Sonic does surely Sonic Decoder Output sounds always louder...on AC3 too compared to AC3 Filter Mhh i dont think we can 100% compare a DVD AC3 with EAC3 .Shouldnt EAC3 sound mor dynamic so the Waveform is different... But Sonic shows no differenc between quite and normal..it was reported in few Threads But no doubt....the comaprisons Screens show Nero is more Flat However, encoded AC3 from DD+ sounds good imho. Also i usually mux the untouched EAC3 into my reencodes, so.... This is a sample from EAC3 ( Serenity HDDVD 1536kbps) Both Center waves are loaded into Audacity 1st in Nero 2nd Sonic Last edited by ACrowley; 24th July 2007 at 20:33. |

... Just saw it and thought it's relatively comparable...take a look at this huge shit: ...so we've got 2x shit, but nero is even shittier because it's 1/2 loud. (compare overall volume from Nero to DVD and Sonic to DVD...Sonic has at least the correct "overall" volume) Last edited by hristoff2; 24th July 2007 at 20:10. |

Hey Kollega..."humble opinion" ? Cool down! Sometimes a reencode from a 1536Kbps EAC3 sounds better as a 384Kbps 5.1 from DVD Last edited by ACrowley; 24th July 2007 at 21:39. |

Ofcourse you can say it Generally.. But for example a reencode from 1.5Mbps EAC3 to 640Kbps AC3 or to 768kbps 24Bit WMA 5.1 (when i encode WVC1) sounds better ,compared with a standard 384kbps DVD AC3..not always, but often. Thats what i mean And about the AC3-EAC3 Comparison .. How was the Wave decoded from AC3 ? I mean there can be a huge difference between the Methods how the wave was decoded from AC3 Example : Source is AC3 (untouched) 448kbps. Decoded with :ffdshow raw dump(no DRC)/ SteinbergNuendo(no DRC)/ Tranzcode 0.4(no DRC)/ Besweet(no DRC in Command) Example : You can see there the Waveform is different. All without DRC. I would say Steinberg Nuendos AC3 Decoder is Refernce because its a off. Pro. Dolby Decoder/Encoder ( same Result with Digigram,Softencode Decoder) Last edited by ACrowley; 26th July 2007 at 16:14. |
