I've laughed so much the first time I've read this post. Then a few days ago, I have clicked that damn file and I was ROFL!
Code:
echo Are you on a 64-bit Windows OS? (y/n)
echo 1) Open mpc-hc.exe in HxD and replace the two occurrences of "33806DE046DBCF11B4D100805F6CBBEA" in Hex mode with "578F49F699B3434AA6FAF694AD42B9BE". Save.
echo 2) Open the patched mpc-hc.exe, go to External Filters in Options. Add ffdshow Audio Renderer on top and then ArcSoft HD Decoder and set both to preferred.
echo 3) Disable DTS decoding in ffdshow.
echo 4) Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
If you want credits for your work, please try harder.

Look what you can do with just a batch file:
http://office.live.com/self.aspx/Shared/BATCH/AS4MPCHC.BAT
Code:
:: REQUIRED FILES:
:: mpc-hc.exe, ASAudioHD.ax, DtsDec.dll, dtsdecoderdll.dll, and checkactivate.dll
:: Files will be searched for:
:: - in the current dir
:: - in a Codecs subdir
:: - in local archives if 7-Zip, WinRar or WinZip are installed
:: - in the path got from the registry
:: - in common TMT locations
:: Enough flexibility here...
::
:: FEATURES:
:: Auto patcher of mpc-hc.exe with the ArcSoft GUIDs
:: Installs ArcSoft decoder to the system path
:: Modifies win.ini for ArcSoft without duplicating lines
:: Disables FFDShow's DTS decoder
:: The only thing missing is setting up MPC-HC external filters, but that's up to the user's prefs anyway
:: No retarded prompts...

So is it even being worked on for libavcodec to add DTS-HD Master decoding? I'd assume that's what the OP was wondering, other than having some hacked bastard set up.

I simply don't know advanced batch scripting. You do so good for you and everyone else trying to get this done. The rights reserved part is just so ArcSoft doesn't come after me for redistributing their dlls. I could care less about the patcher code. But nice job on your patcher and I will be studying it to learn more about the power of batch scripting!

@ ramicio

Thanks for your comment on a 'hacked bastard set up'. Really appreciate it. And no libavcodec will not support DTS-HD MA decoding for a very long time I presume.

You took my rather harsh, evil comments like I would, I am very impressed And yes, that's the reason I've made it, maybe one will find some bits useful. I do appreciate the sarcasm, because I am not a script guru, too. No one is born with knowledge, you gain that from others as a starting point. Then you might create something seen as original, but if you don't share it and you keep it to yourself, you're wasting it.

Hi, When using the arcsoft decoder, mpc-hc very rarely shuts down gracefully. I often have to kill it using task manager, in order to allow me to successfully start up another movie. Does anyone know why this is the case? Apart from this I'm very happy with using arcsofts decoder for dts-ma.

umm, I haven't come across any problems using ArcSoft's decoder with MPC-HC and a shutdown problem... Maybe you should re-install using the above patcher^

Well each time I get a new mpc-hc version, I use HxD to hex edit the relevant string. I find mpc-hc shuts down but I can often see eg reclock and ffdshow icons still in the taskbar so its not closing down as it does with other filters. This only happens when I watch a movie that'll utilize the arcsoft decoder, eg one with dts-ma in it. I'm wondering when closing down / destroying the graph, does the arcsoft decoder have a non standard way of closing that mpc can't handle? Just a guess, I really don't know.

Thank you bobdynlan for your bat file . Works perfectly here for me once I use the correct .ax and checkactivate file. Only change I made was to set the win.ini piece of the code to use 1 for dynamic range so as to keep things as close to the original sound as psosible.

Is it true that this .126 version is the only version that outputs full hd audio over analog?

I have been use both of them and .125 and tmt3 decoder...

Reclock only says 24bit at .125....through analog...16bit with everything else...


E.G Sorry for the version it is .125 the right one...

TMT3 .185 is working perfectly for me. 24-bit, 7.1, 96khz, all come out fine, if the source has those =)

For me its HDMI, but its decoded to PCM, so it should output that over analog as well.

No...it doesn't...

It will deliver it downsampled....through analog.

I have used tmt3 with .185 and it didn't deliver pure 24bit....

You know, in analog, there are no bits anymore. If your audio renderer receives 24-bit (ReClock in my case), thats all you can ask for.

I know but that it has nothing to do with the case here...

After .125 from tmt2, arcsoft downsampled every audio from their software.....

Except the digital connections, which uses the tunnel and deliver bitstream audio from one end to the other...Everything else were ruined...

Although it may never happen, I really would like to see libavcodec get DTS MA decoding support...

No not true, TMT 3 .185 happily outputs 24bit over analog for DTS honest (but not in TMT, you need to use it in Direct Show with Shard's unlocker).

You mean DTS-MA.....

All DTS types + extensions (DTS,HR,MA,96/24) are output at 24bit and 96khz where applicable

iv noticed that .185 has problems with decoding dts mono and 16 bit dts stereo.

do the other versions have this problem as well?

edit: hey you guys, made an interesting discovery.

I'm using everything from tmt 3 .185, except the dtsdecoderdll.dll, which is from TotalMedia Theatre 5.0.1.87.

Now the decoder outputs 16/24 bit pcm properly, depending on the source material, and has no problems with mono or stereo anymore.

I have to say, you all should give it a try.

edit2: Actually, 6 channel material appears to always output in 24 bit still for some reason. But when there are different numbers of channels present, it seems it will intelligently select the output bit depth.
