Real audio files - problem

[savagcl]

Vista 32/64 bit system
dbPoweramp 13.1 registered
Real Alternate 1.9.0 (latest)
encoderreal audio release 5
decoder directshow decoder
directshow.dll

DSExt = // Add supported DirectShow file type extensions, type only one extension per
// line (replace .xyz below), re-run 'dMC Configuration' after adding new, for example:
//
// .ac3
// .abc
//

.ra
.rm

A search gave me some pointers but they didnt work for
me.
I can not tell if the ra, rm was added to the configuration because the window isnt resizable.

Converting gives me the same problem i see others posting
about. A 200+ converting speed and a 30kb file, 960 milli-
second length. For winamp and WMP, the file is so short,
i can't tell if it plays or not but obviously, something is
wrong. The original file does play in windows media classic.

I have dbP 13.1 on drive C and dbP 12 on a different
HD (XP) (hot-pluggable HD) neither version will work.

Confused,

Re: Real audio files - problem

Note: the old Aux program will do the conversion to a wav file
correctly and it will playback OK.

Re: Real audio files - problem

To clarify, do the original Real Audio files play in WMP?

Re: Real audio files - problem

No, neither .ra or .rm will play in WMP.

In 13.1 folder:
Decoder folder shows:
DirectShow.dll, DSExt.
wma.dll, wma v9.1.dll, wma v9.dll

Encoder folder shows:
Real Audio (Helix).dll (Rel 5 Using Helix SDK v11 dated: 22/1/2007.)
wma10.dll

The output file only shows as a 30kb wav file with a
length of 960 milli-seconds.

WMP results are the same as winamp.

thanks for the help,

Re: Real audio files - problem

Also the .ra and .rm extensions do show up in the directshow
decoder (from the configuration program)
