AC3 Decoder

[TrigunXX]

I have created a decoder with installation package

How I can publish it on the website (or on this forum?) ?

Re: AC3 Decoder

Make a thread in probably the Developer forum regarding it. You'll havta find somewhere else to upload the package and link to it, though.

Also, you do know that AC3 is supported via the DirectShow Decoder, right?

Re: AC3 Decoder

Yes I know that is support by the direct show, but I'll try to make my first decoder....

It requires Visual Basic Library

I hope does not disturb you

Re: AC3 Decoder

Is it all written in Visual basic?

Re: AC3 Decoder

The are one file written in VB, a dbPowerAmp DLL written in C++, a global hook DLL written in C++ and the azid.exe

I've tested it on Windows XP and Work properly with the MusicConverter

Re: AC3 Decoder

tried it... only converted first 50 seconds :cry:

i guess ill stick with the dshow decoder for ac3

edit: just noticed this.. it didnt delete its temp file either

Re: AC3 Decoder

that strange! To me it works well and it cancels the temporary file

Can you send me the full path directory which your ac3 file was present?
(for example "c:\Programmi\blabla\hello.ac3") and your windows version?

Probably there were strange ascii characters

Edit: It could have been also caused from damaged ac3 file that the AZID.exe not read properly (but only first 50 seconds)

Re: AC3 Decoder

i suppose my test file might have become corrupt (encoded it a long time ago)
if i get a chance ill try a new test file with it and see how it goes

path is irrelavent, since it found the file just fine but it was named '1.ac3'... no strange characters there

Re: AC3 Decoder

Ok, say me as the new test will go

[gameplaya15143]

Re: AC3 Decoder

the test went bad

brand new ac3... decoded 1:19 of 3:05
it's obvious to me that it is failing at some point, since the temp file is still there... and is corrupt, it wont play at all

48khz 192kbps stereo ac3 files, encoded with ffmpeg and besweet, both didnt work, and azid got left in the processes :cry:
