It has an option -N that can be added to the command line to enable it. QAAC is also the only AAC encoder with the ability to peak normalise. MKVToolNix compensates for the padding when muxing audio but I don't think any other muxing programs do. Partly because it has a -no-delay option that gets it to remove any encoder "padding" from the beginning (extra silence). It should help you find the various AAC encoders and/or the files they depend on. I wrote a bit of an essay here a while back. If you use the default variable bitrate quality setting for each you probably can't go wrong.
I don't really see much benefit to AC3Filter over FFDSHOW though, and it is just one less thing to install and maintain to use FFDSHOW instead.The AAC encoders should all be good at reasonable bitrates. You could, of course, use AC3Filter instead of FFDSHOW for the decode filter, if you so desire. I just tested here on my system with both types of files and it works fine. The beauty is that this will work BOTH for DTS encoded WAV files (DTS-WAV, like the sample I linked to above) and for raw DTS files like Alex posted. Scroll all the way down in the codecs list and set Uncompressed to "All Supported". Make sure the DTS decoder is set to libdts and the "check for DTS in WAV" option is ENABLED (should be by default with CCCP).ġ0.
In the FFDSHOW dialog, select the Codecs "tab" from the left-hand nav.ĩ. Hit the Configure button and open the FFDSHOW Configuration Utility.Ĩ. Set Other Filters to ffdshow Audio Decoder.ħ.
Select DTS Audio from the Audio list, and choose JRiver audio engine (DirectShow) as the playback method.Ħ. In MC, go to Tools > Options > File TypesĤ. So, I'm going to modify my instructions above to:ģ. I found that AC3File handles the WAV sources just fine. Is that in an actual DTS container, or is it something else with DTS encoded audio inside it, Alex? I can't find much info on any standard DTS container anywhere (there's a lot of conflicting information).Īctually. However, this will BREAK "true" DTS files like the one Alex posted. Make sure the file extension for your DTS files is set to DTS, and then they should play back in MC just fine. Scroll all the way down in the codecs list and set U ncompressed to "All Supported". Make sure the DTS decoder is set to libdts and the "check for DTS in WAV" option is ENABLED (should be by default with CCCP).ĩ. In the FFDSHOW dialog, select the Codecs "tab" from the left-hand nav.Ĩ. Hit the Configure button and open the FFDSHOW Configuration Utility.ħ. Set Other Filters to ffdshow Audio Decoder.Ħ. Select DTS Audio from the Audio list, and choose JRiver audio engine (DirectShow) as the playback method.ĥ. In MC, go to Tools > Options > File Typesģ. Make sure you have FFDSHOW installed and working.Ģ. For my testing, I used the sample DTS-WAV file available here (I tested with both files): ġ. For DTS-WAV files (which are different than the sample file that Alex posted), all you need is FFDSHOW and a little configuration.
