Hi guys,

I cannot bitstream Dolby digital Plus(E-AC3) to my Denon AVR.
DTS HD, DTS HRA, DTS, AC3 and True HD work Fine.

My GPU is Radeon 5870, Catalyst 11.2, Realtek HDMI 2.55 and Realtek HD Audio 2.58 driver.
Im using windows 7 64 bit,
Spliter > MPC-HC (Gabest)
Decoder > ffdshow video and audio
EDID Hack

I tested with MPC-HC x32, MPC-HC x64, WMP12 x32, WMP12 x64, TMT 5 and Splash Player Pro.
Still not success full bitstreaming EAC3. But other HD Audio work fine.

Currently im using ffdshow to convert EAC3 to PCM and pass to HDMI.

Does any know how to fix this?
Can i fix this with nvidia GPU?

Im sucessfull bitstreamind EAC3 from Splash Player after edid Denon EDID.
But Splash Player flag out caution notice.
But other Players still Fail.

Anyone with different GPU sucessfully bitstream EAC3 with ffdshow?

when the pc booting,
did u see bios screen and windows logo?

You have to check the configuration back in your avr.
I also have similar problem last time, but still able viewing bios screen, cause by windows driver.

It depends, most people used low cost, decent performance HTPC, small casing and only 1 HDD.
A media player also capable to do this with less cost. But it required AVR or Digital AMP to get 5.1 ch (some media player also have analog out but expensive).

With HTPC, you can have more configurable sound option, not just by soundcard driver, but audio codec as well like ffdshow.

Consider about power consumption, low power HTPC is good, but using AVR will defeat the purpose. Just get 5.1 logitech or creative is enough.

Unless you have high end HTPC, with 10x2TB hdd and around 500 HD movie with HD sound, then AVR is a must.

it is and i agree. What if some one intend to use headphone, do we really need all above option.

TV or display is a must.
but im comparing between Media Player + AVR vs. HTPC + 5.1 Speaker.

best audio quality, then it a must, (i also use avr when playing Games)

How you know i only have 8x2tb hdd and got 800 hd movie with hd sound.

PS: I bought GT430, but still failed to bitstream EAC3 via ffdshow.

remux it using ts muxer, only save the main video and chose prefered audio laungauge, use srt subtitle. you can get around 13 to 17GB.

That why peter32 wrote media player good for wife/parents. Simple and easy to operate.
Wife/parents doesnt care if they can change the theme/skin. They dont care dts or ac3 as long as they can here sound. but they do hate when they click play and windows popup software crash, or suddenly played movie freeze and produce loud noise. And they dont know how to fix this.
