 Posted: Mon, 22nd Jan 2007 00:24 Post subject: Question : Dolby Digital Plus |
|
 |
I've recently been delving into some HD DVD backups and I've noticed that it encodes as Dolby Digital Plus. Now, during playback these backups are fairly quiet and I can't seem to adjust the levels at all.
I am using PowerDVD 6.5 as it is the only one that seemed to want to play a HDDVD backup. Just curious if anyone has a suggestion as to how to configure the plugin for this, or better yet how to figure out which codec is being used to decode this and adjust this?

This utility is great for examining the codec required to play a movie file and to examine what codecs you have installed:

The best player for a lot of my media needs is VLC. It handles files that others seem to fail on:

My next favorite player is what comes with Nero. Nero ShowTime worked a lot better for me than PowerDVD.

These aren't regular files, they're pretty new and it doesn't work to examine them, and you need special codecs to play them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm trying 7.0 instead of 7.2 ultra which apparently has a lot of problems with it.

What about the VLC player. I find it hard to believe PowerDVD is better than it (other than perhaps a prettier interface)

better in visual quality too, still using 6.0 tho, tried 7.0 was kinda buggy and missed easy buttons 6 version had
using vlc only for .vlc files other than that mpc for .avi and power dvd for dvd obviuosly

Looked through that Spykez. The problem I'm having isn't the playback, because PowerDVD actually plays the file and I get 2 channels of audio, however I can't seem to get more than that nor get the volume normalized.
I've installed the AVC pro codec, and tried opening the file in MPC, with no luck.
Do you have a way we can speak on a live basis, maybe you can help me with my issue... MSN messenger perhaps?

So guess what, I was an idiot and had my rear speakers plugged into the side speakers jack.
Works.

make sure you have the coreavc codec, I found that the pro ones work best.

PowerDVD is currently the only player that I know of that natively supports evo files without extra codecs. Look for Ultra 7.2 or 6.5 hd dvd version. If you get 7.2 make sure in the install directory you copy the folder that looks like its the hd dvd one and paste it, then delete the bluray one and rename the hd dvd copy to the blu ray one... if that makes any sense.
