Deeply disappointed (or just unnerved) - Basically nothing is working (7 Viewers)

Yeah, that would have been my next question.
Are the Win7 Codecs good enough?

What I want to be able to play:
- TV in SD (had elecard before)
- TV in HD (with CoreAVC)
- Videos in HD, MKV and AC3/DTS (with CoreAVC and AC3 Filter)
- Satellite Radio (with AC3 Filter)

so would it be enough to install HaaliMedia Splitter and AC3 Filter to keep everything moving and without interlacing problems?

Hi again

What am I allowed to backup (channels, eventgost file etc) without corrupting the new installation right away? (btw: did I already mention I like this forum mainly for its great support? )

You could definitely backup the EventGhost config. Personally I would completely rescan my channels, however you probably have access to more channels than me so it would be more time consuming.

@sloty32: Remember that the Microsoft audio codec doesn't support DD or DD+ in 3rd party applications like MP. That would be unsuitable for some people...

Edit:

so would it be enough to install HaaliMedia Splitter and AC3 Filter to keep everything moving and without interlacing problems?

That would be a great start if you ask me, but I'm not a codec expert like Hoborg. I use AC3Filter with the PDVD codec and it works nicely.

Well, then I'll just give it a shot. Will keep you updated when "project mammoth" will be started in the evening

Hi,

why AC3 Filter? What are you trying to do? Maybe its not necscscserrery (verdammtes Wort, krieg nie auf die Reihe wie man das schreibt "nötig"

Necessary Or as a nice negated adverb - unnecessarily
I thought the AC3 filter is mandatory, otherwise you can't get any 5.1 sound out of the player with MKV files and AC3/DTS/whatsoever sound format may be in there. At least that was my understanding of that program.

Your understanding is the same as mind - that is why I use it. It supports MPEG 1, MPEG 2, AC3, and DTS audio.

If you don't want to use SAF6, and I cannot think why not, then just use the LAVF audio + splitter, both are maintained, Haali or Gabest splitters are not, and they both have there problems with certain filetypes.

See here for supported formats

Well, SAF seems quite bugged as far as I can read in the thread. Out of sync errors and many more.
An with the Haali Splitter I never had any problems so far. Maybe I'll also grab a version of PowerDVD to get the rest flowing.

I tried SAF6 Unlocked and had to go back to SAF5 unlocked, because nothing was working anymore for playback of most of my videos/streaming video.
Now everything is back to noRmAL.

Try SAF5 unlocked, Good Luck.

 

[Zuzler]

Well, I'll now try a combination of AC3 Filter, Haali Splitter and Power DVD.
