I followed everything in the guide but I have a question regarding the audio renderer. For the speaker setup in MPAR setting, what's the difference between 5.1 and 5.1 Surround? Also, I have a SPDIF connection to my receiver and I have to put AC3 encoding to auto so I can get sound from my receiver. But now my receiver displays DD instead of DTS. I'm guessing because it was re-encoded in AC3. However when I used to do LAV audio bitstreaming with DTS, it would display DTS on my receiver. My question is now that I'm using MPAR and re-encoding it to AC3 and it displays DD, am I still getting DTS quality? Do I lose out on sound quality now that I'm using MPAR? Thanks.

So even though it's re-encoded with AC3 and shows up as DD on my receiver, it's really DTS audio from the original file? Yeah it's weird in the MPAR audio settings, under speaker setup, I see stereo, surround, 5.1, 5.1 surround, 7.1 surround. I have a 5.1 system so I'm not sure what the difference would be if I set it up with 5.1 or 5.1 surround?

I'm plugged S/PDIF from PC to my ONKYO HT-430 receiver (MPClient). My STB is plugged in the colossus (component+RCA sound) in the TVserver in the basement.
Sorry for my English.

In the Wiki:
Graphstudio can be downloaded here:

Today is respondes with Not Found
Also, in the graph I posted, can someone tell me what the 3 color lines are?
Red is up and down while Green and Yellow are much flatter.

Links on this Wiki page are working fine.
Where did you find that link (so we can update it)?
Better use GraphStudioNext
red: Actual FPS
green: Render Time
yello: Raster offset
your red line is jumping because your screen is set to 60Hz and the video you're playing is 50Hz. Set your screen to 50Hz and playback should improve.

Sadly I wrote that code so long ago now that I forget exactly what the difference was, but the channel layouts are different...
In most media input channels and output channels are a direct mapping to the same number:
{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
Input channel 0 is mapped to output channel 0 etc.
In one of the 5.1 setups (and I can't remember if this is surround or not) the channels are laid out as follows:
{0,1,2,4,5,3,6,7}
where input channel 3 is mapped to output channel 4, 4 to 5 and 5 to 3.
Got curious enough that I went and looked it up;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound
All the speaker setups are there (there are two 5.0 setups which can both become 5.1) in essence 5.1 and THX - you can count yourself lucky I removed the speaker lists once I realised it was THX
.

Now I'm more confused
So you do you recommend I use 5.1 or 5.1 surround in the MPAR configuration settings?
