So I should not enable passthrough in FFDShow audio config, right?
Will this still give me digital out?
(Maybe I should just test it, but the wife will kill me if I mess things up).

Nope, analog only.
ReClock change speed of video rendering 23.97->25 for example, but you need to speedup audio too to prevent desync.
But how can be audio speedup when it is passthroughted to reciever?
That is why it only work in analog mode.
No acces for me.

Too bad
Currently I use ReClock with optical digital and it works fine (with Video, not TV), so maybe I should just stick with that.

Well, this is only my logical conclusion. I newer used ReClock - i am on LCD - there is no need for this and all my media plays smooth.
Maybe ReClock can decode-reencode passthrough audio by some trick, who know? But i didnt think so...
I confirm passthrough with ffdshow works fine now with dts and ac3.Hi i just tried and it seems to be working great.
With use of ffdshow and it's profiles would it then be possible to make a profile to change between spdif and sending it to tv. Or maybe a SAF setting?
Good, so now 3 users with working FFDShow passthrough - looks promising
You mean enable/disable passthrough by FFDshow profile? Yes, that should not be a problem.
But did someone manage to get trueHD passthrough?
It makes MP crash here.
Thanks for pointing me to that. i don't get a black screen, i just get a frozen snapshot of whatever the previous screen was before hitting "play", but sounds like there maybe a MP issue.
I can confirm that CoreAVC works (I tried trial) and I also found that the Arcsoft h.264 codec works too (from HD Pack 2.2).
The really strange thing is that I got BBC HD to play once only last night using PowerDVD so I know it works, but there is something strange going on when MP builds its graph, I will try out beta 19 tonight with proppage.dll changes to see if i can connect
@hoborg - are you using Win7 x64?

connect
@hoborg - are you using Win7 x64?
I have Win7 x64 installed on my working PC, my HTPC is WinXP based.
Hoborg,
Just got home and tried Beta19test4 out. I did not even need to open the graph as it worked directly THANK YOU!
Not quite sure what changed but it works, I tested with graphstudio and that works too, showing PDVD9 H.248
One question, when i quit mediaportal there are still many Haali icons left over (they go away after i move the mouse on them) and also some AC3 filter ones, I thought AC3 filter was removed in this version?
Thanks, and I owe you a beer for your hard work on SAF!

AC3 filter is not in beta 19any longer - dont you have installed it elsewher as separate install?
You need to update MP to latest SVN to fix icons in try issue.

i have used reclock in the past and you can use SPDIF out. you can either re-encode to ac3 or drop/repeat frames. I think that reclock and spdif is apparently hit and miss.
1. Re-encode to AC3: DTS bitstream -> DTS decoder -> PCM Audio -> ReClock -> Resampled PCM Audio -> AC3 Encoder -> S/PDIF to receiver
2. Passthrough mode: DTS bitstream -> ReClock -> DTS bitstream with dropped or repeated frames -> S/PDIF to receiver
Don't know how to do it in mediaportal, and i was never very succesful with it so gave up (i have 24hz display, so only needed for 23.9XX fps)
