ATI All-In-Wonder....

[Quicksix]

Hi,

I have an ATI All-In-Wonder (not the 8500DV), and I am wondering whether anyone knows of a plugin or filter that will allow the playback of AC3 audio tracks in DivX movies over the S/PDIF of the ATI card. I do have AC3dec, but as far as I know, it does not allow passing of AC3 streams to the ATI card. I know that this would not be technically easy to accomplish, but I am not sure whether or not anyone has attempted it. I will appreciate any information that I can get!

Thanks In Advance!

Ati All In Wonder AC3 s/pdif output

Hey Quicksix,

You are not alone in your quest.
I have an AIW Radeon 9000pro and I also am trying to patch out the AC3 signal thru the S/Pdif connector.
I have found a great little player called "Media Player Classic" which allows you to configue the output filters to your hearts content. Located here

http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/

This player really lets you tweat things allowing you to choose any combination of decode/splitter filters however I haven't figured out which filter combination pins out thru the AIW s/PDIF spigot.

I am gonna keep at it and I promise when I find the right combo I will post my results here.

Anyone with some AIW or 'MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC' patching help would be greatly appreiciated.

Thanks in Advance

Update

Well I have had some success but I can't get the filters to stay setup correctly. I need some help.
Here is my Graphedit filter path which enabled AC3 out my All In wonder's SPDIF connector. It also worked similairly with VOB file playback just using a MPEG spiltter and DVD decoder where needed.

I was able to use Classic Media Player to run this setup.
However after other programs played DIVX and DVD content the filter path is reset. :smashead:

Where is the almighty Filter Guru?
I need some help in that department.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks This Place Rocks
