[solved] can't get arcsoft to interface with anything (except eac3to)

Hi guys. I can't seem to get ArcSoft decoders to work in anything (even dragging dts track to ArcSoft's TMT results in error about missing decoder). In defiance of all odds, however, eac3to works just fine with it... :confused: I wanted to get the ac3 and dts decoders to work in MPC, but after I disabled ffdshow and built in MPC splitters ArcSoft decoders didn't load, instead the disabled MPC dts decoder loaded with a tag "low merit", so I think it just loaded as a fail safe. At this point I'm on the second day of the 15 day trial on version that were tested in eac3to thread and declared working (and going by eac3to reaction, it does appear to "work" somehow). I'm not quite sure how to proceed from here. All suggestions welcome.

Q1) Are you talking about dts (core) ? Q2) Are you trying to open just audio file (dts) with TMT?

Yes to both (but I also tried audio in mkv). Well in future I'd like it to play back the newer formats as well, but right now I'd settle for good old ac3 and dts playback I have from old DVDs.

You can not open standalone audio files with applications. Madshi's source filter is capable of doing this like eac3 file and dts/ac3 source filters. You can use a graph like this: best

BTW, you can use MPC-dts/ac3/dd Source (standalone) filter since it's perfectly works with DTS-HD as well:

OK, here you are: This graph is not created by myself; it's the one running behind MPC HC: As you know ordinary container source filters; neither Haali nor MPC internal source filters, never connect to an unpacked raw file. So this is what you should do; first of all register standalone mpc dts/ac3/dd source standalone filter and make these arrangements and enjoy.

Oh sorry, I think I misinformed you as to the extent of my problem. It's not just the raw files, all of my avi/mkv/etc made from DVDs that contain original track (either ac3 or dts) when played don't connect to ArcSoft decoder. Everything exactly the same as it was, only I installed ArcSoft and disabled ffdshow. I did add ArcSoft as external decoder.

Lexor, is this what you are looking for:

Just enjoy, cheers :) edit: "behind the screens" section has always been my favourite over the main movie; this is why i always go around the graph things :) and GraphSudio is my default player... BTW, thanks to Lexor as i've discovered mpc dts source filter while i've been living issues with orbitlee's dts/ac3 source filter in DTS HD raw audios like intermittent audio output :thanks:

My sample out.dts is a DTS-HD and opened with: mpc-dts/ac3 source > mpc-mpa decoder > default DS device and mpc-dts/ac3 source > arcsoft audio decoder hd > default DS device Compare them:
