VLC 0.8.6: DTS WAV & MPEG2 issues

[The DJ]

Just to correct.

1: DTS wav is currently broken, known issue
2: the mpeg2 file is an incorrect MPEG2 file. It's a PES file, which is not supported by VLC (other then on a Best effort basis). Save your files as MPEG PS or TS files so that A/V synchronization can be garuanteed instead of having to be guessed. The fact that other programs are good at guessing this does not make PES a good file format.

DTS wave files work fine here (NO Messages) so do DTS audio CDs. Would you please point me to the trouble ticket for this one?

OK but notice that recent versions of FFplay are able to play these files whilst VLC doesn't. FYI.

Any ideas how to convert PES files? I tried PVAStrumento, but it didn't help?

Use ProjectX to convert the file to a "M2P-MPG" file. When it's done then use PVAstrumento.

I did use ProjectX to save as m2p, but it still used the PES container?
I then used PVAstrumento (make ps) but still no go in VLC?

I only got video after demuxing with ProjectX, but that way I have to mux video and audio again?

Can you be more specific please

Hi!

I can play the DTS-WAV files but only in estéreo remix, not in original 5.1 channels for the Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sp/dif digital out.

If I play a CD-DTS the digital format is correct 5.1

I've modified all the possible Audigy configurations, but it did'nt play well.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot.

Replacement drivers for Creative sound cards may do the trick.

I tried VideoReDo, just use QuickStream Fix, and that's it...

Btw, both files are working fine in VLC 1.1.x

A piece of chance after more than four years
VLC is still very picky when it comes to play MPEG-2 though.
