The VideoLAN Forums

I try and play H.264 files with DTS sound (on mac mini intel OSX via VLC) and DTS playback via SPDIF is choppy and unbearable - this is using the latest VLC for OSX Intel. Appears to be a bug in the VLC software. Anyone know if they have this down as an official bug to fix?

Dolby Digital works fine, it is just DTS that has this problem.

I am also encountering this issue on x264 720p with DTS, the client simply crashes after a while of usage.

Does DTS create additional decoding overhead if you don't use an external decoder and rely on the Mac to transcode via the SPDIF?

5 months later, problem still exists... can I donate to the project to get this resolved?
