Yes, I found those links, but the programs don't work. It doesn't matter wich type of video-file I try to open, the program immediatly crashes. Doesn't it work with Leopard?

I've been using the last few of those builds without any problems on a PPC Mac.i get the same thing with tiger and this app, i will stick with VLCYes, I found those links, but the programs don't work.

I've just installed the 12/4/07 Build of MPlayer OSX and I can confirm that it works *wonderfully* with every DTS MKV I have.
Whoops, I did a cut and paste from my parameters and accidentally included the -cache switch.I too can confirm that dts mkv's work perfectly in the latest MPlayer.
ToeCutter, what does the "-cache" parameter do? (I don't use that, and they still work).

This is a critical issue for me and agree, it really does need more attention.In sharp contrast, none of the DTS MKVs I have were playable using VLC in either Windows or Leopard.
While I'm reluctant to poo poo VLC for such a seemingly obscure issue, this one has existed forever and has received virtually zero attention from the devs. The fact the community's only "fix" for the issue is to move to a different app demonstrates the need for some dev attention on this frequently discussed shortcoming of VLC.
Until that happens, it seems that MPlayer is the only DTS playback solution for Mac OS X.
Hi,
What VLC version do you use?
Would it be possible to get some mkv+dts samples that present the symptoms you have?
(or do you experience troubles with the sample here http://www.diatonis.com/downloads_dts_ac3.html )
Are you using the SPDIF audio output? Does it work without it?
Thanks!
Pierre
