Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

Wow, I went to your website and checked out some of the projects you've worked on. Didn't know you were a programmer. Quite impressive. I don't have nearly the patience required... :-(

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

I'm glad you know your stuff. DVCPRO HD is MPEG-2 based AVCHD is not and is h.264 based. You could never pay back the raw AVCHD file, you need to convert it to something more managable like ProRess 422 which is DCT based. Right now there is no real need to play back professionally shot video in its ...

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

I have a 1080p H.264 sample here that makes the latest macs stutter, yet the same hardware in another OS plays them just fine. You have to be kidding me. Have you played with the latest macs??? I do professional video and have worked with the RED camera, worked just fine. Created using proxies in A...

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

It does have its many quirks. But it [Apple TV] works well for the rest of my family. I'm about to graduate high school and leave for college, the simpler the setup for them the better. I don't want to receive a constant stream of phone calls. Anyways, thanks for everyone's help.

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

Surround has always been working on my Apple TV. And I have a separate iTunes library with the originals (Handbrake universal preset) that syncs both my AppleTV and iPhone. My second one contains reference files with surround that plays back on the mac.

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

That's a real shame...But I rely too much on Apple software to ever consider switching back to Windows. And Windows is way to finicky for my tastes. If AC3 passthrough is really important to you and you don't mind using beta software Plex works ok. But it not my favorite so I'll stick to the workaro...

Re: AC3 Passthrough w/ Apple updates but need better solution

I've read that several times in different places but wasn't sure if it was beyond my knowledge or just not possible. You seem to be the expert on this subject so it must not be possible. The closest I thought I came to finding a solution is described below. I went to /System/Library/Frameworks/Audio...

I FINALLY managed to get DTS working with all the latest updates namely Quicktime 7.6. Now my problem is in order to force the files to output DTS I had to modify th...
