Re: Removal question

Can anyone from Perian Support etc please weigh in on this? I really need to know that one or more components of Perian are not installed anywhere on my computer after doing these two steps. Read the post; I already answers this. This now marks the second post in which you could have easily answere...

I did [search] but wasn't aware until reading the mkvmerge pages that "headers" or "header removal compression" might be the problem That's true of the first post, but in the second you suspected that's the issue. I'll collect a few things and paraphrase to check I've got it rig...

Re: My fix for AC3 passthrough issues

So in a way you're advising against using the MP4 container, or against using AC-3 as a codec, or at least using Perian to decode AC-3? I already stated the solutions. So what am I seeing then? I think it's a header that describes a channel array order. It's describing which channels are present, a...

Re: My fix for AC3 passthrough issues

[Apple] wouldn't go all the way with AC-3, since Dolby will want their license money They already pay it in a little application called DVD Player. when AAC does perfect multichannel. Just lacking content and device support (catch-22). So if there's no channel layout specified, and Apple assume fil...

Re: My fix for AC3 passthrough issues

ITU (L C R Ls Rs LFE), and Film (L R C LFE Ls Rs) You got these wrong, according to Apple's definitions. Apple defines ITU as L R C LFE Cs Ls Rs Rls Rrs (unused channels skipped). Weriusaa, it's worse than that. There are more than 2 standards defined in OS X. First of all, these are the definition...

Re: Strange audio bug with some flv movies

Dropbox is perfectly fine. I'm getting a different result here. In scrubbing, I didn't find any audio gaps. I did notice that the video is 10:20 and the audio is 9:53. If I recompose the tracks so they length is the same, the audio sync is never lost. I'm running Perian for SVN, so some of the issue...

Re: .mov to .flv conversion, using QT 7 Pro and Perian

I cannot find a .flv option in the Export pull down menu This has been answered before. However, Apple decide what QT Pro can export to No, not it at all. We could have made Perain export to FLV, but decided against any export of any kind in order to avoid legal issues. Especially in a 15 buck app ...

Sorry to say, but it's highly unlikely that Perian is at fault for this one since it is not listed in the loaded bundles, meaning none of it's code is loaded.

Re: DTS 6.1, 7.1

The closest to the source is typically better, but in this case I think we only care about the raw bitstream since we ignore what MKV tells us and look at the bitstream to figure out the channel parameters (I think). Try the mov first, and if we still need the mkv, we will say so.

Re: Questions about AC3/DTS passthrough "hack"

I've actually never came across a stream in 96 kHz. Same. If you do, I'd love to see it. So do the settings in Audio MIDI setup need to be changed accordingly to the different bit depths (16,20,24)? No, leave at 16. The bitdepth is stored in the stream, and is decoded by the receiver, which will ta...

Re: DTS 6.1, 7.1

We tend to recommend MediaFire, but any place is fine with us as long as we can download it (even dropbox sharing). Since it is an MKV, we only need a small portion of the file. A few MB should be enough.

Perian has nothing to do with this procedure. If anything has changed, it was by YouTube.
