Re: Which Audio Option To Use In Prefs?

Stereo or Dolby, depending on your personal preferences on which sound you prefer. Multi-channel requires more than 2 speakers.

Re: AC3 + AAC in QT

Sounds like it's QT. Apple violated their own specifications in QT for how AC3 works in several other places, so it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they did here too.

Re: Perian, MKV, MPEG2 = yuck

Does the pixelation only happen after a pause (stutter) in the video or in other places too? The pixelation looks like macroblocks not correctly decoded, which could be the result of a missing reference from another frame which failed to decode or was skipped. Does it have any issues if you step thr...

Re: Perian Fixes Audio but distorts the video

So... without the file, there is absolutely nothing else anyone can do for you. If you don't want to post the file, that's your choice, but don't expect any help in that case.

Re: Using Perian to convert from AC3

Out of interest, when Handbrake encodes audio and mixes down to DPLII or stereo or any other option, is it using the same code as Perian? Their initial version was copied from A52Codec (which is what I wrote) for DPLII, (DPLI is already in the a52dec library). Last I looked they are using the same ...

Re: Using Perian to convert from AC3

Correct. Though, be aware, the DPLII isn't quite on spec; since doing so requires a Hilbert transform and I didn't feel like pulling out my DSP book and writing one.

Re: Perian 1.2 no Video playback (only audio) with MKV

Open in a player that lets you enable/disable tracks. QuickTime Player 7 (pro) can, and I believe so can Nice Player. If you see the video track listed, and it is disabled, this issue has already been fixed for the next version.
