I got the mkv files to play in MC using it's default player (not sure if
WMC is playing the files itself or using WMP). However, both WMC and
WMP play the MKV files without outputting the DTSMA as does Windows
Media Center Classic Home Cinema. The difference in sound is night and day.

I guess I'm not figuring this out.
The K-lite stuff works great in Windows Media Center Classic Home
Cinema player. I get all the good sound formats (DTSMA, DDTHD), etc,
in MKV files. I'd be happy to use this if WMC would let me.
However, Windows Media Player doesn't want to play these files. I
thought I did what's stated below, but apparently not. Also, Windows
Media Center seems to want to default to WMP. It won't let me use
Window Media Center Classic as a player for mkv. It just doesn't show
up under the options. VLC does as well as PowerDVD. If I use the
Windows Media Center default then it won't find the files.

Subject: Re: [H] MakeMKV
got it installed and working...at least with Medic Center Classic on one
box. It's weird in Media Center (works on some files, not on others).
But with MCC, first time I saw DTS-MA coming from an MKV. I'll tweak
more later.

That's why you need to install both. Seriously. The biggest reason
is that some filters/decoders were never issued in a true x64 version.
Ok, now, you had commented on audio not sounding right. Here's what
causes that: FFD and LAV default to outputting two channel audio.
First, run the Win7DSFilter tool. Make sure it's not using
Microsoft's filter, but using LAV (for X264) and FFDShow for damn near
everything else.
Got it.
Ok, NEXT, Go to Klite->Configuration->LAV Audio Configuration
Under bitstreaming, select DTS/DTSHD/DD-HD (Don't bother selecting
DD/DDPlus, they autodecode just as well)
Next, open up FFDShow Audio Decoder.
Go to "Mixer" Choose your speaker configuration.
Go to Output formats. Choose the same as LAV.. so that bitstream
audio passes as bitstream. (for full HD audio)
Done.
There are others who do this differently, but this is the easiest and
most workable (IMHO).
Finally, open up your windows mixer and configure for 5/7
speakers/etc. This will have windows do the Dolby Digital decoding
(it's inbuilt one is quite good) and it auto-expands 2 channels into
DPLII/IIx by default

I don't, as far as I know. Are their any 64-bit players? Is WMP
64-bit if Win7 is?
