Right, I've had a go with the AC3 patch against DVB Patch V3.5. I modified it slightly (not stomping on anyone's toes here):
- I removed the transform.c stuff (that is apparently fixed) - I changed wantac3 to prefer_ac3 to match what was in sitypes.h - horses for courses... - I didn't remove the "enc->channels = 2" in avformatdecoder.cpp. This stopped the software AC3 from working. Is it necessary? I have two thoughts about the ugly hack in mpeg.c. Either the broadcasters here are not sending a 0x80 startcode, or the AC3 packet isn't aligned with the pes packet. Do any of you guys get horrible blockyness watching Nine HD (and to a lesser extent Ten HD)? I can make it go away completely by recording the transport stream, but I don't think mpegts.c is quite finished as I never get any audio on any channel. Maybe the pes filtering in my card is crap.
