I haven't looked at this thread or tried streaming surround files for a while as my wireless network just wasn't up to it.
But I've just bought a Belkin MIMO router that was able to stream DivX files to my PS3, so I thought I'd give this a go again. What I found is that my Sony surround receiver, that's about 8 years old, does not seem to reliably decode AC3 files(converted to WAVs, then FLAC'd), but does handle DTS files. I've downloaded AC3 files from Kelly industries to ensure it's not my ripping method, but the amp doesn't like them either. Sometimes the surround light comes on and the display tells me the amp has got a DD5.1 file, but I get no sound. Most times, I just get stereo output. However DTS files, either downloaded, ripped from a DTS-CD, or ripped from a DVD work no problem. I'm wondering if the SPDifConvert tool that Steve wrote can take an AC3 file but change some header bits so that the amp is told it's a DTS file in the WAV header info. Would that work or are they completely different formats? -- oreillymj ------------------------------------------------------------------------ oreillymj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=699 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19260 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
