Playing MP3s - DVBViewer vs Graphedt.exe

[Valts]

Greetings,

 

maybe someone can advise - if I understand correctly in the DVBV the filter chain for .mp3/.avi/whatnot files is getting built pretty much automatically... So my question is why the filter chain is being built differently compared to the one graphedit automatically builds when a render file is requested?

 

More specifically:

 

DVBViewer:

File.MP3->MPEG-I Stream Splitter->ffdshow Audio Decoder->audio callback->default direct sound device

 

Graphedit:

File.mp3->MPEG-I Stream Splitter->ffdshow Audio Decoder->AC3Filter->default direct sound device

 

The the obvious problem is that for some reason AC3Filter is missing from the chain if it's built by the DVBViewer. Which means that I can't do AC3 multi channel encoding. Maybe I can force it somehow to use the specific filter chain?

 

P.S. I checked out graphselector plugin but it seems that it's limited only to the dvb/dvd playback.

DVBViewer doesn't allow video/audio postprocessors to join the filter graph automatically, since there is a lot of codec pack stuff that causes trouble (turns the picture upside down, disables hardware acceleration etc), and it's hard to get rid of it if you are not familiar with DirectShow. We prefer to keep it under control:

BTW: I'd rather use GraphStudio instead of GraphEdit. It provides more information, particularly useful for posting it here and debugging (see View -> Text Information -> Graph Report Level 5 or Graph -> Screenshot).

Thanks a lot, postprocessor plugin did the trick! Actually I tried that plugin before, but somehow only remembered that it contains only video postprocessors
