Transcode 360 to get AC3 Support

News via RUNTIME:

Little did I know that in developing DVD ISO and VIDEO_TS streaming I’d end up with a practical solution for handling 5.1 audio. So along with a number of other goodies, I’m pleased to report that the next build will once again feature AC3 support

Just as (if not more) important is a new ‘Easy’ installation option that no longer mandates that you install an NT service, this completely avoids all the nasty permissions issues that are typically involved with services and networking.

Finally after a little perseverance I managed to find and fix a nasty AV sync bug primarily affecting US-orginating content encoded at 23.97 fps.

All in all the next build is shaping up very nicely indeed!

Now onto some admin: I’m seriously considering reorganising the testers group and opening up internal builds to project sponsors who’re interested in gaining access to early builds, testing and generally living life on the bleeding edge!

I still need to work out whether or not it would be feasible to coordinate - anyway is this something that would interest you?
