  1. OK I am confused here. What are you trying to tell me here?

    reading the comments found this..

    I followed the steps and ran into the same problem finding the plist file in leopard. I looked around a little bit, and found that you dont need perian or to change the midi settings at all. In fact, you can turn on Dolby Digital passthrough and get that nice little red dolby digital light (if you have an onkyo amp) by going to the preferences while in the dvd player, it has to be stopped first, and under “disc setup” the audio options at the bottom allow you specify which output you want…and select whatever is appropriate.

    Hope that helps anyone with leopard!

    In Leopard, I’ve settled on Mplayer (1.0rc2 latest svn build, you need X11 installed for it to work). You can set Mplayer’s prefs with a command line to passthrough AC3 and DTS signals from a Mac’s optical output. In Mplayer’s prefs-additional parameters add

    “-ac hwac3,hwdts,”

    I think, I have to double check. Only way I’ve been able to get true surround sound out of MKV files on the Macbook Pro.

    Followed the steps and can confirm that this works perfectly under Leopard. The plist file is in your home library folder.

    The tip from Kyle Kolbe also works for mplayer 1.0rc2.

  2. OK I did that and in there I set it for Multi Channel. it says source digital out and only gave me two channels to work with. I am sending this audio out of my mac mini to my 5.1 A/V receiver that is using optical or toslink. So why no surround?

    Do a spotlight search for Audio Midi you will get the Audio Midi Setup utility. Check the properties for output, speaker configuration.

    And Taskbar = Menubar, Control panel=System Preferences.

  3. ok the audio is being sent out raw? I would think there would be some way to change it over to PCM or what ever. It is going out via a toslink or optical into my 5.1 audio home receiver. It says it is getting a digital reception on the receiver. But I want the audio to be 5.1 all the time not 2 channel and then when I play DVD's it is 5.1.

  4. OK I made some changes to things, check out http://www.dirtpit.tv/quicktime.html and see what you think. Also, I was told by godaddy.com that the file extension I needed was not turned on and also that being on a windows server did not help either so I am now on Linux and extension is all good. So in all it should work.

    Also, I need people with an iphone and others to test the URL out to see if it picks the right file for you to view. I just wish I could get rid of the jave script error that I see come up. I think for the most part I fixed the validation part.

    The embed element isn't in XHTML.

    Edit: And that document probably needs an XML declaration to be conformant in all contexts:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

  5. OK gang I am having an issue here. Take a look at this page. I am trying to get the quicktime to output correctly from the QT Pro page that says the following:

    This goes in the head doc

    This goes in the body:

    You can read it all here, here.

    I have done so. I also added in the page documents so I can have it following the template. Here is the code from the page.

    I also notice it does not validate either. What is going on?
