| | Posted: | | | | The new audio format system was created to reduce confusion and ease entry. With that comes a loss of some flexibility, so we'd like to address that. In the long term we're considering the possibility of adding a "Custom" audio type and allow direct entry for the name and/or channels. In the short term, if there are a couple of specific compression/channel combinations we could add that would cover most of the holes, we can add them to 3.0.2.
So, what are the top missing formats? | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | Dolby 2.0 and Dolby 5.0 are both there on mine  Also, not quite sure what you mean by Dolby 2.0 -2.0 Surround = "Surround" -2.0 Stereo = "Stereo" -2.0 Mono = "Mono" All three are covered by the optional tracks, although I guess the last (mono) may not be the preferred way of displaying it... |

So, what are the top missing formats? HD DVD & Blu-ray Media Types:Lossy Audio Formats (Good):Dolby and DTS have both introduced new audio codecs. The lossy codecs are: DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus) and DTS-HD (High Definition). Native: "CD quality" PCM. *(3.0.1 DVD Profiler has “Dolby Digital Plus”)It needs the following:DD+ Mono DD+ Stereo DD+ Surround DD+ 4.0 DD+ 4.1 DD+ 5.0 DD+ 5.1 DD+ 6.0 DD+ 6.1 DD+ 7.0 DD+ 7.1 *(3.0.1 DVD Profiler has “DTS HD”)It needs the following:DTS-HD Mono DTS-HD Stereo DTS-HD Surround DTS-HD 4.0 DTS-HD 4.1 DTS-HD 5.0 DTS-HD 5.1 DTS-HD 6.0 DTS-HD 6.1 DTS-HD 7.0 DTS-HD 7.1 *(3.0.1 DVD Profiler has “PCM Stereo” & “PCM 5.1”)It needs the following:PCM Mono PCM Surround PCM 4.0 PCM 4.1 PCM 5.0 PCM 6.0 PCM 6.1 PCM 7.0 PCM 7.1 Lossless Audio Formats (Best):New lossless codecs are: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA (Master Audio). Native: LPCM ( Uncompressed PCM). *(3.0.1 DVD Profiler has “Dolby Digital TrueHD”)It needs the following:Dolby TrueHD Mono Dolby TrueHD Stereo Dolby TrueHD Surround Dolby TrueHD 4.0 Dolby TrueHD 4.1 Dolby TrueHD 5.0 Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Dolby TrueHD 6.0 Dolby TrueHD 6.1 Dolby TrueHD 7.0 Dolby TrueHD 7.1 DTS-HD MA Mono DTS-HD MA Stereo DTS-HD MA Surround DTS-HD MA 4.0 DTS-HD MA 4.1 DTS-HD MA 5.0 DTS-HD MA 5.1 DTS-HD MA 6.0 DTS-HD MA 6.1 DTS-HD MA 7.0 DTS-HD MA 7.1 Uncompressed PCM = Linear PCM (Lossless) = LPCM: LPCM Mono LPCM Stereo LPCM Surround LPCM 4.0 LPCM 4.1 LPCM 5.0 LPCM 5.1 LPCM 6.0 LPCM 6.1 LPCM 7.0 LPCM 7.1 | | | | Last edited: by Paul Hillenbrand |

| | Posted: | | | | Dolby Digital 4.0
MPEG 5.1*
MPEG 2.0*
DTS 96/24
* I think these are both covered under the current "MPEG-2" option but this doesn't distinguish between channels and also I think many users will misinterpret "MPEG-2" as referring to MPEG 2.0 rather than the MPEG-2 codec. | | | | Last edited: by Squirrelecto |

| | Posted: | | | | WHOA!!! There is NO Dolby 2.0, that is COMPLETELY meaningless. There's
Dolby Mono
Dolby 2.0 Monon
Dolby Stereo
Dolby 2.0 Stereo Surround.
The rest I agree with.

| | Posted: | | | | We definitely have Dolby 2.0 already covered.
Dolby Digital 5.0 is already in there as well. | | | | Last edited: by Squirrelecto |

| | Posted: | | | | Finally I hopefully found the right thread for this.  For me the following formats would be VERY important: Dolby Digital 4.0 (lots of 20th Century Fox classics use this, and I have many of them) as well as further differentiation for MPEG-2, like MPEG-2 Mono MPEG-2 Stereo (the only one presently included) MPEG-2 Surround I think, even if we don't contribute them of course, many of us might also manage our TV streams/"recordings" locally with the Profiler, like I do. And these have mostly MPEG-2 sound. Without the DD 4.0 and the further MPEG-2 options, the Profiler would become fairly useless to me...  | | | So long,

*clip* Whoa, thats plenty of audio formats  I think it would be better to have one slot of audio type and a second slot for audio channels. Would narrow down the dropdown list a lot. |

*(3.0.1 DVD Profiler has “DTS HD”)
It needs the following:
DTS-HD Mono
DTS-HD Stereo
DTS-HD Surround
DTS-HD 4.0
DTS-HD 4.1
DTS-HD 5.0
DTS-HD 5.1
DTS-HD 6.0
DTS-HD 6.1
DTS-HD 7.0
DTS-HD 7.1
The lossy DTS-HD version is called "DTS-HD HR" or "DTS-HD High Resolution" (lossless of course is DTS-HD MA as you already stated) | | | | Last edited: by kschmit2 |

Even if I don't know, if you do say this in English... I truly hope something will still be done about this - now, that the legal problems are solved!  | | | So long,
