AC3 Audio Fun

[jksmurf]

BTW I can duplicate an error -195 on a windows share but I don't get the 0 byte file. I was testing this via my NSLU2 and obviously Samba and Windows aren't quite the same. The solution was just that the guest account didn't have the write access authorization. Martin

Thanks Martin, I'll try the newtork test when I get home, but regarding the write permissions, I've had a Bobin's moment :p (no disrepect to Bobin's). I guess the share does not have WRITE access, as "Simple File Sharing" defaults to only read access?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess I was confused by a previous post and subsequent discussions into thinking I "should" have "Simple File Sharing" enabled? At work with XP Pro this is not enabled and I can change the share permissions, which I do quite often. With "Simple File Sharing" disabled (Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View) I can add "full control to the dir", rather than just read, which I believe will now work ...

2 Q's

1. If I do this and then re-enable "Simple File Sharing" will it still work (I guess I could try that out).

2. I have XP Pro, but this site says "Simple File Sharing is the only type of sharing available in Windows XP Home Edition". If this is indeed true, how do those with Windows XP Home change write permissions on shares?

You can do it without Simple File Sharing on. I was just trying to get people with problems back to Windows defaults so that we are all talking from the same reference point. Then the tweaking can begin again, this time not worrying as much about the guest account.

If you haven't removed a necessary component through a tweak yes.

Thats one of the reasons for suggesting shrpubw on the wiki, it makes setting permissions easy. You can do a lot with CACLS too, I'm hoping that we don't have to resort to using it.

I guess the easiest way for you to test is with a VOB renamed to MPG. Note my second post for the keys to manually sync the a/v. I think will be able to sync these better but I'm going to need some DVB and ATSC samples.

My new HVR 1600 does store AC3 with the QAM stereo broadcasts in DVD format so this isn't a problem anymore. On the mvpmc forums I did get a short mpeg transport stream file and I confirmed that mvpmc doesn't decode mpeg-ts AC3 audio yet. Now what I need is a couple of 30-50MB mpeg-ts files.
