Wow. Over 8000 views, more than double any other thread on these forums.
Imagine how stupid cyberlink would be if they didn't implement dolby atmos decoding to analogue in powerdvd 16!
Let's see how far cyberlink has their finger from their pulse! Will they listen to their customers?
Maybe they've been reworking an amazing cloud app that no one cares for or uses instead....like last time.
There was a Dolby atmos to analogue thread for powerdvd 14 too. Just ignored like this one.
How long is it going to take cyberlink? Are you finally going to come through with atmos (and DTS X) to analogue in your next version?
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out what you customers want and it's not apps and ipad streaming, that's for sure!

I too would love if Power DVD could decode Atmos and DTS:X. The potential cost savings are huge and fundamentally the processing required is not that big of deal.
There are people upgrading perfectly good AVRs for a feature that is purely software driven.
Any modern PC should be able to cope, it has to be decoded in real time sure, but not at low latency.
I think the issue will be Legal/Licencing constraints. I'm not sure it's in Dolby or DTS's interest to support a product which will damage AVR sales.
Let's hope it's in the next version!

Please add Dolby atmos decoding to analogue in powerdvd 16.
People have been asking for it since powerdvd 14!
Oculus, UHD bluray support and Dolby atmos (and DTSX) to analogue to decoding is where the smart money is! 😀

Oculus rift support would be awesome

Turn off wasapi exclusive audio option in powerdvd settings.
|
|
|
The star wars battlefront game now supports atmos sound.
You can buy soundbars that are atmos enabled as well as tablets.
Here we are in 2016 and still nothing for decoding Dolby atmos or DTSX to analogue.
I think this is a big year for powerdvd. If they don't support the right formats using a PC for media playback will soon become pointless and irrelevant.
Support dolby atmos/DTSX decoding to analogue in the next version cyberlink!

The audio path is fine.
If you'd have read the thread properly you would know this.
It was discussed in the Dolby atmos thread for powerdvd 14.
Here's the link anyway.

Come on cyberlink, get this working for the next version at least.
People on your forums have been requesting this for years!

Yes it would be nice if cyberlink would throw us a bone.
Looks like DTSX, HDR and HDMI 2.0a has made most AVR's outdated again already.
If only there was an all in the box software solution that supported/decoded all formats we could buy.......
2 years later, back at the camp and nada!
Looks like powerdvd sold their high end users down the river.
might as well just buy a networked bluray player and skip powerdvd altogether if you take sound seriously.
If you like apps that you'll never use and a piece of software which essentially just passes data through to be decoded by your hardware (I.e pointless) then powerdvd is what you need!

You want to try and mess with the 4:2:0, 4:4:4 and trucolor settings on your amp too.
Might have something to do with that.

Works fine for bit streaming but not decoding to analogue.
Cyberlink in their ultimate wisdom think that apps, cloud storage and social media intergration is a higher priority than supporting picture and video formats and codecs.
Talk about taking your eye off the ball.
You'll be fine with your setup.

How convenient. 
It can't be one of the (apparently) 9 people wanting Dolby atmos decoding to analogue, looking 4000 times then?
I think cyberlink should listen to what their customers want a bit more.
I don't see any posts asking for more apps and cloud storage features that's for sure!
Look after the high end users and the rest will follow.
This would be another unique feature only available in powerdvd which would help them differentiate themselves from the competition in the market.

Look at the views this thread has had. More than any other thread in the powerdvd15 forum.
Doesn't that tell you something?
|
|
|
I'm sure your setup sounds amazing.
Did I say it wouldn't?
Did you really just sign up to the forums to post that?
I wouldn't be using cyberlink software to play through £30,000 speakers though.
I wouldn't pay £30,000 for speakers either, especially for 5.1.4.
But you pay your money and you take your choice.
I personally just don't like jumping through upgrade hoops every year, costing thousands, just so I can play back 12 wav files and a video with loads of DRM laid on top.
But this thread isn't about a pissing contest. It's about atmos support.
Any news on atmos in powerdvd?
Any staff dare to give us any scraps of info after two years of people asking for it in this version and the last one?
|
|
|
Have Cyberlink added decoding Atmos to analogue yet?
|
|
|
Thanks for the luck. I think I'm going to need it judging by the reactions in this thread.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'give up' as I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve in the first place.
Could someone from cyberlink clear this up and settle the matter, once and for all, so we can lay this to rest please?

Where are you getting your figures from? You still haven't answered my question of why bother decoding DTS HD and Dolby True HD to analogue and not Dolby atmos?
How can one make business sense and the other not?
Also there is a Dolby atmos headphone standard already.
So what you saying is it's ok to decode Dolby atmos to analogue if is for fake phasing pseudo surround headphone tech but not for real analogue outputs?
Your argument is illogical.
Powerdvd could easily just decode to analogue using a few standard atmos setups (like 7.1.4)
DTS X uses a fixed speaker layout and should also be much cheaper to license. Even tablets and phones have Dolby atmos in them but it's too risky for cyberlink to implement?
Have you seen the threads in people wanting Dolby atmos to analogue on the net?

I understand and can appreciate some of your points but if all you say is true then cyberlink might as well shut up shop now.
if they aren't going to support 4K bluray, Dolby atmos/DTS to analogue (like they supported with all other audio formats) there is no point in buying powerdvd. In fact there's no point in powerdvd. They are choosing to make themselves irrelevant in the market place through lack of differentiation and not offering many (if any) Unique selling points.
People would be better off buying a networked bluray player/media player and bit stream to their decoder/amp that way.
You say most people use powerdvd listening to headphones or speakers but these are analogue. This isn't bit streamed.
I'd assume (seeing that assumption is what your entire argument is based on) more people use powerdvd listening through analogue outputs than they do bit streaming to an amp that's for sure.
you still didn't answer my question regarding if you think it was a bad business idea for cyberlink to support analogue decoding of DTS MA and Dolby true HD? They used to do analogue decoding and now they don't?
did it make good business sense then but not make good business sense now?
there lies the fundamental contradiction in your argument.
Anyway, we are going round in circles here.
Do you work for cyberlink? How do you know how many people use powerdvd for surround analogue decoding? Are you just pulling these figures out of thin air?
why can't a representative of cyberlink just put a post up to clarify where they stand on Dolby atmos?
or is this how they reply to potential customers asking genuine questions by incognito staff pretending to be regular forum users?
Does anyone from cyberlink dare clarify their position on atmos officially? I mean we've only been asking for well over a year over two revisions of their software. If out of manners or just general goodwill over anything else.
unless you like seeing this atmos thread bumped every few weeks until either cyberlink reply or we get Dolby atmos to analogue.
by cyberlink not officially replying on here or through my messages to customer service it shows they don't want to clarify their position as they still havn't worked out wether to support it yet or not.

It doesn't seem like anyone can do it yet.
The first company to do so will make a lot of money.
I find it crazy to believe you don't think it makes business sense when powerdvd decodes all the other formats to analogue, including DTS MA and Dolby HD.
Was that an error in your opinion? You don't think the should have?
PowerDVD is a PC all in one solution. All in the box, not just there to pass through the signal for another box to decode.
That entirely misses the point and fundamental reason PowerDVD was created for in the first place.
It's supporting new features (like atmos to analogue) that no one else supports which will keep the sales coming in.
So contrary to your opinion it makes perfect business sense and follows the same logic that cyberlink applied to the previous formats as I mentioned earlier.
You need to think past your own opinions and setup.

All 9 series card have HDMI 2.0 outputs.
I think your thinking of the 4k H265 HVEC decoder. That's 960 only.

Good things come to those who wait!
All I wanted was a reply from someone at cyberlink confirming or denying if they are going to implement it.
All the nay sayers coming in saying it isn't technically possible is not true and is definitely not helping.
|
|
|
That's what I was saying when powerDVD 14 was out.
It'll be the next version but nada.
Hopefully they'll implement it soon as there's no way I'm waiting until April next year for it!
