Location of filters for Hypercubetranscoder

[colojim]

I can get Hypercubetranscoder to convert AC3 to WAV but to convert
DTS I know I have to have avi2ac3dts.ax and the intervideo filter (which is installed on the computer), but I have not succeeded in getting Hypercubetranscoder to see the filters for DTS conversion.

I have unzipped them and installed them into the filters folder in Hypercubetranscoder but to no avail.

Where or how does one install the necessary filters so they are registered and Hypercubetranscoder knows they are there?
Thanks.

How about a batch file;

Thanks gastorgrab.
I found a utility amongst the tools section and it manages the various filters, including installing and registering.
Even so Hypercubetranscoder does not work with the DTS files.
Easier to record as a wave and covert it than all this.
Other methods (with AC3)I have tried either had so much hiss they were unplayable or they played at about 3x speed. Not worth the bother when you've got lots of other stuff to get done.

Even so Hypercubetranscoder does not work with the DTS files.

I just recently reloaded this machine and had success with the previous version of Hypercube Transcoder, but now that i've loaded the new version, it won't work at all!

Its not just you!

I think Nero 6 has bumped the filter priority somewhere but i just can't find where yet.

I know that TMPGEnc can make use of the AC3ACM Decompressor but the volume will be too low unless you use the normalize function. (in case your feelin lazy)

Yep there are a lot of interplaying details in video capture/ conversion etc.
No wonder it is a hobby and a site as large as this is dedicated to it.
I would not have learnt as much as I have if it was not for this site and the forum.
One of the strangest problems I have had to deal with is the Canopus ADVC50 with XP service pack 1 and Direct X 9.

Where I have XP and Direct X 8 the Canopus works every time.
The other partition I use has XP SP1 and Direct X 9. THe Canopus works sometimes but mostly is not visisble, despite loading 1394 filters.

You need a Linux command line type of expertise to overcome most problems quickly, and although I have a little of that experience it is not enough but I am getting there bit by bit.
