I finally got around to configuring Vista properly so I could get subtitles (VobSub) working with CoreAVC (as I used to use ffdshow, which does subtitles natively, but I need multithreaded decoding for 1080p content - at least until I upgrade to something like the Q9450 when it's out). I say configured, I didn't actually touch anything since I tried to configure it when I initially installed CoreAVC, it just started working properly, so I'm thinking perhaps the restart I gave the system the other day might have fixed things. I also finally configured (i.e. changed settings) AC3filter to re-encode DTS audio into AC3 so I wouldn't lose the surround sound (I already had SPDIF passthrough going on for AC3, but DTS was being decoded to 2.0). As my rather old amplifier only accepts AC3. I'll get a new amplifier and better 5.1 system at some point, as I've had this one for 8 years now. I might even hook up the rear speakers, which I haven't done as I didn't want a cable to run across the middle of my lounge floor, and the cables aren't long enough to run all the way around the room.
