Allows playback of ADTS files (normal extension .aac) in DirectShow
players. It is designed to work with the CoreAAC Audio
Decoder as
follows:
It can also be used with the 3ivx Audio Decoder.
Strengths
Fast, accurate seeking
Open source
Weaknesses
Scans the entire file at the outset. This can be slow with big
files. On my PC a local 100MB file is scanned in a few seconds.
Limitations
Won't work with files bigger than 4GB
Only ADTS format .aac files, not ADIF (these are rare)
Won't work with ADTS headers with an emphasis field from earlier
versions of the MPEG-4 standard.
Installation
Install by unzipping into a new directory then double clicking on
register.bat.
Similarly, uninstall by double clicking on deregister.bat then deleting
the directory.
Fixed "If you open
graphedit, add your filter manually, then delete
it and tries to add it again, graphedit will crash." Thanks to Michael
D. Steffensen for reporting this.
