It doesn’t have any well-defined channel mappings for >6 channels, and nothing decodes it correctly. No, not even ffdshow. I know I released an encode using it once, but you know, I WAS DOING IT WRONG.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to fix these retarded files, in case you need to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fire up graphedit (or your favorite dshow graph manipulation tool) and drop the offending mkv on it.<\/li>\n
  2. Delete everything except the source file and the ffdshow audio decoder.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to the ffdshow audio decoder filter properties and enable the channel swapping filter. Map side left and side right to back left and back right respectively, then map back left to LFE and back right to back center (Warning:<\/strong> this was the correct mapping for me, but I’m not sure if your version of ffdshow and\/or your specific file will behave the same. When in doubt, use the volume filter’s “solo” buttons and your ears.)<\/li>\n
  4. Make sure the mixer filter is unticked.<\/li>\n
  5. Graph -> insert filters. Add Haali’s Matroska muxer (or WavDest (or the AVI muxer plus the file writer), if the output will be smaller than 4GB) to the graph and connect ffdshow’s output pin to it.<\/li>\n
  6. Optionally, if you want to downmix, you need to do so using an additional instance of the ffdshow audio processor filter, because for some reason using both channel swap and the mixer filter together doesn’t seem to work.<\/li>\n
  7. Play the graph.<\/li>\n
  8. Be mean to CoalGirls on the internet.<\/li>\n
  9. Profit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
