Title: Dolby surround in your headphones !
Post by: kara on November 22, 2006, 04:02:53 PM
I don't promise anything but 'DH wrapper VST' does !
Overview:
"DH Wrapper" is a VST plug-in that processes 5.1 surround sound content and outputs 2 channel binaural signals. The result is, surround sound through headphones. "DH" stands for "Dolby Headphones" as this VST plug-in wraps the functionality of the "DOLBYHPH.DLL" file installed with software DVD players. In fact, even the demo version of WinDVD installs a fully working version of the needed DLL file.


Concept:
The idea for this project began after Chungalin wrote a plug-in for Foobar 2000, doing the same thing. Tasty Mousakas wanted a real-time solution to experiment with surround sound, and so decided to write this VST version.


Details:
It is based a Windows based, version 2.4 of the VST standard, does not support 64-bit platforms, or 64-bit processing. There are 6 inputs and 2 outputs to this plug-in. The inputs correspond to Front Left, Front Right, Centre, LFE, Surround Left, and Surround Right, while the outputs are Headphone Left, and Headphone Right. Acceptable sample rates are 48000, 44100, 32000, 22050, 16000, 11025, and 8000 samples per second. There is only one parameter, "Room Type", and that only has three options: Small, Live, and Movie Theater. As the names suggest, these adjust the size and characteristics of the virtual listening room used for processing.

I would love to hear some comments on this
