Using the MPEG-2 Splitter Filter

The MPEG-2 Splitter filter currently supports pull-mode playback of MPEG-2 program streams that contain at least one of the following stream types.

• MPEG-2 video
• MPEG-2 audio
• Dolby AC-3 audio encoded as defined for DVD-Video
• LPCM (Linear Pulse Code Modulated) audio encoded as defined for DVD-Video

  Note   The MPEG-2 Splitter does not handle transport streams. For transport streams delivered in push-mode only, use the MPEG-2 Demultiplexer.

For more information on MPEG audio specs, visit http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/DVD/Book_B/Audio.html.

The MPEG-2 Splitter filter supports playback of these types when there are Microsoft® DirectShow®-compatible decoders that can handle the particular streams found in the program stream installed. For a list of the supported MPEG-2 Splitter filter media types, see MPEG-2 Splitter Filter Media Types.
