Moonlight Odio Dekoda

There are many software utilities that can be enhanced with compatible DirectShow filters if you are looking for support for a certain format or for a certain type of encoding/decoding.

Moonlight Odio Dekoda is an example of such a DirectShow filter that can decode several types of audio files: MPEG-1 Layer I, II and III (better known as MP3). It can also be used to decode LPCM streams, which stands for linear pulse-code modulation.

Due to this filter, you can process MPEG-2 tracks that come with lower sampling frequencies, namely ISO/IEC 13818-3, as well as the unofficial MPEG-2.5 extension.

Moonlight Odio Dekoda can come in handy to all those who want to decode MPEG audio streams to 8, 16 or 24 bits

It also needs to be mentioned that this filter features support for Quadro & 5.1 output, along with S/PDIF; additionally, you can modify the resolution of the resulting audio, while also benefitting of the dithering function, which was implemented to provide users with increased sound quality.

It goes without saying that in order to take advantage of the features of this filter, you need to be an advanced user, with expert skills regarding audio codecs and plugins.
