does anyone know of a way to decode the raw files on Mac?

second question, is there not an LFE in the DTS mix?

I would suggest virtualization, except I'm not convinced the plugin works within a virtual machine. I tried Winamp 2.91 in Windows XP mode within Windows Virtual PC and it worked, but the plugin wouldn't and spat out an error. A quick online search of the error message showed some software won't work with Virtual Machines, something to do with certain processer features not being available or something (I forget exactly, as I just went and used a different computer).

Perhaps someone you know who has a Windows machine? The process of decoding them is actually very quick, takes a few seconds per channel of sound from each reel. I'd make a torrent of the decoded tracks in RAW PCM or WAV so those who don't have Windows can have a play with these files, but with my upload speed it would take a very long time to seed it.

thanks for the info. at the moment i only have wine installed on my Mac, so i'll start with that.

actually i do have a 5 year old Dell laptop in my closet. it no longer connects to the internet, so hasn't had updates in a few years. but i'll download the software to my Mac and take it over on a thumb drive and see how that works.
