What is a .MLP file?
MLP (Meridian Lossless Packing) is the lossless audio technology behind Dolby TrueHD.
- Did you know
- MLP was first used on DVD-Audio discs and later became the basis of Dolby TrueHD.
- MLP was developed by the British hi-fi maker Meridian Audio and is also known as Packed PCM, typically squeezing music by about a third.
- Dolby licensed Meridian’s technology to build Dolby TrueHD, the lossless soundtrack format used on Blu-ray discs.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify Dolby surround codecs - Digital Plus (E-AC-3), TrueHD, MLP, and Atmos - with channel-layout detection (5.1, 7.1).
- Depth of analysis
- .MLP is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .MLP file
- Drag a .MLP file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
