    AC3 codec missing..


    I'm trying to convert some video (W7 7137) using ConvertXtoDVD but the source audio is in AC3 format and Gspot says there is no codec installed..

    .. any ideas where i can get an AC3 codec for W7??

    I confirm AC3 filter works fine under Win Seven It should do the trick, but if You still have some problems - try ffdshow with libavcodec or libev52 :)

    If anyone else has this issue (I did) - just know that Ac3 Filter Full version would not work. It made the video unwatchable (choppy). I uninstalled and tried ACFilter Lite and it is perfect.

    A final option for all you guys may be to use VLC player instead, as it isn't reliant on codecs at all.
    You'll be surprised at all the ripping, converting, capturing, and streaming functions it has as well.
    VideoLAN - Official page for VLC media player, the Open Source video framework!
