Actually, I just found this link for enabled AC3 passthrough (http://geekwithfamily.com/2007/07/05/home-theater/howto-5-easy-steps-to-output-dolby-digital-from-quicktime-player/) in QuickTime.

I haven't tested Front Row yet, but I followed the instructions and opened a file that has AC3 in QT and I can confirm that my receiver was received Dolby Digital, not pro-logic.

Anybody else having problems with mp4 playback? I got audio, no video…

[mfurd]

Same problem hear with mp4. The ones I download and coverted with tubesock on youtube clips. I only get audio now no picture. But just for the stuff I converted from youtube not other mp4.

Same problem, and the problem is widespread. The videos play OK in iTunes though. But if you export them again, no video. There's a lot of discussion about this on the Apple Support/Discussion boards.

General advice seems to be: downgrade (yuk), or flood Apple/feedback with complaints and wait for the upgrade.
