AC3 audio

[insomniac321123]

I have a video file that I'm trying to watch. It is a .avi file, but it also has AC3 audio. When I try to play it, I get video but no audio. Anyone know how to fix this?

Download the AC3 Codec. Such as this one.

i dropped it into the library>quicktime, and it still doesn't work.

I use http://n.ethz.ch/student/naegelic/ac3/index.php on my MBP it works perfectly. They have versions for Intel and PPC just pick the 1 you need.

Still nothing. Here's a picture of the file if it helps:

How about buy the DVD, it's $3.77 used from Amazon.

I have my QuickTime components in /Library/QuickTime/ (not in ~/) and they work perfectly. You are quitting QuickTime when you put these components in to pick up changes?

If the steps above don't work why not just use VLC it can play everything.
