ac3 on macintel

[necropunk]

greetings.

is there any working - first time, every time - ac3 codec for macintel?

Toast includes an AC3 codec.

What do you want to do with AC3?

i want to be able to hear my divx encoded with ac3 audio.

no vlc no quicktime no mplayer. nothing seems to do it on macintel's.

funny thing about this is that i'm a switcher.

amazing.

God, there's like 20 threads on this and the people who actually know what's up have only posted in about three. There NEEDS to be a MacRumors Guide article about this.

There is an Intel compatible AC3 component for QuickTime which works quite nicely here: http://n.ethz.ch/student/naegelic/ac3/index.php

I wasn't aware that AC-3 was broken on VLC for MacIntel.

"works nicely" - only if QT crashing is your cup of tea.

You do try the VLC Nightly Builds?

Same result here.

I'll check out VLC. Hopefully it will work, but I'd still like to be able to use front row and other QT based apps eventually.
