avi file with Dolby AC3 not playing sound

McDudeX · 20th June 2008, 19:57

I just got 4 Akira Kurosawa movies in 4 avi files. The first I clicked on was playing in sound only so I went here in the forum and found a post "avi playing with sound only" saying to install ffdshow. Bingo! Great Movie with Great Sound...

Now I'm at the #2 and #3 movies and I got great visuals with no sound. #2 movie has Dolby AC3:

video: XviD, audio: Dolby AC3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
audio track: -a 0 [0] -e 48000,16,2 [48000,16,2] -n 0x2000 [0x2000] bitrate=224 kbps

#3 I don't know what the audio is

I'm a newbie at movies - any Help? tia

What does GSpot say the audio is?

ffdshow supports AC3 audio decoding, make sure that support for it is enabled in the ffdshow audio decoder configuration

Bingo! Many Thanks JD. It definitely helps to have the 'Dolby' ticked as well!
