ac3 and xvid codecs

[pops]

Hi,

I just bought another computer and have decided not to use any codec packs on this one since i ran in to some trouble with those on my other machine. Now I'm woundering what the best ac3 codec is for playback in winblows mediaplayer and where I can download it.

I'm also woundering why gspot says that I have two codecs able to play an xvid file when the only codecs I have installed are one xvid codec namely koepis XviD-04102002-1 _ALPHA_ Release
and the Divx 5.0.5 stand alone codec.

Grateful for answers,
Pops

Ac3 filter: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/software.htm

GSpot & XVid: one is the codec, one the video decoder, both installed with XviD (click on 'stst' for details)

Is those ac3 codecs really the best for playback in wmp? What about thev AC3Filter ver 0.68b?

It really doesn't matter what you playback with AC3.
