    AC3 help!

    Hi everyone. I don't even know if this si the right board I'm posting at.....
    anyways, I downloaded a movie file and the picture is perfect, but there is no audio. I ran the file through a program that tells you what codecs you need and it said "ac3 (0x2000) "Dolby Laboratories, Inc" " I can't seem to find this anywhere! I downloaded n ac3 codec but it didn't work, I don't think it was the right one. Does anyone know where I can get this from?

    "I downloaded n ac3 codec but it didn't work"

    Did you INSTALL it (Register with Windows)?

    You may find it easier to simply play the video under a software DVD player, such as WinDVD...

      Install all like this:

      Uninstalled all DivX codecs and xvid codecs,(Nimo Pack etc.)
      You can then install xvid codecs from here:
      Download the Xvid Codec, an open source MPEG-4 codec for encoding and decoding (playback)


      Then install all DivX codecs separat (Not from Nimo).
      Download the DivX ;-) codec which allows you to make and play DivX ;-) 3.x movies


      After that install Nimo Pack but uncheck all divx codecs and the xvid codec and also uncheck a direct show filter which is Ffdshow DirectShow
      Install Nimo from here:
      Download the Nimo Codec Pack, a collection of all the frequently used codecs and filters


      Now all should work fine!

      By the way,AC3 comes with the Nimo Pack.
