AC3Filter updates today

31 July 2006 20:33 by James "Dela" Delahunty | 3 comments

The very popular (over 600,000 downloads) AC3Filter software has been updated to v1.06a. In fact, in the last 24 hours or so, there have been three updates of AC3Filter added to the site, v1.04a, v1.05a and v1.06a. If unfamiliar with the software, you would install it to enable playing video files with AC3 audio in DirectShow based players like Windows Media Player.

Download AC3Filter from:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/ac3filter.cfm

Here are the three changelogs (and who knows, maybe I'll have to edit the article later to add another...)

Changes from AC3Filter v1.05a to AC3Filter v1.06a

AGC fixed: overflow check did not work sometimes

Changes from AC3Filter v1.04a to AC3Filter v1.05a

Extended AC3 sainty checks disabled How it recognizes AC3 files produced with buggy encoder

Changes from AC3Filter v1.01a RC5 to AC3Filter v1.04a

Bugfix release, Valex thanks Alex for a great job with testing ;-)
SPDIF passthrough did not work with Program Stream (DVD)
SPDIF had jitter with DVD
Cannot enable SPDIF with some sound cards (found on HDSP 9632)
Uninstall now deletes pis folder

Does anyone know if FFDShow 4.0.3 or higher incorporates the AC3 filter ? I did install the AC3Filter over a year ago...never updated it, but i do keep the FFDShow updated as it seems to work with everything i've come across. [ + quote]
