AC3 Codec Troubleshooting ReportQT 7.0.4 - Nothin - imac g5 - idvd - Version: 0.3, 3/26/2006 10:12PM PST

So, cant hear anything with this with qt version 7.0.4

I assume that by burning it with iDVD on my G5 - it will be the same result once I load the disc in my dvd player? no sound?

sucks to have to go from QT Pro to lower version for this. I guess ill just watch on VLC.

AC3 Codec Commentaryuniversal binary??? - Version: 0.3, 3/25/2006 12:19AM PST

we need a universal binary, since the ac3 component won't load on mactel machines... sure, i could start in rosetta modus, but that's not really an option for me, especially considering that HDTV divx files are VERY processor intensive and won't run smooth under rosetta...

please please please update the ac3 component to universal binary, i know it's a lot of work, but the divx guys did their part, so it would be great if yoy guys followed in getting this great component up to universal binary;-)

thnx again for doing this;-)

Use the component at http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtac3codec/ instead of this component here. It works perfectly in all versions of QuickTime.

I'm just hoping they'll update soon for Quicktime 7.0.x... I like being able to play all my movies in quicktime. Excellent little piece of software, though.

AC3 Codec Troubleshooting ReportTroubleshoting Quicktime 7 Compatibility - Version: 0.3, 10/13/2005 11:25AM PST

If you want this codec to work with Quicktime 7, then you'll have to "downgrade" to 7.0.1. Easy to do, just follow this link to Apple web-site for the 7.0.1 re-installer:
