AC3 Machine files

Vladdy · 9th June 2002, 17:03

Having downloaded the latest besweet and ac3 machine 0.3, i have encoded a few sample ac3 files, namely music files from stereo wave files. I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong, because the files that I encode come up with white noise when playing back in winamp. I use in_ac3.dll in winamp, and for a few seconds the song is fine, then get a few bits of white noise, and then goes back to normal playback. When i play this file thru my spdif connection to my dd5.1 receiver, the DD flag comes on, but the audio is totally silent.

I haven't toched any of the settings other than the location of my wav, ac3 and besweet files.

i don't think this is a problem of the encoded file but of the winamp plugin. for i have the same problem with material directly decoded with dvd2avi. winamp just gives white noise and also shows a wrong playing time. i have not been able to use the besplit gui for this reason. the current test file is a 224kbps mono ac3.

-> where to get the most recent version of this plugin?

Try playing the file back in PowerDivx or ZoomPlayer. I get perfect playback using either. If it doesnt work on either of these apps then something is wrong with the file.

WA is know to have problems with AC3 playback for sure.
