As long as I know there is a bug in ffdshow. If I use the Mixer for DolbyProLogicII and the equalizer, all movies with AC3 won't play smooth anymore. Could been seen at best in horizontal or vertical camera movements. Although there are enough CPU ressources left.

I know about the possibility of Winamp2 DSP Plugins, but these doesn't work with AC3. If there isn't any other way, can someone please recommend a complete different AC3 codec with an own equalizer?

No, I don't like MPC. A player who uses the scroll wheel not for skipping frames isn't mine. I hope on such a good player like ZoomPlayer under Linux someday. Its far more configurable than any other player I have seen till now.

After longer testing of AC3 Filter I have found out, that its equalizer have very bad quality making it not usable for me. And as far as I can see the 1.02a version of the AC3 Filter doesn't have an equalizer anymore. So its also no alternative. :mad:
