On 2Gig+ DivX's with AC3 track, WMP9 with audiofilters goes nuts (starts playing a part of the soundtrack that was supposed to run 40 minutes earlier in the movie). sometimes WMP sproutes a dialoge that says I got a codec error (meaning the AC3).
Probbably some tired coder stored filesize/streamlength in a Signed integer.
1. Who'se responsible for the AC3 decoder code that WMP uses?
Is it part of the audiofilters package, or is the codec (dec?) something I already have in windows and that the audiofilters just hooks up to my WMP?
2. who do I blame, flame, and complain to? Logically, file IO would be handled by WMP itself, not by the codec. Possibly the codec stores some form of "stream length" that poops. assumptions assumptions...
Anyone intimately acquainted with said code/codec/problem/people-in-redmond/whatever-else-relevant?
Thanks!
