Thank you so much! I had been struggling with getting AC3 encoded files to playback in Quicktime on my Intel-based Mac Pro as well as my iMac. Update: the easiest solution now seems to just use the VLC media player and not worry about the codecs (VLC has everything it needs included).Ĭomments from long ago: # Comment from: Brent # Update: a52 is now included in a codec pack called Perian and you can even get 5.1 surround sound out of it. It is GPL licenced and merely based on the “a52 library”. Last week, I found one that works soooo much better! To find it, I actually had to search for “a52 codec” and not “ac3 codec”. dvr-ms extension, for example, is usually just an AVI file that's been compressed by using some version of an MPEG video codec.WOW! All this time I’ve been running the wrong AC3 codec on my Mac Mini! And it's possible for anyone to rename a file without changing the file's format. Many programs create files with custom file extensions. However, there are limits to this approach. You might be able to tell the format of a file by looking at the file name extension (such as. You'll find several tools as well as useful related info. To find one, search for "codec identification tool" on the web. Use a non-Microsoft codec identification tool.

To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the Player, if possible. There isn't a way to determine with absolute certainty the codec used to compress a file, but the following are your best options: This lets you return to your original system configuration, if necessary. Before installing any digital media components, set up a system restore point. Even then, use caution: some codec providers offer minimal customer support.

Install codecs, filters, and plug-ins only from trusted sources, such as the provider's official website. Therefore, we strongly discourage you from installing these codec packs and recommend that you remove them if you have installed them and are having problems with the Player. Use caution when installing codecs that you find on the internet, particularly some of the free codec packs that claim to include codecs from a wide variety of companies or organizations. There are known compatibility issues with some of the components in these codec packs, and these can trigger serious playback problems in Windows Media Player and other players, cause system corruption, and make it difficult for Microsoft Support to diagnose and troubleshoot playback issues.
