Do you use AC3Filter or intervideo decoder ?

AC3Filter
Codec works, but the player don't display its properties.

Options->filters, AC3 filter settings are showed. All is OK here. AC3Filter ver 0.7, BSPlayer 1.803. What are your versions ?

You should also be able to configure AC3filter through (default)
[Start] > Programs > AC3filter > AC3 Filter config.
(Further - if you really need it - you can find actual version as well as previous versions of BSPlayer here!)

hello all, I have the same problem. I got all the final versions, bsplayer and ac3filter, but the ac3 filter properties is gone. I can't make any changes I was able to do with 0.8 Bsplayer versions on AVI with AC3 sound. Even if I go to ac3 filter folder on start menu, the changes I make there don't work out on the movie.

Thanks,
Hugo

I have the same problem. Think that's the only problem i have with bsplayer. Hope it will be fixed soon!

BSPeter · #10 (**permalink**) 6th January 2004

Have you tried reaching the filter (with a movie loaded) through right-click > Options > Filters > Advanced ....?

maGot · #11 (**permalink**) 6th January 2004

That dose not have any effekt. I can only look at the codecs there. And the ac3 filter is not in the list.

BSPeter · #12 (**permalink**) 7th January 2004

I apologize: you're wright. In 803 build AC3 filter isn't shown like it did e.g. in 501 build. (Had to find a movie with AC3 sound in my collection before I could test it.)
:(

maGot · #13 (**permalink**) 9th January 2004

Thats ok! Do you think it will be fixed in the next version?

In build 803 ac3filter 0.7 certainly is shown in filters. But only if is an AC3 stream. For videos with MP3 you must use matrix mixer if you want 5.1 sound.

Nope, not with me.
Tested with 2CD-James Bond movie "Die Another Day" (XVID - AC3 48.000Hz - 2Ch.)
Played with build 501: yes, AC3 filter shown.
Played with build 803 (on very same PC) with AC3Filter selected under "For AC3 decoding use": nope! (played by Microsoft's quartz.dll)

Tested with my old HArry Potter 1 who has 5.1 AC3 audio. I'll search for an 2 AC3 audio soundtrack and test with that to.

BSPeter · #17 (**permalink**) 10th January 2004

Also tested with CD1 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (DIV3 - AC3 48000Hz - 5 Ch.) and result is the same: AC3filter again shown in build 501 and not in build 803. Build 803 only shows Default DirectSound Device (=quartz.dll)
Avicodec render details are as shown below
(Edited/Correction: Of course these are GSpot render details and not Avicodec! Thanks adicoto)

adicoto · #18 (**permalink**) 11th January 2004

This is Gspot you are talking about.

adicoto · #19 (**permalink**) 11th January 2004

And those are the filters declared by avicodec:

You're so very right of course. As a matter of fact I almost never use Avicodec, but prefer GSpot, so a very strange "slip of the typing fingers" by me indeed!
To even show you the difference better see top half (for build 501) and bottom half (for build 803) of the below picture for the same movie on the same PC. Under builld 501 AC3 filter is shown and fully accessible, on build 803 it doesn't show AC3 filter (picture shows the Advanced section).
