ProgDVB AC3 problem?

[ftaboy]

hello , anybody have AC3 codec problem with latest version of progdvb? because since ProgDVB6.87.1Pro i have no sound with AC3 audio track , and when i said this to the developer he said its all ok with this codec. so is it only me having problem with ac3 or any body else have??
i tried different codecs (ArcSoft , MainConcept , ffdshow , cyberlink , even as developer suggest tried AC3Filter) but have no sound with none of them.
will be thankful if you share with me your ideas , thanks..

I'm glad to send you my feedback!
To check I'm now with Progdvb 6.87.02 on RSI La1 HD (swiss TV on HB): video H264, audio AC3.
Everything OK, both audio and video.
I'm using ffdshow as codec.
I think it depends also from video codec: once a video codec (don't remember which one) blocked audio to me (ordinary, not HD channels).
Which video codec do you use?
Or you mean that the problem is in audio files AC3?

that was really good point and solved the problem thank you.
before ProgDVB6.87.1 version , i was using "MainConcept (Broadcast) AVC/H264 Video Decoder" for H.264/AVC codecs and every thing was perfect, now you said once a video codec blocked audio to you i go and changed H.264 codec to ArcSoft and unbelievably AC3 audio is back !!! its very strange Video Codec is related to audio codec...
BTW thank you very much and i will say this point to developer of ProgDVB. again , thanks

I'm very glad: I'm new here...

its very strange Video Codec is related to audio codec...

Filters must work together as a team...you can see it very well in DvbDream, that tests compatibility audio and video even before clicking OK...

Re: ProgDVB AC3 problem?

Sometimes it depends of the sound devices chosen. I mean you can choose Direct sound device or your specific device (ATI HDMI sound device, etc...)
This can make you have or not sound.
DVBDream have a menu where you can see compatibilites between your audio and video codecs. So I prefer DVBDream instead another PC Sat Viewer.
Congratulations and best regards.

Actually I was often not sure what to do (if Direct Sound or the device), because it's difficult to evaluate differences...

Anyway I prefer DvbDream and DvbViewer, I'm very sad about ProgDvb, a big story, a great program, but I think it became too complicated and impossible to clean from bugs and problems with different hardwares and Operating Systems...

Re: ProgDVB AC3 problem?

the option that you guys say check the compatibility between filters and codecs is a very good option , hope progdvb have same like this option. thank you all
