Reviewing 1.46 (Aug 18, 2007)
**There was a problem with the Installer of the first release of v1.46 and it has been modified. I recommend going to the Homepage to make sure you get the correct version.
I can't find any issues with this software. I have since switched to FFDshow and can't find any issues with it so I'm staying with FFDshow for most of my audio and video decoding needs in one package.
I noticed in the past that AC3filter would cause certain Divx encoding programs to fail unless 24-bit was changed to 16-bit. I can't remember if it had to be STEREO as well. I'm pretty sure the official Divx Converter was affected.
I don't know which program is at "fault" so I can't take marks off.
Anyway, AC3filter is a great audio application which is comparable to FFDshow's audio components. People's audio needs vary so I'd try both but I recommend leaving only one installed.
