Can't Do AAC to AC3 with FFDSHOW: Errors Out and Closes

[dougdude9]

Well, I have not had any luck. I downloaded another mp4 with aac audio and it doesn't work either. I posted the same problem over at the ffdshow sourceforge forums... https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow...ic/5184338

What is interesting is that someone else had the same problem, but they said it has since been fixed....

So, I downloaded the very latest ffdshow... just came out yesterday I think. However, I have the same problem.

Hopefully someone can resolve this. I have a feeling I'm not the only one. I swear this started when I went from Shark 2.x to the latest 3.6. Good thing is in doing so I fix a problem with AVI's and 5.1 audio. Problem now is what has been discussed in this thread. Too bad the weather has been nice here!!!... I've been inside for days trying to figure this one out!

Thanks,
Doug

FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!! FIXED!!!

So I got to thinking deep on this one!... what changed because I was 99% certain it was working before. What changed was I downloaded Shark 3.6 going from version 2.x. So I thought, ok, I narrowed the issue down to the ac3 encoding option which is in ffdshow. So, I went to ffdshow's site and downloaded an older version... ffdshow_rev3190_20100109_clsid to be exact. Guess what... it freak'n works now!!! I'm so excited! I had to have a drink in celebration!

Now, hopefully what fixed the avi 5.1 problem in the shark 3.6 codec's still works. I think it will because I don't think it uses ffdshow... it uses lav.

Thanks!
