I tried to find in the QuickTime forum about this topic but no success. I received this message trying to watch a movie: This file contains a track in the Dolby AC3 Audio (code '8192') format.
You may need to install a DirectShow decoder for this audio format in order to hear the soundtrack of this file. The problem is that I visit about 15 discussions webpages about this 'AC3 Audio (code '8192')' and what I really got? Nothing that really worked. What I found was for PCs, codec in.exe and so on, but for the Mac, zero. I even bought DivX for Mac and it was a deception. I looked at Apple/QuickTime/Components and I was again at DivX page.
The 3ivx decoder plays back most MPEG-4 variants (including DivX 3,4 and 5. The 3ivx decoder produces noticeably higher quality. Windows version of the decoder includes an AAC audio decoder for Windows Media Player.
