Re: How do I play mpg/avi files through BTV?

Do you have an AC3 filter installed on your system?
I got a "This File Is Corrupt" message and it wouldn't play.

Funny thing is, I just tried to play a divx file (with avi extention) with ac3 audio with BTV, and suprise, suprise, it works fine!


The only thing I can think of that's diffrent from the last time i tried it is that I removed (uninstalled) that AC3Filter program that the DivX People link to on their official website.


I still have the latest nVidia PureVideo decoder installed.
I'm also running ForceWare driver Version 84.21 on my server and link machine.

So, oddly enough, having that AC3Filter installed in my setup was my problem.
Go figure...


EDITED TO ADD
I'm running my server and link machine in Overlay mode.
