    I've seen regular comments that Windows Media Player is always a good choice for playing media files. In these instances, Ive seen VLC media player suggested, but I've never used it.

    I assume you (still) have an AC3 codec installed...?

    Well, actually the only AC3 codec I installed is the TMPGEnc plug-in, so I suppose I have one.

    If in doubt, Google it.

    You can check what codecs you've got installed with AVICodec. It lists all audio and video codecs, as well as other types that I can't remember.

    I'm not sure if the plug-in includes a codec, or whether it's just to allow encoding to AC3 - I've never used it, and don't know anything about it.

    jimmalenko's suggestion is a good one.

    It plays AC3 audio ONLY in TMPGEnc! AVICodec tells me that I have AC3 decompressor installed.

    In that case, I'd say you're set to play AC3 audio - so I'll say to try a different player.

    I'd suggest that WMP can't use TMPGEnc's AC3 codec, hence the need to install AC3filter. You can always uninstall it if it doesn't work, right ?
    If in doubt, Google it.
