VirtualDub no audio decompressor

[hcs]

I'm struggling with the same problem as many others. I finally found AC3.vdplugin which I copied to VirtualDubs plugins32 folder and thought that this would cure the problem but it didn't. It says in a text file that it should be a .vdf plugin file. Where can I find it?

"AC3.vdplugin" allows VirtualDub to *import* an AC3 stream for muxing it into a new AVI file.
What you're looking for is the AC3 ACM codec.

P.S.: FWIW, AC3Filter also includes an AC3&DTS ACM decompressor.

A .vdf is normally a filter file. Audio codecs go to a different location that are accessible by all programs, AFAIK.

Try AC3 ACM Codec.

I installed the AC3 ACM codec but I still get the error 'no audio decompressor could be found ... (source format tag 00ff)

TwoCC 0x00ff means AAC. Then you need the AAC ACM codec.
