Dolby Digital and avi problem

[Kim Jespersen]

Hi all

I really hope someboy can help me. I'm backing up some old movies in Handbrake for a NAS streaming solution and I was hoping to do H.264 with Dolby Digital in a Windows media center compatible container. I have tried some different containers like MKV which did fine with my preferences but it didn't go well with WMC so I guess I need Avi.
I have tried to do H.264 and DD in Avi but the DD output stutter when setting AC3-Filter to SPDIF 5.1 output, when turning off SPDIF 5.1, my amp simply shows "Direct".

Do I need some drivers?

TIA
Kim

h264 is usually paired with aac or mp3 audio. you might try an mp4 container with one of those and see if it streams better.
