problem with headac3he

[zotteke100]

I can't get a wav file : "bad syncword at frame 202507! The AC3 stream is probably corrupt."
Does anyone know what to do?

thanks

Segboy,
iIinstalled the program Ac3fix.exe but when I click on the exe file I get a black box for not yet 1 second, and that is all what it does.Am I doing something wrong?

Did you bother to read the readme file? The usage is from a DOS box or command line prompt.

ac3fix <input file> <output file>

I am sorry banjazzer but do not know very well how to write in dos,can you help me?
ac3fix <input file> <output file>how do i write this in dos?

Ac3fix is in G:\Program Files\VCD Utilities\Ac3Fix and my ac3file is called:
G:\Film\Divx en Avi\SP2\Spykids.ac3

thanks

Suzy

This may be a bit of a problem because you are running XP, which I don't use. Perhaps someone with XP can suggest how you can run AC3fix? But you need to run it with parameters - ie the name of the input and output file, from a command prompt.

Is your filing system NTFS or FAT32?

To run Ac3fix in XP is simple, follow these instructions.
First put ac3fix.exe in the same folder as you .ac3 file

Now click on start->run. Type 'cmd' (without the quotes) into the text box tha pops up and click OK. This will start a dos command windows.

In this 'dos box' type the following:

D:<return> - this assumes your files are on your D drive
cd "\Film\Divx en Avi\SP2" <return> (WITH the quotes)
ac3fix spykids.ac3 spykids_fixed.ac3<return>

Hope this helps
