AC3Filter is a high quality free DirectShow audio decoder and processor filter used to decode audio tracks in movies (DVD, MPEG4 and others). It allows media players to playback movies with AC3 and DTS audio tracks. Also it can process any audio track, much of processing options allows to adjust the sound in almost any way. It is possible to upmix any audio source to 6 channels. Filter can do multi-channel and digital (SPDIF) output. It can encode any audio source to AC3 on-the-fly and send it over SPDIF to the receiver. AC3Filter Full is recommended for everybody. Can be installed on both x86 and x64 platforms. AC3Filter Lite Say NO to fat software! Only the codec itself. If you're not sure which one you need download AC3Filter Full.

What's new in this version:
- FFMPEG updated to v1.1.4
- Use FFMPEG for AAC decoding (should be less crashes because faad bugs).
- SPDIF/AC3 encoder: encode 5.1 with back channels (used by flac for instance) like 5.1 with side channels (standard for ac3).
- Serbian language added (thanks to Rancher).
- Languages updated: Basque (thanks to Xabier Aramendi), Chinese (thanks to PoYang).
- Bug fixed: some languages was reset to English after restart.
- Installer: /noicons option works now

Some virus scanners are reporting that AC3Filter contains a virus. It is just a false positive. Nothing else.
