AC3 ACM Decompressor 1.4 Review
AC3 ACM Decompressor for VirtualDub
The core is based on liba52, and it works with most any ACM client (VirtualDub, TMPGEnc, Avisynth, CoolEdit, etc).

If you've never installed the decompressor before, simply right-click on
the "AC3ACM.inf" file, and choose "Install" from the popup menu. I don't
think it's necessary to reboot, but it can't hurt. If you get a scary
warning that the program has not passed "Windows Logo testing" (which
is quite true BTW), choose to "Continue Anyway."
To uninstall the decompressor, start Control Panel's "Add/Remove Programs"
dialog, select "AC-3 ACM Decompressor", and press the "Add/Remove" button.
If you have installed a previous version of the decompressor, I recommend
you uninstall the old version as described above, and reboot Windows before
installing this version. (It's probably not necessary to do all that, but
again, it can't hurt.)
