	Version history: Version 1.4 (September 22, 2007) * Fixed an A/V sync problem when encoding 44100 Hz AC-3. * If you insert AC3ACM into a DirectShow filter graph as an AC-3 encoder, it chooses a default bitrate based on the number of source channels. The default is (96 * nChannels) kBit/s. I've added an option in the driver configuration dialog which allows you to change the default to (64 * nChannels).

	Thanks for this very useful software! Posted January 05, 2008 by neels. Tool version 1.4 using OS WinXP Ease of use 9 of 10 Functionality 9 of 10 Value for money 10 of 10 Overall score 9 of 10
	This is a great little program. It couldn't be simpler, and with good results. No doubt there are better programs, but for the money (which is none!) the results are good. I use it in conjuntion with ProCoder (which doen't output to AC3) and Encore to create good quality DVDs. Only down side is it can only handle 2 channels and you can't seperate them to output two single channels. Posted January 25, 2006 by kingtim.

	I didn't think this codec would be of any more use than several others I tried, but I am very HAPPY to say I was wrong. It worked great! And it works with virtualdub which has been an invaluable tool! THANKS SO VERY MUCH! Posted April 01, 2004 by tekterri.
