[QUOTE="dir, post: 523009, member: 24485"] Thanks, will check in a few minutes I can't believe how confused I am here. I've been playing with these things for YEARS and consider myself in the top 5% of techie users. From what I can tell, the AC3Filter bits have been removed from the latest RC1 release. It's not mentioned in the initial pop-up when installing SAF4.00RC1, and the pictures in the first post of this thread are all outdated. This has led to me spending the last 2 hours trying to get things working that clearly won't work. The 1st post mentions that AC3 passthrough will only work when it's enabled during SAF installation - but there's no option to do this and no explanation as to where in the setup you're supposed to do this. The 1st post also says not to ask the author any questions about DTS etc. because he doesn't use them - so what am I supposed to do? SAF clearly understands AC3 passthrough for DTS etc. as of beta14 yet there's no explanation how to enable this and a warning not to ask about it. The screenshots are all wrong. Uninstalling teh app causes all sorts of other things to be uninstalled. And the link to the QuickTime stuff sends you to a commercial site that demands that you register and give your email, then gives you a 'trial' version. And if you try using the QT-Lite that's mentioned here a few posts back, it tells you to uninstall QT Alternative first. But even after you install this, SAF doesn't see it installed. Another dead end. Totally confused. So much for a "All In One" package. I used to read this thread to keep up with things, but it's 300 pages long now. I've used the "Search This Thread" tool extensively. I don't get much out of that, so I'm going to read the last 50 pages to see if most of the problems are answered there. That'll take me another hour or so. Is this really what's expected of users - to read every post across 300 pages to find answers? Really, it would be so much greater if someone completely redesigned the 1st post so that it gives simple instructions, unpolluted by incredibly technical side-matters and populated with a million details.
