Finally got AC3>SPDIF to work in media portal, and it works using any decoder (MPA, descaler, NVidia)

However, I get very short skips of both video and audio (though it's kind of hard to tell about the video) every 20 or 30 seconds when playing any AC3 video. (typically divx/xvid .avi files)

The same files play flawlessly through VLC & Media player Classic.

I've searched and searched the forums and found no solution to this particular problem.

My workaround now is to use mpc/vlc as an external player but this kind of sucks because my MCE remote doesn't work with them and it looks likes I'll have to jump through more hoops to make that happen.

Anyone else run into this? I've tweaked everything I can think of in the Media Portal config but nothing seems to help. Also tried the latest biuld (oct 7, 2006) which didnt help either.

TIA,

Simulant
