OK, your mplayer version isn't the newest, indeed, the code to support of ac3 output on macosx was commited just after the 1.0rc2 timestamp. But you can found the usable version of mplayer in the MPlayer OSX 1.0rc2 in the mplayer's download page, it use some later code of mplayer, and have many very useful improvements.

Grabbing the latest source I was able to have success. I must have gotten an old copy by mistake. Thanks! For the help of other Mac folks...

download: http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/rel...apshot.tar.bz2

bunzip2 mplayer-export-snapshot.tar.bz2

tar -xpf mplayer-export-snapshot.tar

cd mplayer-checkout-2008-05-04/ (or the date from yours)

./configure --disable-x11

make

mv mplayer ~/bin

rehash

mplayer -ao macos -afm hwac3 -channels 6 Video.avi

I can't explain why, but I did not have success with the Mac GUI build from the site. I tried both the "latest" and the 080327 downloads. Other folks have indicated success with those, I cannot explain why I did not, but when I did my own compile it did.

Please stop post new topic, you should 'reply'. About your problem, I suggest you use the MPlayer OSX 1.0rc2 package on mplayer's download page. And you can use your own build of mplayer to overwrite the one in the internal of the MPlayer OSX.app, the path is MPlayer OSX.app/Contents/Resources/External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/mplayer for you.

a) as I said in the previous message, the Mac OS X package did not work for me b) I was not replying b/c I subscribe to the list in digest format, I thought replying would make it hard to track the thread, but as you asked, this time I have replied, however now I suspect the subject line will be corrupted. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live SkyDrive lets you share files with faraway friends. http://www.windowslive.com/skydrive/overview.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_...
