AC3/VLC/iPad question
"Greetings All, Is there a fix/work around for using the AC3 codec in VLC? I googled the question and I saw some older posts about it but their fix was to change my location to Canada (which didnt work). If I want to download and play movies that use that audio codec how do I make it work on my ipad? Use a different player (other than VLC)? Is there a more timely fix than just changing my location? Thanks"
