Anyone get Front Row/Quicktime to work with ac3 sound?

I've searched and searched and tries various codecs and components, but I still can't get quicktime or front row to play sound on .vob files or mpeg-2 files with ac3 muxed in audio.
Video plays, no sound.
Has anyone cracked this?

QuickTime is hopeless at playing surround sound, it is hopeless at doing multiple audio tracks, and is hopeless at doing subtitles.
VLC, and even Windows Media Player (for Windows) do a better job.
However, there is one small hope for Mac kind. FrontRow 2.0 as will be included with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will add the ability for FrontRow to play VIDEO_TS folders (that is copies of DVDs). It will not however use QuickTime to do this (as detailed above QuickTime is useless at this), instead it uses the same DVDFramework that the Apple DVD Player application uses, and therefore like the DVD Player will be able to do AC3, multiple audio tracks, and subtitles.
Apple should be embarrassed over the fact that QuickTime; supposedly God's gift to multimedia is a hindrance and not a help in this area.
Note: According to Apple's website, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will include the same QuickTime 7.2 version as is current in Tiger, therefore we will not see any improvements in QuickTime in Leopard (at least not at the time of Leopard shipping).

Anyone get iZotope Vinyl UB to work with the following...?
I keep getting an error -1 when I try to load it in Logic pro. I tried emailing iZotope about this but never got any response. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running:

Vinyl 1.7.3 loaded and ran fine on my system. Try removing the AU and any supporting files and receipts and re-installing Vinyl again.
And, yes, Vinyl is UB (don't know what possessed a13 to ponder otherwise).

Anyone get Sharp AL-1655cs MFP working with the IMac

Has anyone got the required drivers or workaround to get the Sharp Al-1655cs printer working with iMac or Macbook Pro. Ive been searching and have yet to find a MAC OS compatible driver but am wondering if someone has figured out a way to make it work?

you say no application
the way I normally scan is that I go into system preferences
click print & scan
there on the lidt of pritners he show my samsung all in one laser pritner thingy
then I click on the Scan in the right tabcontrol click open Scanner
that bring up what I assume to be a samsung gui dialog where I can preview and set dpi and the likes
then when I click scan it scan and send the image to Preview (the app called priview)
have you tried it that way rather then trying to access the scanner from other apps ?
back in the day scanners used a system called TWAIN which was not IP network related prob not even usb
some old apps or strange apps could still be looking for a wired system using that interface

Front row doesn't work with both apple+esc and remote

My new macbook can't open front row, not with the remote, and with apple+esc, could it be a file that i have to delete and then restart the computer and that that file automatic comes back??

If, for whatever reason, Front Row isn't in that location, you'll have to re-install it. This shouldn't be a big deal except I'd be a little curious to know why it disappeared...
Insert your original Mac OS X install disk that came with your Mac. You do not need to startup from the disk. Double-click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" option on the disk. At the "Installation Type" window of this installer, click the "Customize" button. This will give you a list of software to check on or check off. Check on the option for Front Row but uncheck everything else (unless there's something else missing that you need!). Run the installer and this should put Front Row back in its proper location. Depending on which version gets installed, you may wan to run the Software Update to make sure Front Row is up-to-date.

Front Row doesn't work with my Intel iMac

I've had my ICD iMac for about 2 months. It used to work, but now when I push the 'Menu' button nothing happens.
I've rebuilt permissions and restarted.
If I'm running iTunes I CAN move forward and back tracks.
Any ideas?

Have you updated Front Row to 1.2.1?

Another option might be to install the 10.4.6 combo update.

Front Row no longer works with Airtunes

May I add my voice to a retrograde step from tiger to leopard. I now no longer proudly show off front row when I play music in my bar since leopard only plays front row directed music through the imac speakers and not air tunes.

Same problem here. I hoped the issue would have been solved with the 10.5.2 update, but alas.. no.
I already posted a 'feedback', think I will do it again. Please Apple, fix this; what's Front Row worth without AirTunes?

Front Row Doesn't work with iTunes

I liked that Front Row in Tiger was basically a front for your iTunes. Now they are separate. If you're listening to iTunes and launch front row, you have to start your listening over. That's stupid! Why would Apple do that?
That's the main function I used front row for. I don't want my listening experience to stop when I de-activate front row. Forget that.

Yay! I'm happy. This worked:

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

There's a new driver bundle for OSX 10.6 that you might need to install, the HP link seems to be failing at the moment but there's a version of it here: HP_Installer_Scanjet_v2.4.3_Ph4.dmg
There's a piece on the HP Forum about it here (some folks have problems installing ...)

Get Front Row to play from HVDVD_TS folder

How can I get Front Row to play content from a HVDVD_TS folder. It works great with standard VIDEO_TS folders (under Leopard/Snow Leopard) but it doesn't seem to recognise my DVD Studio Pro generated HVDVD_TS folder.
Thx!

I have the same problem with remote control device (infrared) and FrontRow as many other users, see links below.
And yes, I have tried all the described "remedies", but the problem is still there.
The problem is that after boot, FrontRow reacts to the remote ok (about 10-15 minutes), but then
FrontRow stops responding to remote control commands. However, FrontRow can be controlled by keyboard
commands all the time. If iMac is now booted, the problem is still there. The only way I have had FrontRow
and remote work ok (for 10-15 mins) is shutting down iMac, waiting an hour or so, and then booting it. I'm just
wondering is this hardware problem (related to e.g. temperature ?), problem with FrontRow itself, or problem with
related daemons. Anyway, I hope that this is sw problem, and Apple could fix quite soon in next FrontRow or Mac OS X
update. Otherwise, I'm 100% sure to replace my iMac because of this stupid little bug (that seemed to be the only
working remedy).

Front Row won't work in my user account

So I have followed the threads about non-working Front Row. Mine worked at 1st instal, but when I loaded a a bunch of MP3s into iTunes and then went to Front Row it spat the dummy.
I did as one poster suggested, made another user account; logged in, and Front Row worked immediately. Going back to me as the user, it wouldn't work.
As I understand it, this behaviour points to a preference file problem (?). If so, how does one correct the file problems (editing, delete etc).
I did an archive and instal - same problem
I did an erase and instal - same problem
I trashed the 1.3 update and attempted to re-instal it thru Software Update - but it didn't show as available, altho other software appeared.
From all this, can anyone give me some advice on what I do now? Many thanks for an information.

An update for anyone viewing.
I used the Apple-Esc combination from the keyboard and Front Row worked! But only once.
I came across a topic that suggested "pairing" the remote to my computer by aiming the remote at the Apple logo on my machine, 3-4" away, and pressing the Menu and Fast Forward buttons simultaneously. And that worked! And its continuing to work!
Now, after I'm finished my session and I get back on my machine again - the trick is for Front Row to continue working.
Hope these hints help anyone who might have my problem.

The front row is not working. Remote control not triger,

Front row is not working, Remote control no response, command-esc not triger as well.
check keyboard shortcut from system preference, there is no front row.
anyone know why?

Ok first try it in another Account.
1. Open the account system pref window (System Preferences > Accounts)
2. Click the plus button at the bottom
3. Specify an account name (ex: test)
4. Add account
5. Logout of your current account, and login to the newly created one
If it works, then something was wrong with your account, move your files to the new account, and delete the old one.
If it did not work:
1. Try the reinstall again (DO NOT DO "ARCHIVE AND REINSTALL", as this may keep some file that is hindering FR from operating correctly
2. Make sure the FR file is in the Core Services Folder (Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
3. Make sure that you do not have the IR sensor turned off on your computer (System Prefs > Security > Uncheck "Disable Remote Control IR Sensor")
4. Make sure that your remote is paired (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302545)
5. Make sure that the Command + Esc key is setup to respond by opening front row:
(1) Open system prefs
(2) Open keyboard & mouse prefs
(3) Click keyboard shortcuts
(4) Scroll down until you see front row
(5) Assign the Command + Esc key if it is not mapped
6. Finally, if all else fails, call AppleCare while your computer is still under warranty
Hope this helps,
Cory
