That being said, VS8 could only process Dolby AC-3 audio with a US$30 plug-in which is no longer available. Your options are either to upgrade to a more recent version of Video Studio. Or you could try converting the video to another audio format using a conversion program like SUPER. You could also visit videohelp.com where there is a free AC-3 filter which will at least allow you to receive and play the AC-3 in VS 8, though you can't then produce a video using that format. It has to be converted to LPCM or mpeg layer 2 audio.
