thanks, edgar2, I forgot that ac3 isn't supported out of the box.
correction: the summit firmware didn't support ac3 - but the sales device (with fw 42-11) supports ac3 out of the box. just checked it with two ~700mb xvid/ac3 movie files.
You must be new to the English language. "With comprehensive codec support" means that you need to have the codec installed for the specific file you're trying to play.
What are you on about? Comprehensive can either mean many or all. In this case many, naturally.
And incidentally it does supports many codecs, infact I would even go as far as to call it's codec support quite comprehensive

Are you sure that you haven't installed Decoders Support, it claims to add AC-3 support
Doesn't the forum ettiquet here require big warnings before sending someone to a package in Extras-Testing? Don't we advise most end users not to install any such files?
It seems that Nokia lied one way or another - either it supports the files in Extra's Testing for use by end users or doesn't have comprehensive codec support.
yes i'm sure i have *not* installed those packages
- afaiu, ac3 is apparently supported out of the box. i have simply updated to the sales firmware (42-11) and the xvid files with ac3 that previously didn't play, now do.
