This plug-in makes it possible to decode and encode in Dolby® Digital (AC-3) 2 channel audio with products that do not support such a feature by default.
Our current software products have this feature by default, but users who are still using our older products can purchase this plug-in to add Dolby® Digital 2ch support.
The plug-in is for use ONLY with the following products:
All newer products do not require the plug-in for Dolby Digital decoding and encoding.
