Intel Byte order bug -AC-3 Encoder - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Intel Byte order bug Posted by: SonyEPM Date:12/19/2002 4:04:45 PM We have discovered a bug in the AC-3 encoder that will impact some but not all users. This slipped past both SF and Dolby testing processes. There is a bug with the "Save as Intel byte order" checkbox option. The settings are the reverse of what the checkbox state indicates. The encoder incorrectly saves Intel byte order when Intel byte order checkbox is not checked and Motorola byte order when Intel byte order is checked. If your authoring software is rejecting the files due to a byte order error, please reverse the switch from the current state and re-render. This will be resolved in the next update of the AC-3 encoder-we regret the error.
