Both run AC3 audio just fine for me. Of course, I paid a few extra $$$ for plugins for the A5IMT (and got a "free" plugin to make the A5IT complete, when I bought the DVR station). No problems whatsoever running AC3 audio. In fact, the only type of file I've found so far that I can't run is DIVX. (OK, and MIDI, just to be complete) I own an Archos 5 IMT (the non-Android version, running the same firmware as the Archos 7 IMT) and also, just recently, an Archos 5 IT (the Android version).

You cannot buy the Cinepak from Archos, it is for the 704 and 705 models. Not for the 5 or 7 home tablets. If anyone has a 3rd party AC3 app or otherwise know how to get AC3 playback on this tablet or the archos 7 tablet, I would love to know how. I want to playback my divx files with ac3 audio as an avi file. Coming out as stereo through the speakers or headphones is more than fine.
