Need help to convert AC3 to AIFF on Mac free?

Hi Dudley,

The simplest way to do this is to use Quicktime Pro. Open the AC3 file in Quicktime Pro and export as an AIFF file.

There are few other free tools available which you can use:

1. DVD Studio Pro – http://rockbridgehosting.net/web-site-builder/

2. SimpleMovieX (need to install A52Codec 1.7.2 CODEC) – http://simplemoviex.com/SimpleMovieX/index.var

3. Ffmpegx – http://www.ffmpegx.com/

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your nice suggestions guys! All of your suggestions were good, but Eastern Carl's was the easiest and most helpful. He recommended the software AC3 to AIFF Mountain Lion, which is free to download, and will convert AC3 files into AIFF files, which is exactly what I wanted.

I can now convert those AC3 files into AIFF files, and edit them on my Mac. Thank you my friend for your simple and supportive solution.
