How do you locate the quicktime/library folder to add codes to quicktime? What ia an Ac3 converter for quicktime for mac?
If you are asking about the location of installed QT 'codec components,' then they are generally as follows:
Ac3 For Mac Os 10.13
1) Apple video editor installed and user third-party installed components are normally placed in the '~/Library/QuickTime' folder for 'global' use.
2) Apple system installed and some Apple 'add-on' components are normally installed in the '~/System/Library/QuickTime' folder for 'global' use.
3) Apple video editor installed and user third-party components may also be installed in the '~/Users/named_user/Library/QuickTime' folder for 'local' use by the individual users on some older Mac OS X systems (i.e., pre-Lion) but is no longer a common practice.
4) Apple system installed and some Apple 'add-on' components may be installed in the '~/Users/named_user/System/Library/QuickTime' folder for 'local' use on pre-Lion systems but this use is no longer a common practice.

This may depend on your specific work flow. I would normally recommend MPEG Streamclip (free) and the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99) for the conversion of 'muxed' MPEG-2/AC3 content in MPG, MPEG, VOB, TS, and/or similar file containers. This combination allows your to convert the 'muxed' data to any QT compatible audio and video compression format combination for which your system is configured. It also allows you to demultiplex the data to elementary data streams without re-compressing the MPEG-2 video and/or with or without converting the audio which retains the original video quality.
On the other hand, if all you want is an H.264/AAC, H.264/AAC/AC3, or MPEG-4/AAC file this is QT/iTunes device compatible, then the free HandBrake app may be all you need.
One additional note: 'muxed' MPEG-2/AC3 content is already natively playback compatible with the QT X Player as long as the data is in a file having an acceptable file extension. (E.g., an MPG or TS file extension will play in the QT X Player but a VOB or MOV extension file will not.)
