I have installed 3ivx codec and now when I try to open MP4 files encoded with x264 I receive this message:

I don't understand; before installing 3ivx I can see these MP4 files with ffdshow without any problem.

The 3ivX splitter doesn't support AVC and I guess it is being used instead of whatever splitter you were previously using.

What could I do to resolve the problem?

Try haali's media splitter.
http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/

check *.avi and *.mp4 support when installed.

If you still have problem play *.mp4, get a recent build of ffdshow from celtic_druid.

=> ffdshow-20050920-fixed.exe

That would work fine as long as Haali's splitter had the higher merit. If not then 3ivX would still be used. Best bet is probably just to unregister 3ivX's splitter since it can't really do anything that Haali's splitter can't.

Haali's media splitter works fine.

Thanks

Don't use ffdshow-20050920-fixed.exe, it has missing lib .dlls, it will only annoy you when you need it (libfaad2)

Keep your eye on http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=98600 (New ffdshow build (?) ) for a new build.

it's aac-decoder, right?

One of ffdshow's aac decoders. It also includes realaac and if you install over an old build then you will still have libfaad2 from that which hasn't changed anyway.
