x264 matroska problem

[PurpleMan]

Hello everybody.

I have x264/ac3 matroska files that I'm unsuccessfully trying to play with various directshow players.

mplayer classic and windows media player complain about no video codec.

if I try to render the file using Graphedit it only renders the audio, and leaves the video pin from the splitter not connected to anything.

However, if I manually add ffdshow to the graph and connect it to the video pin of the splitter, it DOES connect, and I can play the graph (and hence the file).

Any idea why it won't connect automatically when it's trying to parse the file w/ directshow?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.-
ffdshow IS set to decode x264 content.

is your video card correctly configured? have you installed any codec packs / done any filter registration tweaking yourself?

well I installed the matroska pack.. but other than that nothing I can think of.

I used the matroska diagnose tool to show me the directshow rendering process.. it doesn't even try to connect to ffdshow... just a bunch of seemingly unrelated filters like directvobsub and cyberlink mpeg2 codec

I'm really stumped.

could be a problem elsewhere in the dshow list. Download the CCCP Insurgent from cccp-project.net and post up a system log and a test render of said file. Note the test render will reveal filepaths.

Matroska pack is outdated and is no longer recommended. Please use CCCP pack instead.

imho, you can uninstall the whole matroska pack, and use ffdshow latest version instead. good luck

ffdshow does comprise a matroska splitter now ? I've been away some time, but this is the first thing i hear ?

[KoD]

It does not. The best splitter for matroska right now is the one from Haali.
