Super: encoding programs don't work?

[BleuKousuke]

I have this mkv with h264 video ,vorbis sound and ssa, srt subtitles

I tried to use super but even without directshow it didn't work.
I'm tired to to try so many programs which should do it but don't work.
My computer is packed with encoding programs and directshow filters and codecs etc that I tried but didn't deleted. so I'm expecting that's the problem.
is there a good way to organise them or is the problem somewhere else?

thanks for helping me out

How was this file created and what are you actually trying to do with it ?

SUPER "should" work because it doesn't use directshow (it uses ffmpeg and others, which are rather stable and polyvalent).

If you mean to just watch it, try VLC or mpui (which is based on mplayer).

If you're trying to re-encode it via avisynth & megui (or any other directshow app), you're gonna need a couple of things :

- An MKV Splitter : Haali's matroska splitter should be ok
- a recent ffdshow build (which will do the vorbis and h264 decoding, if configured properly)
- vsfilter (for the subtitles, but I'm not too much into subtitles so I dunno what vsfilter supports exactly, ffdshow also has inbuilt subs support which is worth trying)

The only way of "organizing" directshow filters is tweaking their merits. A filter having a high merit will be prefered over a filter with a low merit. So if a high-merit filter is supposed to be capable of decoding your file, but crashes, your system won't be able to use another lower merit filter that might work. This is the most common problem when dealing with directshow: which capabilities each filter exposes and which filter actually works with the other filters of the chain (some filters don't like working together at all). The solution to this: DSFManager :)
