Vista 64-bit and WMC Codecs H.264 - Any help appreciated!

[eschreib]

Any ideas? My problem is that I am unable to play my MPEG-4 packaged videos in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista Ultimate. I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed on a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz dual core CPU.

Most of the media I am trying to access are from DVD’s which I trans coded to H.264 using Nero recode (Nero Digital AVC – HDTV profile).

I can see the thumbnails and times, but when I try to play them I get either a codec missing error or usually they just play green interlaced garbage.

I have installed ffdshow 64 bit (ffdshow64-rev2546.exe ), which seemed to help, and I have tweaked the registry of course to recognize the file extentions. By the way, everything plays fine in VLC and even play fine in WMP 11, JUST not in Windows Media Center.

In advance, thanks.

Have you tried the ffdshow-tryouts 64-bit version? The original isn't entirely vista compatible, the new one is. I don't know if it'll fix the thumbnails, I don't know if anyone's tested that yet, but it does play videos.

Indeed, i tried : ffdshow64-rev2546.exe

That is the old one. Look in the ffdshow tryouts topic for a more recent one made by Dr Pizza.
