Windows Media Player 12 WVC1 Subtitle Playback Issue

[ckrisasa]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi All,

I'm sick and tired of dumping all types of codecs and after going through a lot I finally narrowed down to below described setup. It may sound wierd but it's working just great until recently.

The Setup:
Windows 7 32-Bit, Core AVC H264 Decoder, AC3 Filter, VSFilter, XVid

I love the Media Player 12's contrast levels. Can't resist appreciating it's black levels while playing a video.

I have Bluray rips collection and most of them are H264 coded files in an MKV Container. And I either embed the Subtitle file within the MKV or outside.

Recently one of my Bluray Rip which is encoded with WVC1 instead of H264 made things harder. The video(neither video/nor audio) won't play. And I did what not to figure the issue and the fix was darn crazy.
All I had to do was, to remove the subtitle file and the video and audio started playing just great.
As soon as I place or embed the subtitle file the seek bar just stays there.
My processor is AMD Athlon X2 2.0GHz. I have Nvidia 9600GT card where CoreAVC takes advantage of its CUDA.

When I tried VLC Player to play WVC1 encoded video with subtitle, it worked just fine again. But that's not what I want.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
A.

Hi!Recently one of my Bluray Rip which is encoded with WVC1 instead of H264 made things harder. The video(neither video/nor audio) won't play. Does your original, commercial Blu-ray disc play properly on the same system?

No clue! I haven't tried the source on my PC as I don't have Blu-Ray Drive in it. The laptop which has BD-Rom Drive is no more with me to try that. I wish I had posted this question little earlier.
This is driving me insane. I never even thought that a subtitle file would make such a damage!!

I spent hours searching for a fix over the web and I used Badaboom2(CUDA Accelerated) and it took just 4 hrs in converting the VC1 to AVC!! Wish I knew this earlier!

Problem solved!!:thanks:

One thing which tossed me was, it took 12GB L3 VC1 Stream @ 14 Mbps bitrate and converted it to 14GB L4.1 AVC Stream @ 20 Mbps.
