regsvr32 3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax

[Elias]

I'm trying to run this in Command Prompt, by typing regsvr32 3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax, but it's not working. I'm doing this because I don't want the entire 3ivx package, just an mp4 splitter. Any advice?

3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax requires OpenQuicktimeLib.dll
Do you have it in the same folder with 3ivxDSMediaSplitter.ax or in your system directory?

All right, I did that and it worked great. Only one problem now: I can't playback mp4 files.

Here's what WMP 6.4 says:

Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)

Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)

Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported. (Error=80040265)

Here's what MPC says:

Any help?

[Selur]

your mp4 file doesn't contain avc video, does it?

[bond]

tick the "allow unsupported decoders" option in the 3ivx splitter

No. It even opens with Quicktime.

I've uninstalled 3ivX. I just want to use the splitter so I can playback mp4 files without installing the 3ivX package and without the need to install the entire nero package for an mp4 splitter.

You can install DivX or (recommended) XviD and they will also play most mp4 files (unless you find something encoded with microsoft's mp4 codec, I had a hard time with some of those...)

I've got XviD and ffdshow installed for the mp4 playback. It's not helping. And DivX... well, let's just say it gives me problem on my computer

[bond]

so did you tick the "allow unsupported decoders" option in the 3ivx splitter or not?

Like I said, I don't have 3ivx installed. You mean that I should've done this before uninstalling and then register the 3ivxsplitter?

1) register the 3ivx splitter (no need to install 3ivx)
2) open the 3ivx splitter in graphedit
3) open the 3ivx splitter settings
4) tick the "allow unsupported decoders" option in the 3ivx splitter

aaaaaaaha I thought you meant from 3ivx. All right, I'll give it a shot.

[Elias]

All right I did it, but it didn't make any difference :/

update: actually it works now, but not good. MPC closes down all the time, some files don't show up in their original resolution etc.

Have you tried Moonlight ".MP4" dshow Demultiplexer?
I use it in MPC and it works very fine with Nero mp4.

Yes, I've tried it. It works great with Quicktime encoded mp4 files, but it's really buggy with Nero Digital encoded mp4 files. At least for me.

Hi Elias,

Is there any particular reason why you don't want to allow Nero's filters to do your Mpeg4 (SP/ASP/AVC) decoding in all your other direct-show based software players?


Cheers

Yes. I've decided to completely abandon Nero Digital now. No offence against Nero, they're doing a good job. But I have come to the conclusion that XviD is somewhat better for quality, and it's a LOT more bugfree than Nero Digital. Especially on my computer, where it's bar none 100% bugfree. So, XviD is my main choice for the mp4 container, and as a side effect, the entire Nero Package is now redundant. Therefore, I am looking for a decent mp4 splitter

By the way, which one is the mp4 splitter of the Nero filters? Can I install that manually?

I've read somewhere that all Nero filters will reboot your PC when doing manual regsvr
