Hi,
I've been searchin" but couldn't find an answer to my problem,
first, I can't play raw h264 files anywhere while they play from mkv / m2ts / mp4 muxed stuff, I'm using mpc 6.4.9.0 + coreavc + haali's media splitter, is it just that it can't be done ?
Then I tried to load a mkv file with h264 video in virtualdub mod, h264 vfw stuff is enabled in ffdshow and I added the registry key (vidc.h264 / ff_vfw.dll) but I only get a garbled bunch of lines with the error
"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'ÿÿÿÿ' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec ..."

Finally, for some reason I'm having an issue with mpeg2 streams too, I registered gabest's mpegsplitter and set it to the higher merit (I disabled the mpc internal mpeg splitter so mt2s files are handled by haali's) actually mpeg2 stuff plays ok in mpc (correctly using gabest mpegsplitter) but if I render the same file in graphedit (or wmp 11 or with a directshowsource with avisynth) it uses microsoft's mpeg2 demultiplexer and it plays some frames then hangs, tried unregistering microsoft demultiplexer but it still doesn't use gabest splitter :/
could someone help ?
Thanks

Then I tried to load a mkv file with h264 video in virtualdub mod, h264 vfw stuff is enabled in ffdshow and I added the registry key (vidc.h264 / ff_vfw.dll) but I only get a garbled bunch of lines with the error
"Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'ÿÿÿÿ' (unknown).
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatible codec ..."this is propably because it is a native mkv (aka "a good mkv"). virtualdubmod only support vfw-mode mkv files (aka "a bad mkv")

Finally, for some reason I'm having an issue with mpeg2 streams too, I registered gabest's mpegsplitter and set it to the higher merit (I disabled the mpc internal mpeg splitter so mt2s files are handled by haali's) actually mpeg2 stuff plays ok in mpc (correctly using gabest mpegsplitter) but if I render the same file in graphedit (or wmp 11 or with a directshowsource with avisynth) it uses microsoft's mpeg2 demultiplexer and it plays some frames then hangs, tried unregistering microsoft demultiplexer but it still doesn't use gabest splitter :/
