Hello everybody,
I'm trying to play back my DVDs using ZoomPlayer (ZP). I've installed AC3Filter by Valex and the Elecard Mpeg2 Decoder Filter. When checking the option "use automatic dvdgraph" in ZP, then DVD playback would not start, but blank for a millisecond and then show the background again. So I built my own DVDGraph-File and tried playback. I used the following Graphfile:
LoadFilter({79376820-07D0-11CF-A24D-0020AFD79767},Default DirectSound Device)
LoadFilter({70E102B0-5556-11CE-97C0-00AA0055595A},Video Renderer)
LoadFilter({F50B3F13-19C4-11CF-AA9A-02608C9BABA2},Elecard_MPEG2_Video_Decoder)
LoadFilter({A753A1EC-973E-4718-AF8E-A3F554D45C44},AC3 Filter)
LoadFilter({853638F2-28C6-4BCB-A3BA-2FBEA7790BBD},Subpicture_Decoder)
LoadFilter({CD8743A1-3736-11D0-9E69-00C04FD7C15B},Overlay Mixer)
LoadFilter({9B8C4620-2C1A-11D0-8493-00A02438AD48},DVD Navigator)
#LoadFilter({9BC1B781-85E3-11D2-98D0-0080C84E9C39},Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder)

ConnectPin(DVD Navigator,AC3,AC3 Filter,In)
#ConnectPin(DVD Navigator,Video,Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder,Video In)
ConnectPin(DVD Navigator,Video,Elecard_MPEG2_Video_Decoder,In)
ConnectPin(DVD Navigator,SubPicture,Subpicture_Decoder,In)
ConnectPin(AC3 Filter,Out,Default DirectSound Device,Audio Input pin (rendered))
#ConnectPin(Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder,Video Out,Overlay Mixer,Input0)
ConnectPin(Elecard_MPEG2_Video_Decoder,Out,Overlay Mixer,Input0)
ConnectPin(Subpicture_Decoder,Out,Overlay Mixer,Input2)
ConnectPin(Overlay Mixer,Output,Video Renderer,In)

Now after pressing the play-button, the bar says "Menu", but nothing happens, it stays that way all the time and the screen stays blank. When I replace the lines containing Elecard_MPEG2... with the uncommented lines containing Cyberlink Video..., then it works well. After both should be simple Mpeg2 decoders, I wonder why it works with one of them, but not with the other.
Best regards,
Jimi

look at this thread (http://forum.inmatrix.com/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?s=3e3593d03da2ffff;act=ST;f=7;t=1023) at Zoomplayer forum about grapfhfiles. Maybe you find the solution there.

Thank you, that is an interesting thread. Still, nobody uses Elecard for Mpeg2 Decoding. Is nobody interested in a free solution. Even though I could not find the answer directly, the thread may help to solve my problem. Man, I didn't now of this XML2Zoom, so I edited the file manually.
Best regards,
