rmvb file

[unplug]

I failed to open rmvb by using directshowsource.
directshowsource("abc.rmvb",fps=25)
It displays an error message
Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported.
What can I do to play rmvb? Do I need to install external filter?

Just a guess, you installed Real alternative?

CU,

But I have installed RealPlayer.

You also need realmedia splitter:

Thanks. But there is no audio. Any more files needed?

Moved to RV forum. Perhaps they can help you there.

Please, no links to warez. I realize not everyone knows Real Alternative is illegal distribution of copyrighted software, so just a warning this time.

AFAIK, audio should work in Avisynth with DirectShowSource. Which is the audio codec used in the RMVB file?

[unplug]

After installing realmedia splitter, I can play rmvb using VirtualDub-directshowsource but there is no audio. When I try to use VirtualDubMod to play the rmbv, below error is shown.
ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format.
I have no idea what audio codec used in rmvb file. It can't be checked by gspot.

maybe it's a 6ch file....

Two simple methods to check audio codec in rmvb (gspot should be updated)

1) D-C's shell extension, first utility in this post:

2) Tool->Playback Statistics, Streams : select audio stream in pulldown.

Get it from method 2.
Codec: RealAudio 10 Bitrate: 64.0Kbps
That's mean I need RealAudio 10 codec? Where to get it?
