full of codecs, and not playing back

[armaha]

I've got couple of mkv movies so I had to install matroska codec pack - didn't help, then I got The Core Media Player so I really enjoyed watching those movies. But now my ordinary AVI files are not playing back. No crash, nothing's wrong, just not playing. All files are playable in VirtualDubMod.

A good idea is to stay from codec packs. To many people have problems. Install a codec only when needed. You can try to reinstall divx and xvid to see if that helps. If not VLC (videolan) is an excellent and free player and plays most anything.

What players have you tried to play the AVIs ? TCMP also ? Or other DirectShow based players ?

Did you install any matroska packs before, and if so, what version ?

[armaha]

yes, I tried to play on TCMP, WMP9, Divx, BSPlayer - nothing. Then I re-installed Divx player and now avi files are played only in Divx player. It was the first time I ever got matroska and it's a Matroska_Pack_Full_v1.0.3
And now TCMP plays only mkv and mpeg files. What I really want is one player to play them all!!

Get Graphedit.exe from digital-digest.com, start it ( no installation necessary ) by double clicking on it, then goto 'file' 'render media' and try to open any AVI.

Tell us the error message if there is one, or post a screenshot of the graph here if there is one built.

Hopefully there is no problem with our ffdshow compile in the 1.0.3 pack :O ....

Wher do I get it. Can't find it anywhere

[armaha]

There you go, man. Hope you can help me/.

The graph is looking fine. Can you play it in Graphedit if you click on the 'play' button ?

[armaha]

Divx files can be played in Graphedit, but Xvid cannot. I guess there is something wrong with my xvid codec. Here is a new screenshot of this xvid file, which wouldn't play in Graphedit.

I assume you are using an old version of ffdshow. Can you please get the very latest version from http://sf.net/projects/ffdshow and try again ?
