Hi guys,

I've installed the SAF 4.00RC1 with PowerDVD9 and Haali Media Splitter. Unprotected DVDs and my DVD rips which are h.264 + AC3/AAC/DTS in MKV seem to work fine. But the videos I've downloaded from youtube, which are AVC + AAC LC in MP4 files don't play - mediaportal just says Unable to play file: filename || Video codec: AVC || Audio codec: AAC LC

Anyone have any ideas? =/

I think ist's a PowerDVD9 Codec Issue. Try MPC-HC Video Decoder on those Videos.

 

[Kung Fu Hung]

Oops, should have mentioned. codec setup is
Mpeg2: PowerDVD9
h.264: MPC-HC
MPEG / AC3: ffdshow
AAC: ffdshow

Switching the h.264 decoder to ffdshow doesn't help. =(

can you provide small video sample? (use MKV merge to split)

BTW, make sure you installed SAF as last one.

 

[Kung Fu Hung]

I definitely installed SAF last, the last time I did it. I'll uninstall and reinstall everything again just for kicks.

Here's a sample. Any video grabbed from youtube is like this - mp4 container, AVC video and AAC LC audio, and none of them work. =/

YouTube - final SDK 2009 Franqey vs Kite (japan) sample-001.mkv

I have no problem to play it, just try update SAF to latest Beta.
BTW - You are on Win7 - what is your OS language version?
SAF currently support only EN and DE version.

.mp4 files from youTube wouldn't play for me either, no matter what codec I tried to force upon it - I renamed them to .avi (no transcoding or anything, just a simple rename of the file extension) and now they play fine

 

[Kung Fu Hung]

I have loads of YouTube files, and will be acquiring plenty more I imagine, so just renaming them all to AVI doesn't seem feasible. I ended up changing the x264 rendered to ffdshow and things seem to be ok. I wonder why the MPC decoder didn't work?

I always download original .flv files from YouTube and play them without any problem. You need to install Mediastore PlayFLV filter from here: Mediastore PlayFLV - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com

To download .flv files from YouTube I use Conceiva Download Studio from here: DownloadStudio - Internet Download Manager & Download Accelerator.

Works perfectly fine.
