[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 299709, member: 82144"] Hi all I'm having a reasonably specific problem trying to use the FFDShow h.264 (rev2079 SSE) codec to decode Freeview NZ h.264 with HE-AAC signals. When I select FFDShow as my h.264 decoder, TV appears to start but there is no picture and no audio (note, I do not use the FFDShow audio decoder). I can use CoreAVC or a Cyberlink codec quite happily, however I'd rather use FFDShow since its free and open source. The problem seems to be that FFDShow is trying to use its mpeg2 decoder to try and decode the h.264 stream. I say this because when I disable the mpeg2 decoder in FFDShow video configuration, the FFDShow decoder icon no longer pops up in my taskbar when attempting to start watching tv and the actual tv stream will not start (no error, just no "playback" - I assume for lack of the video decoder). Is there anything I can do to force FFDShow to use the correct decoder (h.264 instead of mpeg2) ?
