Hi

I have same problem, with Haali media splitter pdvd8 ultra can only decode some mkv and not others.

My solution was to download MPCVideoDec.ax (MPC-HC standalone video filter), copy it to system32, click start->run type regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\mpcvideodec.ax

I find if one filter doesn't work the other takes over. You could try this simple fix, because it is very easy to remove the filter

To remove click start -> run -> type regsv32 /u c:\windows\system32\mpcvideodec.ax to undo changes if you don't want the codec anymore.

NOTE - you will not be able to open mkv directly with the cyberlink player software.

Nice and working solution,

cigolo

MP1 MP2 TV episode runtime (duration) missing in MP-TVSeries (x64) DE

I have recently installed MediaPortal 1.37 (x64) and MP-TVSeries v4.5.1.697 and unfortunately the TV episode runtime duration is missing in my Titan skin. This only applies to my .TS files, my .MKV files are OK. I believe the difference is likely to be because .MKV files embed the runtime in the file unlike .TS files. I have done...
