[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 560644, member: 18896"] It is most likely a codec problem. My own preference is with "Media Player Classic - Home Cinema", it comes both as a program with codecs build in, but the codecs are also available in a stand-alone version so that other programs, including MediaPortal can use them. They have 32-bit and 64-bit versions, with full DXVA support, and they work on XP/Vista/Win7. Any file that plays in the stand-alone version of MPC-HC can be made to play inside MediaPortal by installing the related codec and/or splitter. So grab the standalone filters from: [url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/files/]Browse Media Player Classic - Home Cinema Files on SourceForge.net[/url] and register the ones you want to use (I prefer to only install the ones I actually use). For example you unzip the "MPC-Standalone Filters.1.3.1249.0.(x86).zip" into "C:\Program Files\MPC-Standalone Filters" and then for basic MKV playback you would run: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\MPC-Standalone Filters\MatroskaSplitter.ax" regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\MPC-Standalone Filters\MPCVideoDec.ax" The first enables support to read MKV files, the 2nd is to make the video codecs work. AC3/DTS audio I prefer to run via the AC3Filter codec myself. To control the merit and properties of these filter you can use: [url=http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm]DirectShow Filter Manager[/url] or control them from within MediaPortal. [/QUOTE]
