Hi,

I installed saf and i was happy till i tried playing some self encoded Musicvideos , Sound is working, video not. The file is playing in mpc-hc, so i dont have any idea why is not playing in mp...(i have selected mpc as h264 decoder in video section in mp, only saf 4.0beta and ati catalyst 9.10 installed)

What is wrong?

What about small video sample?

 

[pilehave]

And why did you choose MPC as videdecoder for H.264? Use PowerDVD

 

[hoborg]

BTW, that is *.TS container? If yes, simply rename *.TS to *.M2TS and try again.

I can confirm wierd issue.

Video can be played outside MP normaly (Graphstudio, MPC-HC) but fail in MP with the same decoders/splitter in use.
Looks like some MP issue to me - maybe you should inform MP team...

Not here... it plays normally in my MP. Windows XP, SAF 4.00beta and MediaPortal 1.1 with some SVN, I don't remember which one now but about a couple of weeks ago, I guess.

thanks for looking into my problem, hoborg and yabba (and thanks for the codec pack !!@hoborg)

perhaps there is a fix in a svn?...will try in a couple of weeks , have exams next week

I find PDVD doesn't like some h264 encoded rips.
I use MPC for Video and PDVD for HDTV.

Just tested on my home machine - no problem at all (???)
