Hi,Hi Hoborg,
Thanks for your efforts on this ...
I have recently installed Win7 x64 and I am having difficulty playing back TV and videos. I have tried MP 1.0.2.0 and 1.1.0.0 and both suffer from similar things.
MP 1.0.2.0: For SD TV the PowerDVD SD codec works fine but for H.264 (MPC H.264) when I go to play a video file recorded from tv (.ts) then the PC thinks that it is playing (my LCD shows time played etc.) but the whole display freezes with no video, if i press "stop" then the window becomes active again. The same occurs with live TV, the stream starts (and i can even view it using VLC) but no video is displayed, just a "frozen MP screen" until i press stop, then MP returns. DivX play fine.
MP 1.1.0.0: Using this version MP freezes and becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to play any video, nothing plays on SD or HD
The only way I could get HD to work was to use the CoreAVC trial codec and it plays fine, but is a bit jerky ... In windows Vista I had none of these issues, what am I doing wrong? I am using a HD3200 with ATI 9.9 drivers (latest). PLEASE HELP!
Note: I tried to use the "HDPack 2.2" H.264 codecs and the PowerDVD ones give an error on install, but are visible in MP ... they still dont work. Are there issues with x64 Win7 registering codecs?
You need to *unlock* SAF and use PowerDVD h.264 for HDTV.
can anyone tell us how to UNLOCK the SAF?
thanks
