[QUOTE="tuputamadre, post: 293171, member: 81679"] short version: i disabled "windows media video acceleration" on ati's catalyst control center. longer version: i formatted my hdd and installed winxpsp3 shortly after it became available, then ati drivers, later cccp, and finally wmf11. wmv files played on mportal. i didnt play wmv files often because they looked like crap, i didnt know that vlc didnt use the same powerfull postprocessing directshow players used on wmv files. recently i downloaded an obscene amount of wmv files and i noticed the difference it made wether i used vlc or a directshow wmv decoder; strangely enough pp was disabled in mpclassic and enabled on mplayer2 6.4. ;mportal played only audio on those wmv. i blocked wmv dmo on mpclassic and then it used the other wmv video decoder with pp enabled. then i lowered the merit of the wmv dmo directshow filters, but mportal didnt play the wmv. the mportal test tool showed that mportal still used the dmo filters, giving me a black screen. then i remembered that wmv otion on catalist drivers, i unchecked it and wmv played again on mportal. i bashed my head against the table and i felt asleep. i cant tell if wmv worked with that option enabled back in the day, so i dont know if something borked that option or if it never worked and i enabled it without testing mportal aferwards. well, now it works, even skippin 15 seconds without distortion, like with avi files.
