    Download here

    Load your film into it by using browse button or drag n drop to container window, it will tell you the neccessary codecs you have installed to play file correctly..

    Click the MS A\V button at bottom, 1 renders filter path, 2 plays file.

    Actually forget this, as it does not define real video filetype, which is what we need to see if this was your problem.

    it tells me: src->(a)-> ffdshow video encoder>- (b)-> video renderer and (a)MPA decoder filter and (b)AC3 Filter (default direct sound device)

    the other mkv files which work with MP use the same codecs...

    but i could get any file playing in GSpot...

    Is there no splitter involved like below, still think it may be worthwhile uninstalling all your codecs, FFDShow, AC3 etc, and try installing Vista codec Pack after rebooting.

    If you do not use MPV\MPA, these can cause problems, use filmerit to delete, but they will get reinstalled if you use svn's, be aware.

    i just managed to install vista codec pack (it turned out that i downloaded half of the file last time).
    now all movie filea are working. BUT i have the feeling that the picture has become pale or milky as the color black is not really black anymore ;). am i hallucinating or is there a reason, and how can i improve it?
