[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 818205, member: 56239"] [B]THANKS for the reply![/B] I hope we can figure what's happening for the [I]community[/I] more so than for me... First off the ATi filter... I was using it to [I]illustrate[/I] that the .264 filter filter won't even be selected, whether or not it's a reasonable choice. To follow up on your observations I repeated this test using the DivX selection. But first off I updated my XP system from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 for consistancy. I selected the DivX .264 and the Gabest MPEG-2 and ran the test. As the log shows it loaded Gabest MPEG-2 but ended up [I]playing[/I] using the MPC (see image) which it never even logged it was adding to the graph much less the DivX .264 filter. I found this interesting as it meant that whether it popped up the "Unable to Play" or not was somewhat dependent on the MPEG-2 selection (and not the .264) for my system. I then picked up on your point about the PDVD9 codec and selected it and the DivX. Repeated the test and this time it popped up "Unable to Play" although the log would show it was disconnecting the MPC Video Dec pins before it became unplayable - or am I not understanding the line: [INDENT]2011-12-06 08:33:48.250000 [Info.][MPMain(1)]: PlaylistPlayer: *** unable to play - \\Ssd-x3-htpc\s\mkv from Danny\Nov2011\m4v\FAST_FIVE.m4v - [B]skipping track[/B]![/INDENT] Thought I'd help you debug this one...
