Trouble with MKV Playback

if you are asking about the CCCP Insurgent, you should ask over on the

Actually no, I am not asking about the insurgent, I am asking about the program joseph5 told me about. @Joseph5: Any chance you could give me some pointers for the program. Thanks StarSheep

First make sure that it's indeed Cyberlink's avc decoder that gives you trouble. Open a file with "issues" -> right click on the video surface -> "Filter properties" submenu and see if CoreAVC is listed there or Cyberlink something AVC. If it's Cyberlink something AVC, then you can use that FilterManager -> DirectShow Filters -> look for that Cyberlink something AVC -> click on it -> set Merit Unlikely -> Set Value. If it still shows up when playing that file, then just unregister it completely by pressing the Unregister button.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. That worked. After I unregistered the filter and tried playing the the MKV file again coreavc was active at once and the file played absolutely smooth. Thanks a lot guys you are the best. One more thing. I also have T2 in 1080p quality as windows media format. What is the best quality way to play those? Thanks Cu StarSheep

As I remember T2 was using Microsoft's wmv-hd format, so you just basicly need to install either Windows Media Player 10 or higher () or the Windows Media Format 9.5 SDK or higher ().

Hi Thanks for the links. Does it make any sense to run the WMV HD playback through ffdshow? Thanks Cu StarSheep

No. ffdshow can not decode all types of wmv profiles.

T2 requires a special WMP patch to work with v10 or above:
