7MC codecs don't match with WMP

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I've got a weird issue with 7MC (32 bit).

If I take an MKV file (this holds for other file types as well, just MKV is the strangest) and drop it into GraphEdit my filter order is correct (Halii -> FFDshow -> Output pins). If I render it from GraphEdit, everything also works correctly..

If I double click the file (launching WMP 12), everything, again, works great. All the filters start (as they should) and I see the icon for the splitter and 2 ffdshow instances (one for audio, one for video).

Now, for the craziness. When I launch the same file through 7MC... No ffdshow (for either audio or video). And, even stranger, no Halii (no MKV splitter). I don't even know how it's working with Halii; but, frankly, thanks a problem for another day.

The real question. Why is 7MC rendering the same file differently than WMP (and GraphEdit)? It's like it's got a different preference for filters? I don't understand why it's doing this. Strangely enough, everything works; but I've got no Media Splitter and no FFDshow in 7MC, so, as a result.. No subtitles.

Use Win7DS Tweaker to force ffdshow as the default decoder. Yes, by default 7MC preffers it`s built in decoders. Haali is still used since it has no MKV splitter, only a H.264/VC-1 decoder.

If you are using the Shark007 codecs, disable the Microsoft Video decoder on the SWAP TAB.
