There are many routes you can take. I just posted the specific tutorial that the majority of people have great success with.
Right now in Vista Media Center, there are some conflicts and codec problems that need to be worked out.
It improved in December, but it really improved in February. Build 1723 is January. 1846 is early February.
edit: Core is ok. however it tends to display errors. the latest version allegedly fixes most of them, but I haven't had a reason to try it now that ffdshow is enough.
"coming soon" has been announced for several months or more
neither Nvidia nor ATI have provided any assistance or any intention to make any code available to help this effort
Thats what I thought too, makes you wonder why GPU acceleration is taking so long then.Not sure they need to, last time i read upon it, you just pass the file bitstream directly to DXVA and the gpu handles it (if its compliant), a bit like using SPDIF to a reciever for audio.
Thank god someone else is saying it. I'm tired of seeing people recommend V64 for an HTPC without mention the headaches that come with it when used on an HTPC.64-bit is a little rough and MKV's might not work depending on which codec versions you have. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 32-BIT.
If you want painless integration of HD movies within VMC, 32-bit is highly recommended as I said before.
As far as your codec problem, you have to add it to the list of external filters and give it priority. Also try unregistering the CoreAVC codec using the regsvr32 command to ensure it is disabled. I'm using the FFDshow 64-bit version just fine on my main gaming pc.
Perhaps FFDshow didn't install correctly or something. But if you feel you want to uninstall CoreAVC, you can. You don't need to though. All you need to do is unregister CoreAVCdecoder.ax.Yeah, when I click "Add External Filter" or w/e the button is (not at that pc right now) it doesn't list ffdshow in that huge list.
will try unregistering CoreAVC tonight - is it enough to uninstall it?
You should mention the fact that to get full functionality of MyMovies you need to donate money to them. I am unable to use the Copy Disc function without doing so.
What about in powerdvd is it working there?
Any way to play .mkv files in PDVD?
Sure just rename it to mp4 and drag it into the powerdvd window. Make sure to change it back when you're finished to avoid confusion.
Are you kidding? That doesn't work.
Maybe actually changing the container to mp4, but not just renaming it.
I just tried the renaming trick and it didn't work. I couldn't tell how serious/sarcastic you were being, CrimandEvil.
