ActiveMovie window popping-up when playing AVIs (Yaobing)

Just in case it is relevant, it worked fine with MC 11.1.
I finally installed MC 12 on top of it so I cannot confirm whether it' would still be working in MC 11.1 or not, but nothing else has changed in my system apart from installing MC.12.
Actually I was playing video clips in MC 11.1 right before installing MC.12

Yes, it works in MC11 because we did not try to use Video Mixing Renderer 9, especially we did not try to use VMR9 in Windowless mode.
That is also the reason we do not have video controls in MC11.

I appreciate your help in this issue. Hopefully Yaobing can find a solution, since honestly I'm not very aware of all this xvid, divx, ffdshow stuff.

The solution will be simple. When it happens I just need to make sure to harness the ActiveMovie window and put it inside our application window. This is only as a fall-back. I still will try to use VMR9 in windowless mode when possible.

On the machine that was doing it on the machine i was on the
other day, the only codec I had downloaded was the latest one
from DIVX themselves, as in http://www.divx.com/
but then thats exactly the same as this machine...
(both set up by me!)...
and this one works...

So, there maybe some other factors that caused the problem. I wonder what it might be ...

You may want to read this. That's comparing using the codecs to create video (not just view it), but official DivX isn't really all that and a bag of chips.
Generally, for VFW playback, FFDSHOW is where it's at. If you're not creating videos yourself (recompressing them, converting them, etc) then you don't need to have the codecs themselves installed at all generally.
One of these days I'll switch over to using MKV and x264 for my encodes. Basically I need a VirtualDub-like tool that works with x264. Until some of the developers get over themselves though (or len0x comes back and blesses us with an AutoGK for x264), I don't see it happening too soon. :(

=) 4 Years worth of computer science degree, and you still
might as well be talking japaneese :)
I'll try unloading Divx, and downloading FFDShow on both machines and see what happens.

Eh... This is a screenshot of my desktop at work right now (well, a minute ago before I started typing this message):
It's what I do. Computer Science is Computer Science. Video editing is video editing.
(And I don't even come close to fully understanding it all. I'm sure Yaobing has a much better handle on DirectShow chains and filters and codecs than do I.)
Actually, it's quite good to test this because... Like it or not, DivX has name recognition and people will use it. It needs to be able to work using all of the weird, semi-broken VFW codecs out there. At least the popular ones.
