Hello All,
Time for more questions for the smart people here. Here are the steps I have done right now.
- Install a clean XP Pro
- Installed CCP Codec package
- Installed JRiver MC 12
- Installed a sound card with sp/dif output
I further have configured the ffdshow settings so that the dolby digital/dts audio is just passed through to the sp/dif for my receiver to decode. I made know changes for ffdshow video settings.
When I try to playback a x264 hd show in a mkv container, the the video and audio is off slightly(it is noticeable). When I play back using Media Player Classic/WM Player there are no issues whatsoever. The synchronization is perfect.
I further adjusted the direct show settings in MC to use Windows Media playback or something to that effect. Once I did that things are perfect, MC plays back the mkv containers beautifully without any sync problems. Can some body explain why there is this discrepency, and further how can I resolve this and get MC to just play the mkv containers by itself without any assistance from MSFT WM player.
Further I am noticing the same problem with one of my dvd's which I have backed up to the pc. Do I need windvd or something else installed in my pc to get this to work?
I am able to display stuff at 1920x1080 and it looks and sounds gorgeous :-).
