How to Play HD-DVD/Blu-ray (EVO/M2TS) files in MC12 using DirectShow filters
jmone:
I don't know the prob, but I would suggest that you start a new thread for the problem (you will get more hits!)
Thanks

If I don't have the Sonic filter, will the video fail to play, or should it play without sound?
I ripped my Wolf Creek HD-DVD with AnyDVD but MC won't play the 13 GB EVO file. Nothing happens. I have a bunch of CyberLink HD-DVD/BD filters selected, as well as CoreAVC and AC3filter too; I figured that I might be able to select a DD/DTS soundtrack once the video had started, but no go.
Any ideas? If I absolutely need Sonic, I'll have to think about getting it, or just waiting for someone else to produce a compatible filter. Thanks in advance for any insights.

If are you going to rip your HD-DVDs and Blu-rays to your hard drive, instead of trying to deal with EVO and m2ts files I would recommend checking out eac3to on Doom9 forums. It takes a little more time but you can rip out the main movie (combine the evo files) the audio track you want (plus convert that to a standard ac3 format if need be) subtitles and the chapters, and put all that back in a mkv file. Personally I think though it takes a little more time then just ripping the movie it makes HD video much easier to play in MC or any other video player as well, at least until there is more support for the Blu-ray format.

Thanks for the suggestion temeryx. I did download an early version of eac3to, but that was before I really knew what it would do. Time to get a newer build and play with it... perhaps this weekend.

Like all DirectShow filters, you need to firstly get the correct splitter going then fitlers that can decode the contained Audio / Video. Not to many splittlers like EVO as a container (try the latest Haali) then the next prob is very few filters currently decode some of the High Def audio but once you have the video running you should be able to select your Audio Track. As Temeryx suggests many convert their audio track to std DD but I want to keep my HD Audio (if sounds alot better).
