Cyberlink Filter - MC won't use

<< < (3/11) > >>

jroyale:
And now another issue...MC stops responding.  Any logs created for this? I'm very close to just shutting this whole project down.  Frustrated.

Yaobing:
Please post graph info of successfully playing a m2t file.

As a way of comparison, also post a graph of playing the same mkv file successfully on a different computer if you can.

Finally, turn on logging.  It is at Help > Logging... > check "Output to a log file" check box under Logging options.  Try playing the mkv file that you have trouble with.  And email me the log file.  yaobing at jriver dot com

In your experience, is Cyberlink decoder much better than CoreAVC (on another computer where cyberlink can be used)?  People have said a lot of good things about CoreAVC.

The issues you have here are filter related.  Not all filters are open to use by other programs.

MC14 and 15 are fine on Windows 7, 32 or 64bit. 

Are you using a release version of Win7?

jroyale:
Granted the cyberlink is filter related but Jim, but I've had a tons of problems as I think you can see by my many posts.  XP was fine 7 is a nightmare on my system.  Having said that I have 2 instances of jrmc running 1 on xp and the other on win 7 and neither can load cyberlink for mkv's so isn't there something to that?

Over and above that I have had consistent issues with direct draw errors and mc crashing or failing to respond...it is constant.  I have no idea where the issues lie it's just really, really frustrating.  It's taken me forever to find a sweetspot of drivers and build versions to get it right and I still have an issue but it's somewhat minor, albeit annoying, compared to all my other issues which are all theatre view related.  I know you will point to the video card drivers which you have a point but I'm sure you can see from my side how I put some of the blame on jrmc.

The only build version that works for me is .096 with 1 specific driver.  It too has an issue that when left in theatre view for an extended period of time, theatre view becomes distorted and the bottom 1/4 of the screen is blank squishing the remaning image up and cuts off some text.  If I exit and go back into theatre view it goes back okay.

At any rate I feel like I should have you over for dinner given the amount of times we've posted....I just want things to work and they don't so I'm frustrated...I love...love your product.  I rave about it to all my friends but I can't ge the bloody thing to work on my machine.  I'm going bonkers literally.  Its drive me f'in nuts.  Why can't it just work!! 

If I could install xp on this thing i'd do it in 2 seconds...no drivers and it's a great solution for my room because it makes 0 noise and I can mount it on the wall behind my tv.

Lates.

raym:
I'll assume (based on your filter graph above) that the mkv's contain mpeg2 video streams. If this is the case AND you're using PowerDVD 10 filters, I can tell you that it doesn't work for me either. I also have Cyberlink PDVD 7 installed and these codecs load fine so I can only assume that Cyberlink have done something to restrict the use of their codecs by other 3rd party players. I remember having this issue ages ago and found some reg hacks to enable them in MC but I have no idea about this anymore and havn't had the need for PowerDVD codecs on Windows 7 at all (apart from bluray). For my mpeg2 mkv's, I just use the MS default codecs. Have you tried these? They work fine for me.
