A - Tried to play some AVIs and got the message "Failed to connect Audio decoder to source / splitter"
Using GSpot, I saw the audio codec as "WMA v2".
The playback method is set to "Automatic".
Plays well in MPC
B - I have wmv file that does not play in MC. I simply see black and the file does not start to play.
This wmv file is:
video: WVC1
audio: Windows Media Audio 9 Professional
WMV playback is set to use JRiver Engine with Direct Show filters
Plays well in MPC
