Just as a further try, I have ticked "Use Windows Media Player for Playback" in the MC12 options.

Even with this box ticked MC12 wont play back - despite WMP standalone playing it  ? ?

Yeah... I've seen that.  Its not in the current FFDSHOW included with the non-beta CCCP builds.  Is that one of the Tryouts builds?

Most of the same features could be found in the old "debug" section (except for the "Only use FFDSHOW" section).

Yep, June something.
If it is not in CCCP pack that's not the problem then either.
Installer asks about those settings so I figured that could be problem if the graphs are now ok.

It is... So I suppose it is worth checking (since I'm out of ideas).  It's found here:

I seem to remember that in that tryout installer the default was something like use only in MPC and few others
so maybe it could be part of the problem if the another one was strange dshow graphs.

The latest CCCP release (Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2007-07-22.exe) has this FFDShow configuration panel:

Well, this one is for Glynor.

Switched to ffdshow-tryouts (finally). The version included is a custom build of revision 1355 plus some CCCP-specific patches.

I hope someone suddenly realizes that we have missed something that should have been obvious.

Just back home for tonight before headong off again. Problem is still there...

BTW, I run mp4 files on my MacBook Pro under Bootcamp while I was on the road using MC12 - and that was running without problems.

So something weird is up at my machine here at home. Any more clues  ?

Thanks.  That reminded me that I had forgot to update most of my machines (only the HTPC at home had the newest build).

Its just so weird: If i play one and the same mp4 file from a local drive, MC12 now does use ffdshow as codecs for playback and plays back just fine. If I try to play back that same file thru a network drive, I get the "Quicktime needed" error.

Any ideas given this latest finding ??

NB: I also get the strange color issue on my PC that Glynor reported about.

Few thoughts from my end-
Is your network drive mapped with a drive letter (IE. Drive D:\), or do you browse to it through a standard network shortcut. Either way, try the opposite  ;)
Have you tried switching the video renderer in MC's options? I'd suggest trying it with the legacy renderer, which has fixed a couple of odd Real Media issues for me.
I'd also mux the file into a proper as opposed to renamed MKV & see what happens. (Pretty certain it'll play with no issues, but thats not really the point here!)
My final thought, would be to try the latest nightly of ffdshow-tryouts, again this may be a funny bug from their end (This isn't a route I'd really advise you to follow TBH- I have a very bad beta habit, and these can and will break things; If you're not sure, don't)

I've got the network drive mapped to a drive letter (X: in this case..)

I wont mess around with betas etc. I have players that play it without problems - well just about anyone except MC12....

Sorry for not being able to provide a solution for such a long time.

Something finally rings a bell here. Is your mapped network drive pretty slow? It appears that Haali Media Splitter probably took too long to load the file because it was on a network drive, and MC timed out. What we do in MC is to test whether mp4 (and a few other types) is playable using DirectShow before actually playing it. If the test timed out, we assume it can not play in DirectShow and try Quicktime subsequently.
