#Wvc1 codec for windows media player 9 mp4#
On the MPG MP4 tab I am using Gabest's splitter for MP4 playback, I did play one sample MP4 video file OK in Media Center. MOV files my little digital camera creates yet.
#Wvc1 codec for windows media player 9 movie#
MOV movie trailers I downloaded from Apple OK in Media Center, I've not tested the.

MOV OGG tab I did not change anything on this tab, I can play some 1080p. But if I play the same movie that's on the WHS from the XBOX 360 dashboard video library it plays fine.Īpparently this is not a problem for 32bit OS as you can have the DIVX Media Foundation Splitter enabled and it will also still use FFDShow in Media Center OK. Also AVI's on my XBOX 360 MCX are not playing that well, slowing down and speeding up. So I have to have this disabled on my X64 HTPC.īut I also have an XBOX 360 extender, I've not tested playing any MKV's on the extender yet, but ideally you would want the DIVX Media Foundation Splitter enabled for playback on the XBOX 360, which means manually changing this setting first. If you don't, when you play MKVs and other files in Media Center they will not use FFDSHow but the Microsoft codec.

However I had issues with this setting until Shark explained it to me, you MUST disable the DIVX Media Foundation Splitter on 64 bit OS. On the MKV tab I am using the Haali Splitter and there is also a DIVX Media Foundation Splitter, this is for XBOX 360 users apparently. On the H264 tab I select the settings you can see that have red rings round them, as I said I enabled FFDShow DXVA for hardware acceleration. On the AVI tab I have been selecting Gabest's splitter lately, but Shark recommends using the Microsoft Splitter here. When I am using an AVR I don't use AC3Filter as I always had problems with it and just use FFDShow. You'd probably select 5.1 as well from the Choose speaker configuration. Ignore the tool tip on this screen shot, I don't think I changed anything on the Audio tab either, however if you have an AVR and want to pass through / bit stream the audio to the AVR you should select: use pass-through (Digital Audio) under FFDShow S/PDIF pass-through. I did not change anything on the Misc tab. I also checked H264 and VC1 under DXVA codecs enabled. Under the FFDShow DXVA configuration, I unchecked Subtitles, as I found some MKV's were showing the hard subs. I found some of my HD MKV movies where stuttering so I decided to enable FDDShow DXVA (hardware acceleration) on the H264 tab, which meant on the Config tab clicking Configuration Items and selecting FFDShow DXVA You probably want to change the Hardware Output to TV/Projector. I also never use subtitles so I change the Subtitle control to "No Subtitles".

The first tab is the configure tab, on here you can choose which version of WMP12 is the default, stick with the 32 bit version as recommended. When launching either version of the Shark codec pack from the start menu you should always right click the icon and run as administrator. But I will mention audio pass through later. Also I currently don't have an AVR so I am not passing through or bit streaming audio to the AVR, its just a simple HDMI connection from the PC direct to the HDTV. I'd like to state that the below settings are working for me on my HTPC for my files, this is not to say these exact same settings will work for you as you expect! I'd also like to point out that my HTPC is based on an AMD Processor and an onboard ATI HD Radeon 4200 graphics chip. And you use the 圆4 bit version of the shark codec pack for configuring 64 bit players such as Media Center.īefore I continue, at this point I'd like to thank Shark for his help setting up my new 圆4 bit HTPC as I did get stuck in places and required his help, some of the below information was passed on to me from Shark and if you are using his codec pack and find it useful, please consider making a donation to him as I expect releasing these codec packs and supporting them is very time consuming indeed. The Windows Media Center by default is 64 bit ! The x86 version of the shark codec pack is used to configure 32 bit players such as the default WMP12.

If you are using the Shark 007 codec pack on 圆4 you first need to install the x86 version of the codec pack as nornal, in addition to this you then need to install the 圆4 components.īy default on 64 bit Windows 7, the default WMP12 player is the 32 bit version, there is also a 64 bit version of WMP12, Shark recommends sticking with the 32bit version of WMP12 and not changing the default to be the 64 bit version. In the past I'd mainly stayed away from 圆4 bit OS and always used 32bit, mainly because I was usually testing lots of different applications and utilities and also just because I felt more comfortable with 32 bit and codec setup.īut on this latest HTPC for my own living room I decided it was time to try 圆4 bit properly and make it stable. I recently built a 圆4 bit Windows 7 Ultimate HTPC.
