FFDShow's SourceForge project has been dead for years.

WMP 11 and VLC 0.8.6a

I got WMP 11 working with the "Codec Pack All in 1 6.0.3.0" but VLC would still not play correctly. I uninstalled "Codec Pack All in 1 6.0.3.0" and installed the "Vista Codec Package 4.2.9" as suggested earlier :thumbsup: and still had audio only in VLC. I searched the VLC forums and found some instructions that worked for me.

Settings>Preferences>Video>Output Modules>(Check off "Advanced Options")>In Drop down menu- OpenGL Video Output>Exit Preferences>restart VLC

I went through all the available options in the Output Modules drop down menu and that's the one that worked for me, if you go through them also you may find a fix for your situation.

I'm running an 8800gts on the latest beta drivers and Vista Buisness.

Guys i am screwed, still the same problem exists, i have removed all the codec packs and there nothing in my system with respect codec packs except for media player 11, when i tried to play the .dat file it started crashing again. i dont understand this ******. i can play games for hours with out a hitch . please help me on this. if its a OC problem then i should have had system freezes while running other applications why only video:disgust:

i cannot play any format, it crashes all the time.

Does it crash with VLC?

 

[jaykishankrk]

i have not installed VLC on my system ...

without any codec packs it should atleast work properly with a .dat file on media player 11 right ??

Sounds like you need to try running back at stock settings and try the media again. See if it crashes then.

I've personally never even heard of an OC de-syncing video.

thats the point, i really dont understand why should OC be a problem when i can run all my application even CPU intensive ones very well without any hitch. i play games for hours. well then do you think the problem is still with the codecs or my video drivers??

i have installed xtremeG 97.92 drivers for XP and a 100.64 vista drivers from Guru 3D.

do you think my GPU drivers are causing this problem??

if nothing works out shall i re install the OS??

The DirectX Output Module worked for me, and was less of a resource drain than OpenGL (this is probably a graphic card issue, I have onboard X3000). The only one that would not work for me is the Direct3D and default (which is probably Direct3D). You know when you change the Output Module you have to close and restart the player, right?

that's an old site that is years out of date. A current fork of ffdshow is here.
