    After having trouble rendering properly with CoreAVC 2.5 I tought heck maybe 3.0 will make everything better, but no.
    I can't even play a H264 or similar video while using CoreAVC 3 as the preferred decoder. When I try to open a H264 based video it simple closes my player(MPC-HC/WMP).

    I have reinstalled my files in order: MPC-HC, CoreAVC 3, AC3Filter, VSFilter. I have unchecked the internal filters in MPC-HC. I have left the default settings in CoreAVC and I've added the codecs in External filters section of MPC-HC in the order mentioned above. I have no other codecs installed other than Haali which comes with CoreAVC.

    I see no reason for this not to work. CoreAVC 2.0 worked fine before. Ever since 2.5 I could not get it to work.
    Also, I would have asked this in the CoreAVC forums, but they don't seem to care and there hasn't been a new post authorized there in almost 9 months. They never answer their Support tickets either.

    PC Specs:
    Windows XP Pro SP3.
    Radeon X700 Pro
    Atlhon XP 2500+

    Thanks for your help.
    Crucio.

  2. Try turning off CUDA or DXVA support in CoreAVC.

  3. I can play h.264 files with MPCHC-64 1.5.2.3456 and CoreAVC 2.6.1.

    Yeah its set to "None". I know I my card doesn't support it.
    2.6.0 didn't work for me either, wait, I'll try getting 2.6.1.
    Nope, 2.6.1 has the same effect. Just crashes.

  5. If you couldn't get it working before, why did you bother paying for the upgrade ?

    Oh he is answering, sweet, thanks poison.

    Well you see, 2.0 worked fine and I thought hey, 2.5 will probably be way better. But that wasn't the case for me, so I kept trying up till this new one.

    I'll try removing Haali. What other splitter could I use?

    Ok well I've tried using VLC and I can play 720P with no lag. What the heck. I used to ignore VLC because it was always choppy, but now I see they've improved it very much. I'm amazed.
    Wow. All this time I've been trying to find solution with MPC and Core, I think I'll use VLC from now on until I purchase a new computer in the next months.

    The standalone filters from MPC-HC include (usable) MKV and MP4 splitters.

    The LAV Splitter also is "good enough", IF your machine is "new enough"

    SolveigMM has a decent Matroska Splitter, thanks to it, and so far,
    my PC can do without Haali

    Why insist on CoreAVC, when the H264 decoder from DivX is both faster and free

    I use ffdshow for my audio codecs (only the audio). Maybe try that with coreAVC, but use the MPC-HC internal or standalone splitters

    @Crucio: what about Daum PotPlayer and just using their internal codecs?

    Had the same problem. VC1 files played fine but avc didn't. Solved it by going into the Haali Media Splitter options and changing the Output>Use custom media type for H.264 to No.
    Hope this helps.

    Was a solution found? I have the same problem here. 2.5 on up crashes all players types.

    Disabled Haali and tried MPC-HC's internal splitter didn't help.
    Any suggestions?
    (Use custom media type was already set to no).

    Edit: I noticed Crucio is also using an Athlon XP (which does not have SSE2). I'm starting to wonder if CoreAVC left SSE only processors behind.
