I can play VC-1 files fine but I have no idea which program install loaded the codec. I wish MS DirectShow codecs were associated with the program that loaded them. Maybe they are?

If you're using MPC-HC, right-click in the frame while the video is playing and, in the Filters submenu, you'll see the decoders/filters being used on the video. The video codec in use will be among them.

VC-1 is played back by Windows Media Format, which is included in Windows Media Player. You can download the WMF library/codec separately from WMP.

"Pure" VC-1 streams cannot be played back without an adequate DirectShow source filter.
As far as I know, there exists only one of such filters available --- its filename is
"vc1esparser.dll", and is included in the VC-1 SDK from Microsoft. N.B.: it was
created for demonstration purposes only, which means it is not capable of
"real-istic" playback. If you try to use it in Avisynth, you'll have to specify the
correct frame rate and frame count in the script.

I had installed VC-1 SDK from Microsoft. It still doesn't work.

[poisondeathray]

Don't demux it to raw .vc1, leave it in the .m2ts container.

Very few players can play raw files outside of the container

Have you «registered» the filter

Copy the DLL to your system32 directory,
and then run the following command:

regsvr32 vc1esparser.dll

And poisondeathray is right --- VC-1 streams are best dealed while inside an
adequate container (M2TS, MKV, ASF, AVI). Differently from the well-known
MPEG elementary streams (m1v and m2v), nobody has cared about creating decent
source filters for that format. In fact, you will find that several MPEG splitters actually
do NOT support MPEG-1 video properly. :P

HTH!

Something else to consider, RipBot264 can read a .m2t file with VC-1 video and ac3 audio and convert that into .mkv, .mp4, or avchd (all of which can be played with programs like VLC.) This conversion shrinks the size, but does take up a lot of computer processing power to do, so it may or may not be an option for you.

thanks guys~ By the way! will the pure VC-1 possible to play..

That's not the right thing to do. He's trying to play VC-1, not re-encode it to H.264, which will damage the quality.

No, not in most players. Like poisondeathray said, don't demux it from the container. If you have, find a way to remux it.

It depends. Hardware players surely will NOT play VC-1 elementary streams.
As for the DirectShow-based players (WMP, MPC, etc.), if you have installed
( = registered ) the VC-1 filter from Microsoft, then yes, they will playback any
*.vc1 file

(BUT, as I said before, the video will run too fast, or too slow, or
with variable frame rate, or with tons of macroblock artifacts, or with all these
"features" at the same time ).

thanks for your help everyone!.. Now I can play the pure VC-1 on my PC ....................

Unless you're able to understand and to improve the source code(s) provided by the
VC-1 SDK documentation, you cannot.

I said it would happen, didn't I? :P

Cheers.

[Dboyz]

so I have to understand all the source code?

gosh ! man

help me more! if you can
