Problem displaying movies in Subtitle Workshop

[Kahlua02]

Hello to everyone,

I am new to this forum and hope someone can help me with a strange issue. I am experiencing a problem in displaying videos in Subtitle Workshop. Initially I had problems only with mp4 files. Using Gspot I identified the related codec, which was H.264/AVC. I subsequently tried installing and configuring ffdshow and Haali Matroska Splitter. Then I tried also with this codec and with Shark 007 codecs, but nothing. I am still not able to see mp4s and now also some MPEG-1 files are giving me problems.

The funny thing is that I am able to open all these files in every media player I have, namely WMP and VLC.

My graphic card is an Asus with a GTX 580 chipset and updated drivers. Could someone give me a hand?

Many thanks in advance,

Raffaele

Subtitle workshop 6? or the older 2.51?

Hi Baldrick,

thanks for your quick reply. I am experiencing the same problem with both versions.

You could try use Win7DSFilterTweaker and set ffdshow as preferred video codec for mp4 and h264 files.

I have already used Codec Tweak Tool to set ffdshow as the preferred video codec for mp4 and h264. I guess the two programs are similar, aren't they?

Similar is not the same as identical.

And FWIW, not all applications build / attempt-to-build a Directshow graph in the same way. Besides, some filters, such as Haali, are really meddlesome and often screw the playback for other formats than MKV.

Anyway, I think you should post something to the thread below,
