No audio .mkv file with WMP12

[poulidis]

Hi everybody. I have a strange problem. Although I am able to play mkv files with avc video files inside using WMP12 in Windows 7, there a couple of files that although they play perfectly with vlc or divx player, with wmp I only get the audio.

Any suggestions (apart from using some other player since I use media center connected to my tv)?

Thanks in advance

Windows 7 can't decode all formats so you need an external decoder, I would try ffdshow. You may also need to use Preferred Filter Tweaker to disable the windows 7 internal decoder so ffdshow is actually used. And If ffdshow cause problem you can easily uninstall it. Try avoid codec packs.

Problem solved. Even though I had already installed ffdshow earlier, I used the tweak you suggested and now it works like a charm. Thank you!

new problem. Now I get the same thing with mp4 files. I tried the tweaker to ffdshow or divx, but it doesn't work. The file plays with vlc or quicktime but not with wmp
