Media Player Classic and Audio Switcher

[Gswiss]

I get no reaction at all from Media Player Classic 6.4.8.4 when I try to read mpg or avi files on my pc. It just hangs a long time before displaying "Audio Switcher::Out" . Stream 1, MPEG-1 Audio Decoder, Audio Switcher... When I close the window, the mpg video runs.

I loaded kazaa lite codec pack 246f but there was no improvement. When I try using Windows Media Player on these same files, I get the Microsoft error message asking me if I want to send the error log to Microsoft.

No problem using PowerDVD to read video dvd's. When I try to use Media Player classic on the same DVD, exactly the same thing happens as with mpg except that instead of running the movie, it displays the message "Failed to render some of the pins of the DVD nav"

Should the codec pack be loaded to a specific folder?

try an older version of media player classic like 6.4.8.2.

I don't have the problem anymore because I restored a previously saved Windows 2000 environment. Everything works fine.

The problem started with an older version of Media Player. I only installed a new Klite codec pack because I hoped to solve the problem that way. It did not.

Another interesting item : the problem was with the codecs. With VLC Media Player, which carries its own codecs, I had no problem playing those WAV and mpg files.

Even Gspot found nothing wrong.
