FFDShow Big Colour Problems

[Endemoniada]

Hi guys,

I installed the latest FFDShow (stable) and now when I play DivX .avi files the colour is messed up. The colour itself is bad (dark, lots of purple) and there are also large bands (about 40% of total height) that looks like a solid yellow rectangle layer was put over it with 50% transparency.

I'm using WMP 10 on XP Pro.
The only codec I had installed previously was DivX which I uninstalled.

Please help.

Try another ffdshow version.

I just switched to Media Player Classic and it's fine. I seem to have lots of problems with WMP.

I found another problem, a different .mp4 does not play at all in Media Player Classic but works fine in VLC. Any idea what's going on with that ?

Thanks.

VLC uses its own internal codecs, for the most part, so that implies you don't have everything you need installed to play MP4 files in Media Player Classic, whether or not it's a codec issue (use a utility like GSpot or MediaInfo to check the MP4 video, and see which codecs it uses. Are those codecs enabled in ffdshow, or do you have different codecs installed that can handle them?), or that you might possibly need to have a splitter like Haali Media Splitter installed.

If you have more than one MP4 file around, do they all behave like that when you try to load them into Media Player Classic?
