I can't use Arcsoft Video Decoder in MPC

[Lincoln Burrows]

I have Total MediaTheatre from Arcsoft installed in my computer, but when I attempt to add as a new filter in MPC-HC, it keeps using Sonic Cinemaster Video Decoder or another.

I configured my other video decoders to be blocked or to not be used if the content is H.264/VC-1, but no matter what I do, even if I block the last filter that is being used, MPC is not loading the Arcsoft Video Decoder!

It's strange, since yesterday I think I saw this decoder being used here. I believe it was called "Microsoft DTV-DVD Decoder" but the colours (which are more vibrant in TMT playback) were similar to what I saw in TMT.

I have the last version from TMT.

Is there something we can do to force MPC-HC to use Arcsoft's VIDEO decoder? I am getting tired of MPC refusing to use the filters I want. Or maybe we can't use their decoder at all?

FFDshow is not blocked, but it's not being used for H264/AVC, VC-1 and MPEG2.

I think I managed to make the whole thing work following what was explained on this site (I would never have guessed myself to do all those things):

However, it's relying on the LAV Splitter Source to display the audio/subtitle streams. Is there a way for me to use another splitter?
