Hi all, I used to be able to play DVDs in WMP 10 with no problems. Now when I try I only hear the sound track and see no video (black screen). AVIs are fine. Power DVD is installed and works fine. I've tried reinstalling Windows Media Player 10. I have also tried installing WinDVD and similar. Somethings corrupt (probably the required codec?) but I don't get any error messages. I'd normally give up on Media Player but I'm trying to use PocketDVD to convert DVDs to Pocket PC and that relies on Window media player functioning correctly. Am I able to see which codec is causing the prob (if that's what it is?) using GSPOT or similar. Not tried that yet cos unsure whether DVD is supported. Any support is appreciated. Cheers Matt
So you meant PocketDVD uses dshow for input? Is it possible to render a graph from WMP10 into graphedit? If so you could see what filters are in use.
Thanks for your response celtic_d. I'm afraid you've lost me though! Not sure what you mean. Is Dshow to do with DirectX? I think the PocketDVD thing is a red herring. The main problem is that WMP10 can't show video but can play the sound for DVDs. AVI files play ok. PowerDVD is fine. Cheers Matt
Directshow is the interface that WMP and others use for playback. Your problem was that Pocket DVD doesn't work with DVD sources? The only way that the problem could be releated to WMP is if Pocket DVD used dshow for input and therefor had the same problems as WMP since it would be using the same filters. PoweverDVD, etc. are also dshow based, however they use their own filters always where as WMP and others will use whatever filters have the highest merit. The problem with WMP10 is that it doesn't give you access to any of the filter info, so you can't tell what filters are in use.
