Black screen when playing VC-1 files in gb-pvr

bigceoguy · 2009-05-27, 02:53 PM

Right now I have a bunch of my blu-ray movies backed up on my hard drive, and I wanted to play them with GB-PVR (I removed the m2ts file containing the main movie with anydvd). The ones encoded with h264 or mpeg-2 play fine, but the ones with vc-1 don't show any video (the file plays back with the audio as normal and a black screen). When I try playing the m2ts file with powerdvd or media player classic, it plays fine. What could be causing it? For what it's worth, I'm using the latest version of gb-pvr, powerdvd 7.3, coreavc, and my video card is an nvidia 8800gs with purevideo.

Does the file play in Windows Media Player?

Nope; I get an "error downloading codec" message.

You could try installing ffdshow
Go to video config and select vc-1 and enable it
