MPV Decoder Filter with EVR on XP - Not actually using EVR

[hick]

I know in some threads people have said that trying to get evr working with dvd's in XP that the MPV Decoder filter was the solution. Well, the MPV decoder filter is the only one that I've gotten to work so far, and it does work, but I've noticed something strange. If you open up graphedit on the the last dvd played when you're trying to use MPV decoder filter, you see that the evr renderer is actually not being used! What is being used is a vmr renderer (vmr input 0 - video renderer 0001). So that's why mpv decoder filter is working?!

So I've been trying some other decoders (ffdshow,dscaler5). In both of these cases, they do create graphs that use the correct evr renderer, but for some reason they either do not start playing or they start for a second and die. Opening up the graphs for these in graphedit they do seem to play.

Any ideas on what's happening here?

EVR on XP is pretty much unsupported. Its definitely not a combination I test. You should either stick to VMR/Overlay on XP, or switch to Vista for EVR.
