Problem with MKV files?
Hello,
I've got some mkv files that have 2 audio streams that I've been having some serious problems with. If I use the sageplayer (to handle non mpeg2 video), the video plays, but I have to quickly change the audio from AAC to AC3 inorder for anything to work. If I use directshow, then I get just a black screen and no audio (log file attached). I've also tried: 1. setting 'EnableSageTVStreamDemux' to 0 in the registry 2. Installing various codecs (xvid, divx, even that shark codec that was mentioned in a post today) 3. I've updated to the latest ATI Catalyst drivers Nothing seems to work. The weird part is that it plays fine in the divx player, windows media player, and vlc player... Any ideas? Sorry: Forgot my specs: Win7 x64 On board video (ATI 4290) Currently just the shark codec pack installed |

The registry edit was the key to making everything work... My problem was that I wasn't creating it in the 'virtual store'...so I guess sage didn't see it. Once I set the demux properly, everything started to work...
Because it's in the virtual store, do I need to make the registry edit for EACH user? Btw The smooth playback post (http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...8&postcount=10) worked great...I'm not a huge fan of codec packs, but this one certainly made things easier! |

Hey rwc. Glad my post helped!
Just so you know, the registry change you made isn't needed to get things working. Sage's demuxer connects perfectly to the PowerDVD10 decoder.
