dythim, can you tell me what software you use to do X264 encoding? I would like to convert some of my other  video to X264 but I don't know which software to use.

Thanks in advance!

I've got the following problem when I want to watch episode 166 with vlc 1.6.8.0.

First everything I've got is the voice and a black picture. So I stop the playing and start it again. After this I got the voice and the first picture of the episode (the flag) so I start it again, then I can see the film and hear the voice but the film is allways clogging (i hope this is the correct word I'm not good in english). So what can I do. I already got all the programs ffdshow, Haali's Matroska Splitter. And this vlc contains h.264 and x264. I really have no idea what the problem is.

I finally got it to work! My computer wouldn't let me install ffdshow, but I restart it and it installed fine. Thanks for all the help dythim.

Hello. From what I've seen, it looks like dythim is using MPlayer to reproduce mp4 files, am I correct? I use the win32 release of mplayer, and I'm rather reluctant in sticking to another player. The problem is, the player hangs up after ~1-2 seconds of playback. I hear the music 'til it hangs, but there's no video (I tried episode 166. Since you didn't say much, I'm making a couple questions:
does mplayer need dshow filter, thus ffdirectshow and everything? I installed ffds, but still mplayer won't work.
if it works for you, what version of mplayer do you have?
did u put any extra filter in the \codecs folder?

Arigatou

I see, I see... Thank you for the quick answer. Well, I guess I'm forced to use windows media player, for a while, then
The reason I can't survive without mplayer (other than it rocks, of course) is that I like to burn it along with my videos on my DVDs, so that with a small autorun program I can play a video on any machine with no stress, skipping the "install codec/reboot/pray" part.
Since the MPlayer staff seems to be idle lately, I guess I'll just try to bung the video stream into a matroska container...
Btw I think QT should explode right now me too
Well, thx

No changes... mplayer still freezes. It must be some H264 decoding issue. Well, I really hope they're gonna fix it, whatever it is, or I'll have to re-encode everything
NeoChopper: I've just tried wmp, and I had no problems at all. The playback sucks up to 30% of my cpu, but I guess it's normal.
The quality is awesome (how is it in jap, "tsukei"? :p )

Hi, I installed everything.. but when I tried to play the AVS file with VirtualDub is shows me this window :

My CPU ranges from the 30-40% range with ffdshow.

Well I found my problem.. It's WMP. Cursed thing..

Alrighty, first the bad news.  I have no clue what the "ATI File Player" is.  The good news is that it sounds like a piece of shit.

Open up Start->Run, and enter this in the box which comes up:
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe

That will open up the program Windows Media Player version 6.4, or WMP6.4 for short.

Try to drag the file onto that window and see if it will play.  If it does, excellent, and I will show you how to make MP4 files open with that program by default.  If not... we'll try harder.

I've downloaded everything.

Multiple freakin' times.

Seriously, I'm at the end of my rope here. No matter what I do, I always get the same error message. It says, and I quote, "Couldn't open the file [K-F]_One_Piece_166_[60426ECF].mp4 because an unknown error occured. The number of the error is: -8971"

What should I do?

1. Currently using WMP, although 166 is saved as a Quicktime file.
2. I don't know. How would I go about checking that?
3. Every other OP episode (as well as Bleach and Sergeant Keroro) is working just fine.

kebochu:

Xvid, X264, and DivX are all "codecs".  They each have their own decoder which is able to read files encoded in each codec (codec is a combination of the words "compress" and "decompress").  A codec pack is then, a program which contains several codecs, i.e. how ffdshow is able to decode XviD, DivX, X264, and a whole slew of other ones.

It's kind of hard to list all of the codec packs in the world, but all of your installed programs will be listed under Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.

The ones I know of are Leo, K-Lite, ffdshow, CCCP, Nero.  But hopefully if you have any others, it will say "codec pack" in the program name.


Smerph:
1) Try using WMP6.4 instead of the latest WMP (10 I think?).  Quicktime may have registered itself to play .mp4 files, but you do not want it to.  Click on Start -> Run, and enter this: C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\mplayer2.exe     After that, a window will pop up and you should be able to drag the MP4 onto it.
2) Check under Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
3) Good.
