mp4 with avisynth using directshow

What kind of streams are in your MP4?

Wilbert, I don't know what streams you mean. All I know is it is MPEG-4. If you want you can download a sample clip from a post above and see if that tells you. Cheers.. .

can you play the file in directshow players (like bsplayer or zoomplayer or wmp, NOT mpc)

Wilbert - The stream is mp4v, 640x480, 29.97fps, 2 channel 16-biit 48kHz for audio and a 1.536 kb/s bitrate. Bond - I can play the Mp4 files with Quicktime 6.5 or 7.x, VLC Player no problem. I just installed BSplayer and it does not play them if that helps.

Your link doesn't work.

Wilber - I had the slashes the wrong way and have fixed the link now if you want to try. Okay so here it is working now: - ffdshow & haali completely uninstalled - Ulead DVD Movie Factory 3.0 installed, upon installation there is an option to install Windows Media components/drivers. I select "yes". - I can play MP4 encoded files using media player directly or by using an AVIsynth script exactly like this: Directshowsource=("xxxxx.mp4") It opens in Virtualdub no problem! I want to know how to do this without having to install Ulead. How can I figure out what was done in my registry or PC and where? I looked on the installation CD and only found a DirectX folder and this file in a directory which appears to be Windows Media 9 encoder files. Any idea?

Oh, is your system 2000 or original XP? Those come with an older version of directx that might not be compatible with Avisynth. DirectX 9.0c is the latest, which ulead probably installed for you.
