I'm trying to play a particular .mp4 file in MPC. It's the first .mp4 file I've ever tried to play. It looks like MPC can handle the .mp4 container format, because I get the audio stream (AAC), but no video. The error is as follows: Stream 0 Media Type 0: -------------------------- AM_MEDIA_TYPE: majortype: MEDIATYPE_Video {73646976-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} subtype: Unknown GUID Name {5634504D-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} formattype: FORMAT_MPEG2_VIDEO {E06D80E3-DB46-11CF-B4D1-00805F6CBBEA} bFixedSizeSamples: 0 bTemporalCompression: 1 lSampleSize: 0 cbFormat: 164 Does this mean I need some kind of AVC/H.264 filter? The MPEG_2 part of that error is what is confusing me. If I do need a AVC/H.264 filter, Can anyone recommend a simple filter that I can install, which doesn't require me to use another Media Player application? An open source implementation is probably best :D

@Airw0lf: u need to enable "Divx4" decoding in ffdshow, coz that mp4 is MPEG4 part2 (advanced)simple profile (aka Divx5/XviD, but their FOURCC is MP4V), not h264/AVC. those Nero Digital mp4 trailers is also MPEG4 (advanced) simple profile. that message seems identical but only the "subtype: Unknown GUID Name {31435641-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}" is different, and "31435641" is FOURCC in HEX format, convert the hex form to ASCII is 1cva (spell backwar will be avc1)

it shouldnt matter whether to choose xvid or libavcodec, both are mpeg-4 decoders outputting exactly the same picture (libavcodec is faster tough)
