Broken Video Renderer
 

I had some Macintosh MOVs I needed to decode and installed two sofware products for this purpose: latest Quick Time Alternative and Haali Media Splitter (for MP4). Later it became apparent the both packs are useless and I uninstalled them both using their uninstallers.

Now the big problem. My video renderer has lost the capability to display RGB32 video. Now BSPlayer inserts a Color Space Converter after ffdshow decoder AND because of that the aspect ratio of the video currently playing cannot be carried to the renderer.

What can be done about it? I tried the magical solution to DllRegisterServer QUARTZ but it did not help. It's an embarassing codec pack trouble. :oops:

Probably reinstalling QTalternative and another MP4 splitter, such as Gabest may help solving the problem. It won't hurt keeping them on your computer.

I've remedied this situation by unchecking "allow intermediate filters" in BSPlayer's preferences. I have Gabest's MP4 but whenever an *.mp4 needs to be tested the standalone MPC is sufficient. This splitter cannot properly demultiplex the MOV variation of MP4 and therefore must be registered and unregistered all the time.

I've had 1 or 2 files that had some problems but not more than that. So, Gabest splitter works OK for me in here. Gabest as in MPC. :wink:
