No 64bit support? Doesn't work with Vista Business 64bit

It does work, what aspect does not work, using with Ultimate x64 SP1, no problems, but yes it is a 32 bit application and don't even thing about getting proper 64 bit support any time soon

CCCP still supports a lot more codecs.

DivX 7 might have a better performing codec for H.264 (etc.) than CCCP has, in that case you just deactivate ffdshow for those formats and let DivX handle them.

Thanks for this. I guess I will try it after all.

I installed Divx 7 and it did what I wanted it to do, which was allow me to watch H.264 .mkv files through Media Center. Only problem is, it seems to be crashing Media Center when the file stops playing. I'm guessing conflict with FFDShow maybe. Would I be better off just un-installing FFDShow, and using Divx7 for Divx and H.264, then use the Xvid codec separately? Maybe I should un-install Divx7, then re-install it with only the mkv splitter, and use the CoreAVC codec? Any help is always appreciated! Thanks!

DivX and XviD are the same codec, there's no reason to have them, both installed.

Same as ffdshow if you're only using it to play back MPEG-4 ASP content (i.e. DivX/XviD), you don't need both (or all 3) installed at the same time.

I got it working the way I want for the most part, but now I'm having an issue with subtitles within Media Center. This only seems to happen with .mkv files. Sometimes they will work, sometimes they don't. It's very strange. Movies seem to work better than TV shows. I have the file and subtitle file named the same thing in the same directory, yet it still works sporadically. What could be causing this? It's weird, cause it works if I go into FFDShow's video decoder configuration and set the subtitle file as the only one to play. It works with .mkv files that way everytime. If I set it to search for the files, it doesn't always work. I have the right folder setup to look for subtitle files. Is there a better way to play subtitles through Media Center? Using .mkv files as main video source. It seemed to work perfect when I installed Divx7. Could this be because of the splitter that it comes with? Is it Matroska instead of Haali's? Maybe that's the issue. Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!
