when I try to play .MKV files. Reclock says that the video cannot be found and stays RED. Is there a solution or is reclock just not compatible with .MKV hd-files?
well, we all have had that exact same problem at some point.
it works perfectly fine with a clean windows installation, then it gets worse and worse.....to the point that it doesn't work anymore and needs a clean windows reinstallation.
at this point it happens to me with SOME avi/mkv and Haali's Renderer(but not all, and some work 50% of the time) and before I reinstalled XP SP3 it was happening with .mov(sometimes 29.976 for 23.976, 25fps for 23.976, or the usual "no video stream found").
I dunno where Reclock gets the frame rate info......as usually an audio renderer is not supposed to care about it.
so it's prolly no getting it the "official" way through IMediaType/CheckMediaType()
if you try the beta Remoulade h264 decoder, it says 23.976 in your player but 25fps in Reclock.
I would guess that it's using a hack through some DirectX DLL.....that gets overwritten at some point, and that's it.
it seems that Reclock is using some hack to get the frame rate info for Overlay/VMR7/VMR9(the 3 officially supported renderers, it says "frame rate found in cache"), but for the other renderers(EVR/HR/KMP D3D) it seems to rely on something that gets corrupted over time......and that only a fresh OS reinstall will fix
some registry corruption ?! but where ?!?!!?!?!!
I've mailed
ogo on his personal french ISP email, but the man considers Reclock to be an old story now that he's sold the code to Slysoft.
and Slysoft prefers to let it die in a drawer(god bless 60Hz judder :disagree: )......so I'm gonna reinstall a clean windows XP SP3 in the forthcoming days I guess :bang:
