1. Try using the VideoLan Client for playback of your files. It has built in x264 support, so installing the ffdshow playback filter, is not required. I don't have ffdshow installed, only VLC, MPC.


2. Check your CPU stats, if it's below 2GHz you may not be able to play the movie

properly. Turn off other programs running on your computer.


3. Install latest version of ffdshow then play the file with Media Player Classic.

(if it fails, you need to reboot your computer, then run the install again)


Note: ffdshow has been known to cause a few problems.

1. While installing ffdshow make sure you check decoding of x264, and un-check everything else, especially decoding of Xvid (Xvid handles itself fine.) Also un-check post processing in the install, if checked. Also for audio decoding, un-check all boxes.


2. Install the MatroskaSplitter (make sure to check support for avi and mp4)


If you still cant play back the movie, you will need to watch a different version [just /q COOBA` on #explosin.et @ Qnet and you should get link with other version]

[PS. all soft/codecs you can find on http://x264.nl/ ]
