FFDshow is what VLC uses, so if VLC can play it, then FFdshow cant, its MPC thats unable to read the AVI file correctly. I can play other .avi and .mp4 files encoded with a h264 video stream fine in MPC.

Hmm, strange. FFdshow's homepage hasent been updated since 2004, but there are websites on the net that have a version that was released on September 3, 2006.

Anyway, I am certain that ffdshow has a h264 decoder, ive seen it. I dont know why this file isn't playing in MPC but I doubt its an h264 codec issue. Every other player that isnt VLC or mplayer was unable to play this file either, it didnt create a correctly formatted AVI, vlc just manages to ignore the errors.

Again, no matter if any codec can decode H.26 video streams if that codec is not registered onto the "H264" FourCC in the Windows registry! I think this is one of the major problems why you can't play the video with any media player: it tries to open the file, with the help of the registered codec, but finds none, so it displays "unknown format" or similar and gives up. However, if a media player - notably MPlayer - uses its own database or codec registration system then it may be able to find the correct decoder for such streams...

As for ffdshow, the link I wrote above does give you a quite recent download, even if the main page, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/ , is damn old, for some weird reason... (Erm, 2006 September? Do those web pages come from the future?! )

Fairly sure it does register as a h264 decoder.

Sorry, I meant August.
