You need enable decoding H264 in FFDShow DXVA settings or register in system filter MPCVideoDecoder.ax

I registered just to thank you, tiben, for working on this. I recently started using XBMC only to find that it wouldn't play half of my videos for unexplained reasons (kept seeing "unable to obtain codec parameters" etc, but all of my files were pretty standard). Once I realized that it wasn't using directshow, I immediately started seeking out a solution. Ultimately I resolved to go with the option that looks to be supported in the future, that being your work with DSCodec. After a bit of a struggle I managed to build my own release from your git source and got everything setup correctly with ffdshow -- I used K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (and the 64-bit pack as well) along with AC3Filter -- and since finally getting everything running I haven't had a single video that wouldn't play. The only thing I'd like to see is CoreAVC, but I wanted to personally thank you for everything you've done so far! Keep up the good work!

Hi guys, finally ready to experiment with this. The only thing I'm not sure about is which version to download - the normal one or the _video one? I mainly want to run reclock as an audio renderer, but might play with using other video codecs too.
1) What are the pros and cons of each version?
2) Are the prebuilt installers of a version new enough that have the audio renderer GUI stuff?
3) If not, are there any instructions for building from source, or any other built versions?

On playback - check the Audio settings via the OSD - on these files the volume is set to 0 - use the slider to increase volume.

So I installed that latest build ready to create the XML... but found that I couldn't find where to place it! I don't seem to have a default file in my clean install. Any tips?
Or yes, perhaps I should just wait for Tiben.
