I think you should post your link on the website directly, I can't see anything here.

Okay so folks who are having issues with playing back MCEBuddy created WTV files on 64 bit Windows (7 and 8). Thanks for Mark for this answer:

Open FFDShow 64bit Video Configuration from the Start Menu -> ffdshow (assuming you let MCEBuddy install FFDSHOW). Under MPEG-2 and MPEG2 in AVI set it codec to libavcodec.

It should solve your problem. (maybe a reboot is required).

Hi - has there been any progress on this issue? I have Win 8 x64 and experiencing the same problem with WTV uncompressed. I've tried playing the file in Plex, WMC and Jriver Media Center. Plex gives me an error (file not found or something to that effect), WMC complains that codec isn't installed, and JRMC plays the audio of the file, but no video. In fact, it acts like its just an audio file (ie, doesn't launch the video screen that normally accompanies video files).

Thanks!

I thought I just posted the solution above for WMC - I hope you've read it.

I found these settings under Start menu -> ffdshow x64 -> Video decoder configuration x64 and in my case the only decoder set for all formats was libavcodec.

Those who have fixed this issue, or have it working on windows 7 (as far as removing commercials and leaving it in WTV format), is the resulting video fully playable? Does the fast forward and rewind fully work on playback?

I have Win 8 x64 and have the same issue that is described, but I didn't have the settings in FFDShow... under codecs was only listed MPEG2 and MPEG in AVI (I didn't have an MPEG-2 or MPEG2 in AVI option). Both my MPEG2 and MPEG in AVI were already listed as using the libavcodec.

Any other thoughts?

It's working perfectly on a stock build of Windows 7 64bit with only FFDShow (MCEBuddy default install). If you have other codecs/software with codecs installed it may mess it up. On a stock build with FfDShow I've tested it working with MCE and WMP.

Admittedly this isn't a "stock" build of Windows 8 x64 (i've been installing/uninstalling codecs to get them to work), but I can't get uncompressed WTV to work, even trying the above fix. Trying the normal (i guess compressed) WTV worked just fine.

I was using SAF6, but i uninstalled it before installing MCEbuddy. Any thoughts?

OK so now I've gotten it to work in Windows Media Player but NOT Windows Media Player or VLC.

I REALLY hate to beat a dead horse, but the above solution does NOT work on a clean install of Win8 x64 Pro. When I try to open the unprocessed file in Windows Media Center, WMC crashes.

I have it working on Windows 8 64 bit using the WTV processed file with comskip ad removal. It took awhile but it works great now. I have tried unprocessed WTV and windows media center crashes.

I think he's saying the unprocessed works, which is true for me too. The problem seems to be the video. When I change in the profile.config for Unprocessed WTV "order=copy,ffmpeg" to just "order=ffmpeg" it works just fine. It does some encoding and has deinterlace problems, but it plays.

I'm having similar problems with TS files recorded using ArgusTV from HDHR tuners using ATSC. My Hauppauge Colossus files in ts containers work perfectly. The difference seems to be that the Colossus files start off in h.264 format and the HDHR files start off in mpg2 format. I can get the "bad" files to work using GraphStudio and building a graph, but MPC-HC plays them without Audio, VLC won't play them at all, WMP crashes with codec errors, and XBMC plays them with major stuttering.

I had several points actually.

1. It is not just the WTV container that is the issue.
2. Maybe the issue is related to MPEG2 specifically
3. The files I have with these problems are playable if you force the right filters, but something that handles almost everything that is thrown at it like VLC doesn't seem to handle them by default.
4. The issue may also be interfering with the audio. By the way the stuttering in XBMC can be caused by difficulty playing audio so that may be all that is wrong in XBMC.

Would it be possible to just have MCEBuddy run comskip? I mean, is it necessary for there to be any remuxing or anything like that?

Aren't there other ways to just run comskip? The only thing I'm trying to accomplish with it is actually removing the files from ts files. I'm experimenting now with actually transcoding into mkv files, but that is only for troubleshooting this particular issue.

Comskip and many programs don't work on WTV hence the remuxing is a necessary "evil". Again guys, MCEBuddy is not perfect but I've designed it to be very flexible, if it isn't working out of the box, spend some time to see how it works and play with it, create custom profiles, custom remuxing parameters etc. You'll find something that works for you.

I have the donator version of Comskip, and it does work on WTV files. Can I swap out the version MCEBuddy uses and have it not remux? If so, would I just replace the files in "C:\Program Files\MCEBuddy2x\comskip"?

While I know there are other alternatives, I really like the interface of MCEBuddy and would like to use it if possible. And I completely understand being flexible, I'm a tweaker and can never leave well enough alone :-). I appreciate all you do!

Heh heh - I know the feeling of the tweaker which is why MCEBuddy is still alive :)
However, I'm sad to say it isn't feasable with the current architecture since many other programs in between like ccextractor, avidemux, mencoder etc don't support WTV, so the evil remux is necessary.

However like I said it's a remux and not a recode (in most situations), you can use the donator version of Comskip to remux H264 WTV directly into H264 TS and work on that. So that's a tweak you can use to squeeze a little more without losing time/quailty. Refer to the discussion on H264 WTV for more details.

Darn. Oh well, thanks for all the help! Maybe this will be one of those bugs that will just go away with time! Thanks for all the help!!!
