Problem playing MKV with VC-1 video

[Fxp]

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to play the following 1080p video on my PS3 using PS3 media center:

Container...........: Matroska
Video Encoder.......: VC-1 (Untouched Video)
Video Aspect Ratio..: 1.78:1 (1920x1080)
Audio Codec.........: DTS
Audio Bitrate.......: 1536 kbit/sec
Audio Channels......: 5.1 channnels
Subtitles...........: Dutch + English
Source..............: Blu-Ray
File Size...........: 13,6 GB
DXVA compliant......: Yes

All I get after trying all the video engines is "corrupt data" error message. Is VC-1 codec the problem?

Sorry,

1) Core2 Duo 4500 2.2 Ghz processor & 2 GB RAM
2) Wired connection
3) Corrupted data error while playing 1080p video encoded with VC-1
4) Used all engines
5) Debug file

ok
with mencoder, you can try to get the "wvc1dmod.dll" file here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/release ... 071007.zip
and copy it into ps3mediaserver/win32/codecs/

with tsMuxer, that's normal, VC is not (or badly) supported natively by ps3

with Avisynth, the file does not seem to work, and I can't see why (that's the trouble with AviSynth)
you should try to launch (on your computer) the temporary .avs script file created into your <windows temp folder>/javaps3media folder

I would honestly suggest sticking to L4.1 re-encodes for anything VC-1, that way you get to use tsmuxer which is 1000x preferred then transcoding at all, since you're re-encoding the vc-1 anyway during a transcode. You lose quality either way, so best to use the easier method.

Thanks, after putting dll file in codecs folder, movie started playing.

Shagrath, why "wvc1dmod.dll" is not included in newest PMS versions? And this file is sufficient or better to copy all files from "windows-essential-20071007" for better file compatibility and support?
Thanks
