Im having trouble getting one of my videos to work on windows media player. Its a .mkv formated and i have the codec to run the video which is the Combined Community Codec. and i have a a few other codecs and i recently installed a AMVapp pack which contains a variety of codecs. WMP always plyed my .MKV videos fine until today when i tried playing it, i get this message:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Visual C++ - Runtime Library

Program: ...rogram Files/Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe

For more information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts

This is the first time ive seen something like this and usually when i have problems with codecs or missing files stuff like that it was alot easier to solve but this is...ugh, cant find out whats wrong. if anyone needs more info, ask and ill list some more. I think, maybe prolly the AMVapp umm..mest it up, but im not so sure. PLEASE HELP!

I would have to guess that the ffdshow that is installed with the AMVapp is causing this chaos. My suggestion is to uninstall any copies of ffdshow on your computer (CCCP's, AMVapp's, etc.), reboot and reinstall the latest CCCP version.

okie, ill give it a try. then should i uninstall the whole CCCP and then reinstall the CCCP? or just uninstall the ffdshow?

forget what i just wrote, i meant, i should uninstall AMVapp and CCCP then reinstall CCCP right. but i still need AMVapp since it comes with some err...ecoders and stuff i need such as the HYUV thingy and the Lagarith. can i still install it or should i just download the stuff seperatly instead of the whole AMVapp pack?

While you install the AMVapp, it should have an option to skip installation of some parts, like ffdshow. If you've already uninstalled it, then while reinstalling, you'll get to a screen that will allow you to choose components to install. Uncheck anything you don't want, such as FFDshow, DVD Decrypter (if you've installed the last version 3.5.4.0, AMVapp comes with 3.5.2.0), and DGMPGDec (1.4.8 is the latest), for example.

You could install all those other codecs and utilities separately if you prefer, especially if there are newer versions available (FFDshow, DVD Decrypter, DGMPGDec, Lagarith, etc.)
