x264

Can't play back the movie? Give these suggestions to people that have Downloaded your movie.

1. Try using the VideoLan Client for playback of your files. It has built in x264 support, so installing the ffdshow playback filter, is not required. I don't have ffdshow installed, only VLC, Quicktime and Real Alternatives (which link into Media Player Classic), and Roxio's DVD player. I just use BSplayer cause I like the interface better.

2. Check your CPU stats, if it's below 2GHz you may not be able to play the movie

properly. Turn off other programs running on your computer.

3. Install latest version of ffdshow then play the file with Media Player Classic.

(if it fails, you need to reboot your computer, then run the install again)

Note: ffdshow has been known to cause a few problems.

1. While installing ffdshow make sure you check decoding of x264, and un-check everything else, especially decoding of Xvid (Xvid handles itself fine.) Also un-check post processing in the install, if checked. Also for audio decoding, un-check all boxes.

2. Install the MatroskaSplitter (make sure to check support for avi and mp4)

If you still cant play back the movie, you will need to watch a different version. This is where the Xvid encode comes in.

Xvid

Ship the Xvid codec with your movie and Media Player Classic. Both probably not needed at this point in time but can't hurt to include them.
