I know I have 29 video CODECs, that is what is shown in my guids.ini file. VIDEOCODEC=29.....I have 9 H264 CODECs. But I can only select from 4 VIDEOCODECs (Intervideo, DScaler, FFDShow, and Null). I have one additional on the audio side...the AC3 CODEC. The H264 I have CoreAVC and Null as my only selections.

Question is, how do I get DD to recognize all my CODEC's? I'm using DD 1.4i. I'd to either use the nVidia CODEC or the Cyberlink, I just don't have the option to select them. My guids.ini is attached, and it looks just like the one posted by rel in Jan of 2008.

I have read and searched for a solution but I could have missed something. I also have MT installed and it sees most of my CODECs I have installed.

Help please.

Use a program like "Direct Show Filter Mananger" and verify that the CLSID numbers of the codecs installed on your system match the CLSID numbers listed in your guids.ini file.

Yes and increase the merit in dsfmgr for the preferred codec. I would only attempt one codec at a time for testing, there are too many problems to bother with multiple codecs.

Yes and increase the merit in dsfmgr for the preferred codec.

Adjusting merit values has only created problems on every machine I tried. Dvbdream can select any codec listed in the guids.ini, so why play with merit values?
