Directshow error unable to render the file

Any help would be very welcome! Also if there is some way to remove codecs in windows xp Or, am I missing something? I have tried to install all codecs conceivable, as well as filters Anybody else ever had the same problem? Yeah, the combination of certain versions of the Nemo pack and XP SP1 seems to be causing problems for some people. There is a very easy way to view installed codecs and remove unwanted ones in XP.

Expand the Sound, Video, and Game Controllers sub-menu, at the very bottom of this should be a "video codecs" entry.

Right-click on this and hit properties, then click on the properties tab of the window that comes up. Here is a list of installed video codecs and a "remove" button below them. What I do is install only the latest DivX codec and let it handle playback of files encoded using older DivX versions. Also, it sounds like you are using Windows Media Player for Playback. I would try some of these alternative players on the off chance that WMP is simply not handling playback codecs properly.

Hope this helps, Prospero. I will nevertheless try and remove them all from this tab BTW, I also tried with Zoom Player, and have the exact same problem btw, the error message in both wmp and zoom is some obscure error message, I only realized the "real nature" of it by using gspot.

I tried PowerDVD just now, and nothing happens at all I am more sceptic about the Nimo pack, but uninstalling it doesn't appear to affect the codecs One other thing I thought of.

Did you try using the "manual filters" option in the player options menu of Zoom Player I don't know if this is in the 2. Just a thought. Discard any data obtained from previous calls to the enumerator and then update the enumerator by calling the enumerator's Reset method.

At least one of the pins involved in the operation is already connected. The operation cannot be performed because the pins are not connected. The allocator was not committed. See IMemAllocator::Commit. Cannot lock for synchronization because no clock has been defined. Quality messages could not be sent because no quality sink has been defined. No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection.

Current pin connection is not using the IOverlay transport. Current pin connection is not using the IMemInputPin transport. The operation could not be performed because the filter is not stopped. The operation could not be performed because the filter is not paused. The operation could not be performed because the filter is not running.

The operation could not be performed because the filter is in the wrong state. This sample cannot be rendered because the end of the stream has been reached. An IOverlay advise link already exists. This advise cannot be canceled because it was not successfully set. Cannot call IVideoWindow methods while in full-screen mode. Cannot play back the video stream: could not find a suitable decompressor. Cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not supported.

Cannot play back the audio stream: the audio format is not supported. Cannot play back the video stream: the video format is not supported. DirectShow cannot play this video stream because it falls outside the constrained standard. Cannot perform the requested function on an object that is not in the filter graph. Could not make the connection because the stream is read-only and the filter alters the data. Pins cannot connect because they don't support the same transport.

I then installed k-lite codec pack and it reloads indeo codec but same problem. The filter it should be using for decoding is the "Indeo video 5. I'd be careful of the codec packs, they are the 1 reason that things get screwed up in the first place. I have the exact same dll - and even copied the ones from my laptop as laptop works fine just to be safe with no change. I updated the merit to match yours and still no luck. Which version of directx and mediaplayer are you running?

I have directx 11, mediaplayer On laptop, they are both 9. Here's another interesting observation, I have Window Media Player Encoder 9 installed and this seems to work - it converts the indeo file fine to wmv. So it appears that only after I upgraded to WMP 10 did things start going wrong. There is no DirectX There is a Media Player 11 however. My system: I have DirectX 9. Media Player 9 build 9. It played fine on other DirectShow based players on this system however. You may or may not be able to uninstall Media Player depending how it arrived on your system.

However to see the uninstall as an option you must select "Show updates". Interesting regarding WMP 11 not being able to play the file. I've been looking online but no luck. Really frustrating - let me know if you have any ideas. I realized that when I installed WMP10 - I have system restore disabled, and now I see a prompt that says you will not be able to revert if system restore is disabled. You'd think there'd be a way of complete uninstalling WMP and then reinstalling WMP9 that you can download from microsoft website.

There might be some 3rd party methods out there but I can't recommend them except as a last resort. WMP10 was packaged with SP2 and would have got installed at that time.
