I have like 2000 wmv files on my HDD and I can open and play them all. Using the Windows codecs and FFDshow too (FFDshow ffdshow_rev4043 20111118 - IIRC latest for Win2k SP4).
However recently I encountered two WMV files, that are of high resolution and cannot be opened.
They just won't start playing. If this is because they are so CPU hungry, then I tried to open them in VirtualDub. I like the fccHandler WMV plugin a LOT ( http://gral.y0.pl/~fcchandler/ ). With the latest v2.8 it seems to be absolutely flawless and open all the WMV files I ever encounter... untill now.
Some suxxka produced a 1920x1080 WMV files that this plugin cannot handle at all. The fact that I cannot even play them (and that the sample is very likely a p0rn or some weird kinky sort) is IMHO not a reason for not being able to actually open the file, right?
Plugins should not have a "taste" and open only more interesting stuff.
However there are the sample video (273MB, did not find anything smaller, another example is 300MB...) that cannot be opened, much less played by VirtualDub with the WMV v2.8 fccHandler plugin. Anyone can tell me why and is this fixable? Ulozto.cz show preview of this file w/o a glitch... so the file itself should be video and should be playable / possible to open in VirtuaDub. But upon opening it show just a green video screen with nothing on it. Not cool. BSplayer looks that it is playing, but show only empty screen. Same MediaPlayer Classic. Help?
