Release for Windows 7 64-bit (08/18/2009)

can I get the link too.. it keeps taking me back to the main page and I am having some problems with win 7 64 bit

CyberLink have released a 64 bit version of PowerDirector 9, but does not recognise the DivX Plus codec pack, when installed on a 64 bit operating system. DivX works fine if PowerDirector 9 is installed on a 32 bit operating system.
So, can this be rectified, if so, is it DivX or CyberLink who need to rectify the problem

Hi All,

I am using the latest version of Divx Player plus to stream my 1080 mkv files to my xbox 360 and everything works perfectly. The issue that I am having is that my windows media center pc memory utilization goes to almost 100% when streaming an mkv file in this manner. I am running Windows 7 64 bit, 4 GB of ram and intel Quad Core 6700 processor. I have since upgraded my windows media center PC to 8 GB and I thought that would take care of the problem. But, the same thing is still occuring. Almost the full 8 GB is being used when streaming my 1080 files to xbox 360. The reason why this is a big issue is because windows media center become unresponsive if I tried to use another xbox 360 extender. If I convert the 1080 mkv file to wtv, I can both stream the 1080 file while my wife uses another extender to watch a previously recorded program such as Grey's Anatomy. I know that I can convert everything to WTV using dvrmstoolbox. However from my experience, I have stuttering issues with some files when they are in this container. Whereas, I experience absolutely no issues if I use divx player to stream those same files to the xbox 360.

My question is - Is there anyway to use the Divx player plus to stream 1080 mkv files to my xbox 360 without bringing my windows media center pc to its knees because of extremely high memory utilization. By the way, my cpu utilization is not very high.

Any help or thought would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,

Having a prob with some of my HD movies freezing up on the xbox. Some of the movies start off fine and play for a little bit then it locks up for about a minute or so.. after the lockup it plays again then locks again.. process repeats throughout the movie.. this happens with a lot of my hd mkv movies.. What can I do to fix this?

Running Windows x64 (recently reformatted). The xbox is on a Wireless-N adapter- i don't think bandwidth is the problem.

Please let me know if you need any details.

I had reinstalled it, but i still can't get the audio kindly help me with the issue.

I tried your solution out yesterday and it was amazing. Worked immediately and I added all my movies ready for the multimedia bliss that the xbox should have provided from the beginning.

Here's the thing, when I woke up this morning none of my mkv files played on the xbox.. I can connect to the media center from my xbox and see all my movies, but when I try to play them I get the regular error message saying that I do not have the right codec and need to restart my pc or media center.

I had a clean setup with no extra codec and I have tried the R3 version as well as the one on the main article. I even tried installing an additional codec pack on top of it to see if it would work then..

I can't really see what I have done wrong and why it worked yesterday and not today, any tips??

I get stuttering and lag in Windows Media Center with both 1080p and 720p mkv playback. My system is running 7 professional x64 with an AMD x2 5000+ (2.6GHZ), and a gtx 260. Is there something that I need to do on my end to enable hardware acceleration?

It works great with mkv-files,
but there are no thumbnails with .divx

This worked for me, thank you very much

R3 works well with Win 7, 64 bit. Thanks a lot.

I am running the retail version of windows 7 x64 professional fully updated and the program will not work. It installed but WMP still wouldn't play MKV files. I tried running it again and got an error that the program did not install correctly and I let windows try to reinstall the program with "correct settings." Now I get an error that it must be installed on windows 7 RC1 or later. As I said I am running the retail version so this error should not be coming up. It is on my desktop and it is being run as an administrator.

I can copy it somewhere else and it will try to install again but the error that it did not install correctly keeps coming up and I cannot play MKV files.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 version 6.1.7600 Build 7600 (the final release). When trying to install R3, I get the following error:

DivX Tech Preview: MKV on Windows 7 can only be installed on Windows 7 RC1 or later.

sound works in normal divx files. not in MKV files. Tried this to fix the issue but no dice video is great but there is no audio:>( tried all day. installed 3+ times. confused...
sleep now...

WMP can run my .mkv fine if I click on the movie files, but when within library, it will not show lenght of film, not allow to seek ect.
Have the same problem.

About efficiency:
.mkv - 1st serie of TBBT
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1280x720 23.98fps [Video]
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch [Audio]

In MP Classic - 20-30% of CPU load
In MP 12 x64 - 16%-24%. Same in x32 WMP.

Also I'm adjusting brightness with ffdshow in MPC, so mb it's the case.
In WMP there is internal video properties adjustments, but, sadly, it isn't worked for .mkv. So - field for your work guys. I hope u can get it act on next release)

I actually started having some playback issues on my xbox 360 when I updated the Tech Preview to R3. Files that worked on R2 would give me a playback error on R3 (I uninstalled R2 then installed R3 with restarts after both). My original set up included K-Lite version 5.0.3 (Full) + AC3 Filter 1.6.2b + R2.

To try and remedy this issue I removed the redundancy of AC3 Filter and updated K-Lite to 5.0.7 (Full) and R3. This actually caused more playback problems, and also seemed to have caused the access of the Videos section to slow to a crawl, taking 3 minutes instead of 3 seconds.

Now I am currently running R3 + AC3 Filter 1.6.3b + Halli Media Splitter 1.9.42.1. on Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate Build 7100. All previous video files now playback on the xbox 360, including some that weren't working before.

However, I am still having a problem with one particular file. I get the audio playback on the xbox 360 but there is no image. I have yet to fix this issue and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to fix this. If you want more info on the file, or need the file yourself, let me know.

Thanks a bunch for these updates though, I'm sure we'll all get it right here soon.

I am not having much luck with this. Win7 RC 64bit, installed ac3filter 1.63 > r3, no other codecs present (that I know of)

WMP can run my .mkv fine if I click on the movie files, but when within library, it will not show lenght of film, not allow to seek ect.

XBOX 360 extender can only see the .mkv files if in mediacenter mode, but movies with DTS,have audio only.

What is it I am doing wrong here?

First of all, great work. It's awesome to be able to use media extenders and streaming over the internet through WMP for my MKVs.

On my desktop (RTM), everything looks great. On my laptop however (both in the RC and RTM), I get the aspect ratio issues when I hook it up to my 1080p TV (through HDMI). This only seems to occur for files that have a 1.85 aspect ratio. They seem to play fine on the laptop screen (aspect looks good) but when I hook it up to the tv, they get the black blocks on the sides and sometimes on the top.

as the title says, if not any tentative period when we can expect? :-)
Thanks

Thanks a lot. I can finally watch high-res stuff on my 360. It even made the resume function work as intended.

Hiya all, i've got a small issue with the 64bit release here. I can't get Windows Media Center to show the MKV files on my xbox 360, it just doesn't show the files there. I rebuilt the libraries in Windows Media Center just to be sure it included the mkv files, didn't work. These files DO show up and play fine in Windows Media Center on the laptop, just not via the extender.

I'm running the v3 release on Win 7 Pro 64bit, clean install, no codec packs etc installed, except for the AC3filter v 1.63b(because the sound did not work on a lot of my mkv files, which have 5.1 AC3 streams). Windows Media Player 12 does show (and play) the mkv files in the libraries on the laptop locally, but i can't seem to discover my laptop via the normal video libraries function on the xbox 360 anymore either, it doesn't detect my laptop.

Windows Homegroup is disabled, media sharing is enabled for all the libraries, so i'm kind of at a loss on how and why this is happening. The mkv files also work perfectly when playing them with Windows Media Player Classic Home Cinema, so it's not the files i think. The sample files provided here in the forum don't show up either (they work fine locally though).

Guess it's something wrong here, i just don't know what. Anyways, thanks a lot to divx for releasing the 64bit version, and for all the work u guys have put in it so far, keep it up! =)

For the most part, the mkvs work amazingly well on the xbox360 media center extender. This is definitely the best thing to happen to xbox in a long time.

I have found that the ones that do not work show up in WMP, but do not have a Length of time associated with the video. When I try playing them when in the WMP library, they start but you cannot click on a point in the middle of the movie without it taking you to the very beginning of the movie.

When I try playing the same file when in windows explorer, the file opens up in WMP and I can click on any point in the movie without a problem.

As for the xbox360 Media Center extender (the important part), these same files have a working thumbnail, but when trying to play them there is a message similar to "The files needed to play this video are either missing or not working. Please restart your pc or xbox30." Restarting both do not fix the problem.

Any ideas on fixing this problem?

Great release, thank you!

I can't get the DIVX MKV filter to playback at 'faster' speeds? (like 1.5x, 2x, etc)
Are there plans to support this? Or does it not support this?

If it doesn't support different playback speeds, then it's no different than the DirectShow MKV filters.

And how to get AC3/DTS passthrough working completely? IT's just silence.

At least with DirectShow variants DTS/AC3 pass through works as expected.

i am getting the error must be installed on Windows 7 RC 1 or later....

im running build 7100 of the release candidate, should this not install?

it works but Audio is 2.1, unless theres a fix, i will be waiting for my conversions to finish rather than streaming the MKV.

is there any hope for 5.1, i think the audio is DTS.

Nice one. Been waiting for this forever!!!

Nice to see 64 bit support. I can't wait to start playing around with this. On one of the videos that I loaded up in Media Center, subtitles were not displaying correctly. Is subtitle support coming in a later release?

I'm playing through a Gigabit Network from Win 7 64bit Media Center to my 360. Finally the Dream has been realized Thank You!

Hummm I just installed the one released today, and while WMP will now see and play .mkv I can not switch between language files. On VLC I and see the the 2 different audio tracks but only the 1 on WMP?

Installed latest preview and loaded 64-bit wm player (not that from x86 folder) but sadly it won’t show any performance boost. At present moment I tried with Athlon64 (Newcastle S754) cpu clocked at 2070 MHz and yes I do not have any hardware accelerated video card (its only ATI x800XT-pe)

Just posted this on TheGreenButton but thought it should probably go here too.

Okay tested for a few minutes. I'm getting bad blockiness on some 1080p files, but from what I understand, that's an ATI issue, nothing to do with this splitter. On the 360, those 1080p files seem to be giving me just a black screen. (Assume just that the 360 can't handle the bitrates? I sort of thought it'd play what it can natively and transcode the rest, but that might not be possible.)

Also, on 1080p files (the ones that play without the blockiness), I seem to be getting vertical black bars where there shouldn't be. (In fact it's showing black bars on all 4 sides, where the files are encoded without them there and they've played fine before).

Finally, I had to install AC3filter's ACM stuff to get audio to the 360 as an extender. Is there any way to configure it to do HDMI passthrough on the main PC though? I checked off all the settings in the AC3config utility for that, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on the ACM codec.

Also, on my x86 laptop with the second preview and Win 7 RC, I just noticed that it's not keeping the aspect ratio. The same 1080p files that are giving me black bars on the HTPC (files are exactly 1920x1080 resolution, and so is the monitor) are being stretched to fill the screen of my laptop (1280x800 resolution). Not that my laptop can play back the files without skipping, just pointing out what I found when I was trying to check to see why the windowboxing.
