Windows 8 - Problems with preview/cutting window

[DragonQ]

I upgraded to Windows 8 the other day (fresh install) and now TS-Doctor doesn't seem to work properly. When I load the preview/cutting window, it either gives me a "Source could not connect to demuxer. Reinstall Haali splitter!" error, or it just uses LAV Splitter even though I've told it to use Haali Splitter.

I installed Haali Splitter during the TS-Doctor install but I've also tried installing it separately. This happens with the latest release version and latest beta version.

My settings are below:

There is something wrong with the LAVFilters: Loading filter LAV Video Decoder and adding to graph failed

Just checked with my Windows 8 (x64) and the LAVFilters are working perfect. Try to uninstall the LAVFilters and reinstall them with the TS-Doctor under settings/supported tools/LAVFilters.

[DragonQ]

I uninstalled LAV Filters 0.53 then installed version 0.51.3 via TS-Doctor but I get the same error. Interestingly, the DirectX Log now says the graph creation is successful:

Very strange.

This I get with Windows 8 and LAVFilters.

It seems that there is a problem for the DirectShow graph to get the duration of the video. Try to fix the video first. Just open the file and press "Create new file" to create a new fixed file. Open the fixed file and check if preview is working on the fixed file.

[DragonQ]

Hmmm well I told it to take out the scrambled areas (I usually don't do this because it's always the last half a second, which is going to get cut off anyway) and save it, then re-imported that saved file and the cutting/preview window works properly.

I wonder why this is necessary now when it wasn't under Windows 7? Of course it might be to do with something else that changed (since it was a clean install of Windows but I can't think of what would cause this issue.

[Cypheros]

I don't think it's the new Windows version because there isn't changed much regarding DirectShow. I guess the scrambled packets creating problems during calculation of the duration. The media player needs the timers from the start and from the end because duration = end time - start time.

If the start or the end of the file is scrambled, one timer could not be read and the calculation of the duration failed.
