this site provides many players ,there is at least one for you

You found a new name! I think you need help, this is kid’s game and is not funny. If you have a multiple personality desease I think is time to find your name and stop playing with this site.Have you ever heard about IP address? I know is a sleepy supermod on this site but honestly I lost my sense of humour. BTW maybe Bjarne is happy about the clicks so keep playing nobody give a damn about it.

Hey Amdone,
I am having exactly the same issue you were having. I am wondering how you solved it.

I did download but it does not solve the issue.

Please guys let me know what \i need to do.
Thanks

What did you download bou3lam?
If you got the original ffdshow, it doesn’t have H.264, but ffdshow-tryouts does (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/). You may need the check some boxes during installation to enable it though.
Alternatively, you could use VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org)
