WINDVD8 platinum and .h264 streams

Hi,
after upgrade from gold to platinum i tried to play .ts files. I had great hopes that is platinum feature would function, but nothing happens - only a blank screen. Also renaming the programmstream to .trp doesn't work.
What filter is reponsable to decode the h.264 streams?. Perhaps it is not installed properly or registered.
any idea - or a work around?

Its look like Windvd 8 does not support H264 Transport Streams I throught it would too.

What happens if you rename *.mov will it play then?

Thanks to Bignickfly for his suggestion but *.mov does not work

In the meantime i found out the work around.
The solution is to rename the streamsuffix in .mp4.(hmm .. container-format)

Now WINDVD8 can play the avc/h.264 transport stream.
The result is pretty good.
Slight problems with the deinterlacing - but richly colorful.
Exact synchronization between video and audio. - hats off!
Most of the features to manipulate the screen-output are greyed out. -what a pitty.

I'm pleased you found a solution, I need to remenber that for when we have H264 transmisions in OZ.

Hi:

I tried renaming the .ts suffix on my captured HD files to .mp4 but I then get an error message "The file number 1 has invalid file format". Is something else required beyond simply changing the file extension?

Thanks
