I have installed ratDVD. I'm running windows XP. I have windows media player 10 installed, Power DVD installed, Direct X 9.0 installed. When I try to play in media player the player searches for a codec to play the file. It cant find the codec so it only plays the audio. Any suggestions from anyone?

Hi
Are you playing them back on the same pc that RatDVD is on ?
Because you have to have it installed on a pc even if you are only
using it to play back on.

just out of curiosity ... what quality setting did you choose when you converted it?
When I converted at default (95) it would play. When I converted at highest (150) it would not play.

I'm trying to play it back on the same pc that I have ratDVD installed on. I even uninstalled and reinstalled ratDVD but still no good. It won't play on Power DVD either.
I converted at a setting of 120. I havn't tried the default setting yet.

I tried 100 and 150 on Res Evil 2. The 100 setting gave me an unwatchable movie and 150 gave me errors.
The one movie I did at 95 worked, but the quality is not impressive. I can't get any other player to play the file. So far only Media Player works.

I don't see it that way. According to their site you need "WinXP, DirectX9, Windows Media Player 10 and a DVD software player". PowerDVD, WinDVD, Roxio DVDMax, and Nero Showtime are all software DVD players. I think people had problems with ZoomPlayer and that's why it is mentioned in the FAQ's.
But I can tell you it doesn't work on the players I mention above. At least not for me. I wish it did.

i had problems with it on Zoom Player too....what i did to get around this, is installed the dvd codec that came with my ati video card, and boom....works fine now :) this may be of use to those of you with ati cards that have that particular codec handy...normally it will be on the install disc.

From the RatDVD website
Quote:
Double clicking a ratDVD file allows playback in Media player (or Zoom, MPC, etc.) with the complete DVD feature set
So if your trying to use Zoom Player without the dvd feature enabled
it wont work.You also need the filters set up correctly as according
to their website.
Quote:
PowerDVD, WinDVD, Roxio, DVDMax, and Nero Showtime
Theres a good reason these players aren't mentioned on the website,
because they dont work with Ratdvd files !

Windows Media Player 10 is also a software DVD player. Trust me it is does work, so there must be something wrong with your system.

I see now that I was not clear in my response - Windows Media Player works perfectly (as Media Player goes). I was speaking of the other players like PowerDVD, WinDVD, Nero, etc. Since the ratDVD site mentions "a software DVD player", I assumed any decent version should work. This is not the case for me and apparently for everyone else, so the subject is closed for me.
I would argue with you that my computer works just fine, but I might be stretching the truth. It works as well as can be expected - minor glitches and all.
How good is Zoom Player? Does the standard version do everything one would need - or does it pay to pay for the advanced version?

From the updated ratdvd.dk faq from today:
Quote:
How can I play back ratDVDs? Do I really need Media Player 10?
ratDVDs is a special format that due to its advanced features needs a special set of filters for playback. These playback filters get installed when you install ratDVD and register in the system.
Once they are registered every player can use them. One player which does this is Windows Media Player. Other players often need some modifications in order to "understand" the ratDVD extension and so uselize the correct filters. If a player does not work this is probably because he does not "know" the .ratdvd extension and uses the from set of filters.
To enable every player to play back ratDVDs I released the filters for integration into every player for download here. Everyone is welcome to use it as he wants - if you have questions regarding the integration contact me at the email address below.
So, in summary, currently there are not that many players that do the playback but it should only be a days work to integrate it into a player that can work with DirectShow filters.

I also cannot get media player 10 to play ratdvd files by double clicking on the (ratDVD) file. Crashes almost immediately...
...however, I found it will play the file just fine by starting media player 10 first and then drag and drop the ratDVD onto it. Plays it everytime.
....Unsure why this works but this is how I can view the output ratDVD file on my XP SP1 machine,
awlchu
PS ratDVD is a great app! As a parent of two boys that think throwing DVDs like frisbies is fun......

Might be a resource issue - trying to launch Media Player 10 while dealing with the rat file. If you already have Media Player open, then it is only dealing with the file. Just a thought.
I get errors with the really big files sometimes, but it usually plays anyway.

hello
i'm sorry i really can't play my .ratDVD file using Windows Media Player 10 or other software.
I don't know why, the processing of encoding DVD to .ratDVD seems to have worked without errors.
Other Ideas?

I seem to be having the same problem, where I have no issues encoding the DVD, in this case "My Incredibles", and I can see the video playing back in ratDVD if I open the file as if I was about to convert back to DVD.
I have tried many different players, including WMP10, and I get the error where it crashes with this message:
AppName: wmplayer.exe AppVer: 10.0.0.3646 ModName: FFDShow.ax
ModVer: 1.0.2.3 Offset: 001207db
Any ideas anyone?

Ok, just for the hell of it, I uninstalled the latest FFDShow that I downloaded "ffdshow-20020617.exe" and downloaded installed a previous version "ffdshow-20020606.exe", then played the ratDVD file in WMP10 and it worked. I have not tried to install the latest over the top to see if the problem is the latest FFDShow, any one game?

If you check the bottom of the ratdvd faq page, it tells you that it has a problem with Media Center Edition. Ran into the same problem myself. They are "working" on it.
"Playback of .ratDVD files does not work in Windows Media Center Edition
The current version of the playback navigation filter tries to hook the video window of the Media Player in order to react on user input. Since I was not able to hook said window in MCE, for now you cannot playback .ratDVD files in MCE. I am working on a solution for this?"
