""""does File Information say what codec it's using?"""""
It says literally
ACM codec (tag): Windows Media Audio V2 (0x0161)
I have no idea which of ACMs is opening it over here. All I can remember, I uninstalled fccHandler's AC3-ACM prior to getting WMA-V2 back to work.
Sorry, fccHandler! Either this codec was causing some conflicts, or other soft was not friendly to this codec, but... In Control Panel -> Audio -> Devices -> Properties opening this AC3-ACM's settings dialog always caused several other codecs to disappear from list. So, I removed it. And later on I discovered VD is able to play WMA-V2 again.
G-Spot reports quarz.dll -> msaud32.acm and msadds32.ax as being responsible for WMAudioV2.
G-Spot also shows qasf.dll -> wmadmod.dll -> quartz.dll as a decoder chain to play the files. |

fcchandler's AC3-ACM has nothing to do with WMA. If you have AC3-ACM chosen to open WMA (and other audio types) then that is your error, not fcchandler's.
Virtualdub reports wma1 and 2 audio as DivX audio and uses DivX Audio codec to decode wma1 and wma2.
On my PC, GSpot uses DMO WMAudio Decoder DMO to decode WMA. Virtualdub does not.
If you are able to open wma1 and 2 in VDub then you must have either DivX WMA Audio Codec or DivX 3.11 installed on your machine.
I assume you also need to be running Virtualdub 32 bit with all the 32 bit plugins and codecs. |

Neither.
Whatever the AC3-ACM had been chosen for, it was not the reason to "quarrel" with other codecs.
I have no idea of what was going on in my Direct Show filtergraphs, nor I am going to study it in deep right now "who was responsible for what".
...Anyways... I just answered the Philidor's question directly... I don't have mine.
WindowsMedia never was a format of my workflow, I never cared much about it, I "kinda believe" the WMA V-whatever is supposed to be supported by Windows somehow.
P.S.: Oh, one more thing for those wishing to investigate it all: I have just recalled I also reinstalled Windows Media Player 11 prior to seeing WMA-V2 in VirtualDub back again.
...So... I'll never know =) |

Thanks for the information.
Interestingly, using a newly made Movie Maker file to avoid the DivX-related files, G-Spot gives me:
- - Type DSH
- - Function Decoder
DSH 4CC FmtTag: 0x0160
DSH Friendly Name WMAudio Decoder DMO
DSH DirectShow CLSID {2EEB4ADF-4578-4D10-BCA7-BB955F56320A}
FIL File Description Windows Media Audio Decoder
FIL Company Name Microsoft Corporation
FIL File Version 6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)
FIL Internal Name wmadmod.dll
FIL Legal Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
FIL Original Filename wmadmod.dll
FIL Product Name Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
FIL Product Version 6.1.7600.16385
REG Driver File C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WMADMOD.DLL
REG Merit 0x00800800
The wmadmod.dll matches with the information provided.
When I try the G-Spot side, it says G-Spot is unable to render this sort of file. Try the Microsoft side.
If wma v2 plays, does the G-Spot side show an audio codec? I'd expect VirtualDub to be using something else.
Something to try to figure out. |

I still believe it's a Windows component that opens the files:
- Take a look at the marked WMMEDIA_SUBTYPE_WMAudioV2
My system registry has got a key under "Drivers32":
msacm.msaudio1 REG_SZ msaud32.acm
No more ACMs in sight.
So, isn't it a matter of Windows configuration ?...
By the way, have you got WMP-11 installed?
__
Update: Here's the code from my registry, just in case.
| CODE |
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"msacm.msaudio1"="msaud32.acm"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\drivers.desc]
"msaud32.acm"="Windows Media Audio" |

WMP-12.
No msaud32.acm in this 64-bit computer.
Nothing "msaud" in the registry that doesn't concern Audits.
Might be a (disappointing) solution.
Nothing on the GSpot side for playing the audio on your computer? Just confirming.

Well, I'm lacking knowledge about 64bit codecs.
A wild and obvious assumption is you need some "msaud64.acm" ... 
| QUOTE | | Nothing on the GSpot side for playing the audio on your computer? |
- Do I understand you right, you're asking whether GSpot can play the audio by itself ?
If I understood you right - no, it can't be, GSpot can't play anything without OS's decoders.
---
Do you have Windows Media Encoder installed?
I have WME-9.

The bottom of GSpot 2.70a is called Proposed Codec Solutions and Tests. It's divided into MS and GSpot (non-MS) solutions, say ffdshow. GSpot is divided into video and audio.
I'd thought WME was incorporated into the Player, but maybe it is a way to get older files onto the computer. Thanks.
Tested. Neither the 32 nor 64-bit versions add anything useful to solve the problem. Not easy uninstallation.
May have been part of the earlier WMP installation. Can the file be pasted in if it were available? |

But this info had been provided before:
qasf.dll -> wmadmod.dll -> quartz.dll
But. This is about DirectShow, not about AudioCompressionManager which is a part of VFW API.
Regarding ACMs - as I also said before - GSpot reports "quarz.dll -> msaud32.acm" as registered filters in OS to deal with WMAudio. |

On my computer, wmadmod.dll is identified on the MS side under right click (on the working solution) / item details, but press 1 and the GSpot/A says it's unable to render. If I understand you correctly, your GSpot/A says either wmadmod.dll or msaud32.acm.
If msaud32.acm is what VirtualDub needs, I was wondering whether that could be installed by itself.
WME was worth trying because under User Data GSpot shows the audio as 9.2.
At any rate, seems now that on 64-bit Windows 7 it's easier to convert a wmv to avi/mp3 outside VirtualDub. |

I didn't found latest version (virtuldub mpeg2) and I can't update.
Is virtualdub 1.9.9 version good, too? |
