First of all i have been using super for over 6 months, and i never had any problems encoding (changing containers, resolution and bitrate, simple things).
Suddenly yesterday i saw that when i try to encode something ( any type of container and video / audio codec ) it just renders the audio.
I am encoding using DirectShow decode, and what i see is that whenever i start to encode for a split of a second either (depending on what i am doing) haali media splitter will appear and dissapear or ffdshow video decoder won't appear at all.
I tried to reinstall super but didn't help.
Any ideas what could make this happen, or what steps i should do to fix it?
Any information it might be needed to answer the above plz tell me and i post it.
Thx
update: an example
when i try to encode this file:

it means you are fully and exclusively relying on your PC insatlled codecs instead of
relying on the internal (and PC_independent) codecs implemented in SUPER(C)
we have no idea what has been installed, uninstalled, registered, modified, or causing a codec conflict in your PC..
Based on your supplied details, you have lost the ability to Decode (read) the AVC video codec inside an MKV container.
we suggest:
1) uncheck DirectShow Decode and all will encode just fine.
2) or restore your PC using the Windows restore function, to a date just before
the incident date in order to correct the DirectShow issue..
3) or simply un-install whatever codec pack or software that has been installed lately
which affected your DirectShow ActiveX AVC filter.
Offline
well without using DirectShowDecode the file is rendered but the audio is out of synch it seems to be like on 1.1-1.2x speed and there are no subs.
The only thing added on the pc was an aviconverter software which came with a mp3/mp4 player. I have removed that software and made a fresh install of super but ....
The same problem exists even if i try to create an avi with xvid, if i use DirectShow there is no video and without Directshow audio is faster than 1x speed.
The above happens with any container.
System restore option is not possible for many reasons.
I don't know if the following has any meaning but i can play back any file just fine ( haali media splitter and ffdshow video decoder appear on system tray and work 100%)
I ll try to reinstall CCCP and then Super.
Any more ideas, would be most welcome
ps. ( should i erase registrys keys that have to do with super, if any remain after i uninstall it? )
same file rendered without DirectShow Decode

i removed cccp and super, did a registry clean up, installed cccp, rebooted, installed super problem persists.
What i found out is that if i try to render from an mp4 to an mp4 everything works just fine.
Also meta4.exe got stuck leeching 60% cpu and 600mb ram even after i closed super.
