Error occured while playing or pausing or opening the file
[ error ] ofDirectShowPlayer: Cannot load video of this file type. Make sure you have codecs installed on your system. OF recommends the free K-lite Codec pack.
I ended up finding a temporary workaround by down sampling the videos in Premiere Pro instead of Movie maker, with 1280x720 .mp4 seeming to work best. I will check your solution asap, as it will save time in the long run. I did also find the menu options for k-lite quite extensive.
K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) is one of the most complete and up-to-date codec packages for both video and audio. Thanks to this package, especially in this Mega version, you can play any movie or audio file stored on your PC hard drive. No matter your default player, with these codecs, you can play any file you want.
The installation of this package also includes several optional video players, including the well-known Media Player Classic and BSplayer, two of the most widespread and reputable players. Basically, K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) is a great way to get the necessary decoders to watch any movie, video clip, or video fragment you've recorded and exported to your PC.
The main difference between this MEGA version of K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) and the FULL version is that this one includes the ACM/VFW codecs, which you can use to encode video and audio directly from your computer. It's important to note, however, that these codes only work in applications that specifically support them. Apart from this, the MEGA version, just like the FULL version, lets you play practically everything.
As usual with K-Lite codec packs, K-Lite Codec Pack (Mega) also includes a number of configuration tools and additional filters for better image quality and performance. In short, if you ever have problems playing a file, don't hesitate to install this application and put an end to these errors and incompatibility problems.
The K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of freely distributed codecs for Windows which make playing over 99% of popular file formats a cinch.Installation of this product is extremely quick and easy and after you've completed the installation wizard, you should be able to play virtually all media files requiring special codecs not included with Windows. Support for DivX, XviD, MKV, MPEG and virtually everything else is included, making K-Lite the only codec pack you're ever going to need to install.Compatibility and LicenseIs K-Lite Codec Pack Full free to download?K-Lite Codec Pack Full is a freeware, but ad-supported application available on Windows from video codec packs. You may encounter different types of ads or offers when running and installing this program. Though ads might be present, download and installation of this PC software is free and 18.0.0 is the latest version last time we checked.
Select the player for which you would like to create file associations - Media Player Classic is another player coming ( integrated in this codec pack ) so you should leave this as it is and move on.
I would recommend you to leave all of these options as they are. It doesn`t matter if you use another media player, you can simply re-install your favorite player and it will overwritten those settings. Go to the next step.
I have the HEVC codec from microsoft installed. I also previously had LAV filters installed via the k-lite codec pack and used the tweak tool to try various settings, but ended up in the same place. Things play fine on the desktop, but once it's in the VR environment, frame rate tanks.
In k-lite codec pack, there is a "codec tweak tool". Use this tool to make sure it's LAV Video that handles your video playback. (You will see the little LAV icon in the lower right corner, if done it correctly.)
Thanks for the response @philpw99 - i did what you suggested and re-installed the k-lite codec pack and must have done it right this time since i finally get the little LAV icons in the navigation pane when i play videos on my desktop. I fooled a bit with the decoders, and found that i personally get WAY better performance from the DVXA2 native compared to the Nvidia CUVID. It feels a bit like a half-fixed the problem. I can now run virtually all 6k videos at full 60fps with DeoVR. However I still cannot get good frame rates, even watchable frame rates, in DeoVR with 7k or 8k videos despite the fact that i can get full 60 fps on those same videos in media player classic or VLC or whatever. I noticed in my task manager that when i'm decoding these 7k and 8k videos in media player classic, the 'video decode' on the GPU tab of task manager gets pretty much pegged at 100%, but when i'm running the same video on DeoVR, which gets 25 fps give-or-take, the video decode is pegged at only 80% and the LAV icons on the notification do not appear when decoding with DeoVR (not sure if they should).
Hi guys!
DeoVR player works great at 60 and 90 (FPS) frames per second. Without any problem.
Maybe you can share some technical information with us so that we can reproduce and investigate the issue?
This is just not serious ! No - the new versions of the player dont work great - actually they work really bad and practically are useless . How many more people should report here and in Steam discussion board for low fps issues
to make you believe this and do something to fix this ?!? If you still pretend there is no problem that wont resolve the problem and the problem will still exist !
What specific technical information want me to share - tell me exactly and i will share ?

I copied your message and sent it to devs. But he cannot stay on the forum, because it is intended for adult content. I also wrote about this. I'm sorry you didn't get it. However, this does not give you the right to go beyond decent communication on the forum...
Regarding different playback, versions 8.X and 9.X are made in different development environments, in version 9 the new XR system management is used, which allows you to work without flickering when tracking is disabled. But be that as it may, the player itself comes without built-in codecs, but uses those that are installed on your system. It is for this reason that in order to solve a problem, we need to reproduce it.
And also wrote that the video that you sent via the link plays normally with us.
To verify that the codecs are working correctly, you need to perform a clean install of the codecs. Those remove all installed codecs, cleanup with a program like CCleaner, restart the system.
Install HVEC from Microsoft Store. And then try to open your video through Windows media. If it works well, it will do the same with DeoVR.
