Open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the resulting log here.
Also upload a SHORT sample of a problematic file on some file sharing site like Rapidshare or Megaupload. Use DGsplit and read here about how to do it: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=57724&p=193335#p193335

I have set up and recorded the log file, however it appears that i dont have permission to attach a file (maybe) or i dont know how to do it (tried cut and paste).
I will try as you suggest using DGsplit and uploading, thanks for the advice so far.

Don't attach the log to your post but copy and paste it here between Code tags (button Code at the top of the text input box).

Are you able to play this sample with any other player ? If so, which one and if it's a DirectShow player using which splitter ?

Because I've tried many players on Windows and none of them can play this nor I can demux it. It seems to be a strange MP4 container.
