Basically the way a video is decoded through Windows Media Player (or any DirectShow-based player, for that matter) is this:autraya wrote:What I'm trying to say is that I'm not using Haali to split AVI's, in fact I'm not using Haali purposefully at all in this instance, 'cause I'm not trying to split at all.
It is just interferring with what I'm trying to do, it starts splitting everytime I load Media player (or was, until I uninstalled last night). which for some reason won't let me play the saved premiere file (but does play nearly everything else) when Haali is installed.
I thought my problem was related to exporting from premiere... but it doesn't seem to be that, it seems to be that Haali is on my pc.
Player opens file -> Splitting filter takes video and audio streams and shoots them over to video and audio decoders -> Video and audio decoders decode the video and audio -> Video plays.
Windows comes with its own default splitter for AVI, which is the one you should use. I didn't know that CCCP makes Haali the default for AVI, but that's because I don't use CCCP anyway. Haali should be used if you want to play MKV, MP4, or OGM files in Windows Media Player though. It's just that the AVI function of that splitter is not necessary in pretty much every situation - during the setup of the individual splitter package, AVI isn't enabled by default (or at least on my computer it isn't; maybe it was at some point, I unchecked it, and the setting gets remembered by the registry or something).
If you need to reinstall Haali's splitter, then go here and get the version from the official site:

Just remember to make sure that AVI isn't checked during the setup.
