In GraphEdit, use File -> Render Media File to render a DCM file, then File -> Save Graph and send me the GRF file (my email is spelled out below, PLEASE DO NOT WRITE IT IN CLEAR ANYWHERE IN A USENET MESSAGE). GraphEdit is a tool (graphedt.exe) included in the Windows SDK for Vista or Win2K8 (you can extract it from the setup, no need to install the SDK). You can also find it somewhere on the web. If the DCM filter is a source filter, then it will be able to support URLs only if it supports them itself. If it is a parser, it should support URLs without even knowing about them. What URL are you trying to play? -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

What graph do you get if you try File -> Render URL in GraphEdit? What program are you using to open the file and URL? What version? What version of Windows?

Re: Using a directshow codec called Dicom Media Bridge jsheridan 12/3/2008 2:19:01 AM I'm trying to use windows media player 11. Using Windows XP. I also tried embeding the media player in a website and open the file from the url and the web server on a windows 2003 server. When I try to play the file with the url in media player error downloading codec. From graphedit the error is "Can not construct a graph from this file".

The actual error code would be more informative. You removed the on-line DCM file, so I can not perform further tests to try and figure out why the URL fails when it should work. -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm

Re: Using a directshow codec called Dicom Media Bridge jsheridan 12/4/2008 1:17:01 AM My appologies the link should be working again. When I try to play it from the Media Player it never gives me an error message it just flashes something about downloading codec then just a blank screen.

Download the demo version of GraphEditPlus (http://www.thedeemon.com/). Manually insert the "File Source (URL)" (not the "File Source (Netshow URL)") and, when asked to choose a file, just type in the URL. Then manually add the Dicom decoder and manually connect the output of the source to the input of the decoder. Report back the error code. -- // Alessandro Angeli // MVP :: DirectShow / MediaFoundation // mvpnews at riseoftheants dot com // http://www.riseoftheants.com/mmx/faq.htm
