having other apps installed may break cue file creation

[Conroy]

I have a few player apps installed on my machine (VLC, Roxio, elecard), and when I try to use ImgBurn to create a cue file, it seems to be picking up a random decoder/demuxer to use. When it picks the roxio one (SonicHDDemuxer.dll), imgburn will fail with an exception.

 

I got around the problem by unregistering sonicHDDemuxer.dll on my machine, but I thought it might be better if imgburn specified the filter to use

That's not how directshow works. I specify the source and the destination, it fills out all the stuff in the middle.

 

If one of your filters causes the graph to crash then change its merit (priority) using something like 'DirectShow Filter Manager'.

Thanks for the response, I'll do that. I don't think I need the roxio filter anyway

 

If you have a specific filter you want to use, you can load the filter before building the graph and DirectShow should pick it up automatically first if it's compatible; otherwise, you're right.
