Looks like MPC-HC uses Microsoft DMO decoder to decode your WMV. It is not compatible to ffdShow and to SVP.
So, you need to switch to internal decoder LAV in MPC-HC.
MPC-HC - menu View - Options... - Internal Filters - enable WMV 1/2/3 - OK

@MAG79

http://oi64.tinypic.com/291dd29.jpg

but i still couldnt get svp3 to recognize the video file
http://oi63.tinypic.com/20914cy.jpg

i tried messing with ffdshow configuration(sorry im desperate to play it despite having absolutely no knowledge at all with the stuff inside the ffdshow settings or with any of these codecs or LAV or any techie stuff)
ticking libavcodec on WMV format (they were disabled "wmv"looks familiar too so i..)

@n64
thank you muxing helps! but i had to uninstall the community codecpack(after messing with the internal filter setting on the mpc fromcccp i couldnt smoothplay any video file anymore)
so i just stick with the old mpcand old addons that comes with the svp3 installer(i reinstalled everything ffdshow, sticked with old LAV



although i still want to smoothplay the original format with the latest cccp

Re: help please i cant play this file on svp

Nowadays you should only ever need LAVfilters and a compatible media player (like MPC-HC or mpv); codec packs aren't particularly useful anymore.

If for whatever reason you want a newer version of LAVfilters you can get one here:
https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases

FYI, you can just replace the files in MPC-HC's "LAVfilters" folder with a newer version and it'll "just work".

Ok. Lets try to know what filters are used in your case (AVI-file with WMV-video).
Open your file in MPC-HC - menu Play - Filters - Copy filters list to clipboard - Paste that list here.
It must be like this:

Filters currently loaded:
  - Default DirectSound Device
  - Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter)
  - Audio Switcher
  - ffdshow raw video filter
  - LAV Audio Decoder (internal)
  - LAV Video Decoder (internal)
  - LAV Splitter Source (internal)

WMVideo Decoder DMO

This is the cause. It prevents ffdShow to load in the filters chain.

Try to disable DMO decoders. Use Block option in MPC-HC External Filters tab.
Press 'Add Filter...' - select in the list 'WMVideo Decoder DMO' - check it - mark as 'Block' - OK
