iHD Simulator doesn't display video post-Windows Media Format SDK Install

After I installed the Windows Media Format SDK (9.5) for Windows Media Encoder 9, I noticed the iHD Simulator won't display video any more. The menus appear fine as normal but the background footage is completely black. The footage plays fine in WMP11. Any ideas

    I have exactly the same error.
    Copying the qasf.dll from a WMP 10 install did sadly not have the desired effect.

    Suggestion is to try the WMP 11 SDK:

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/windowsmedia/downloads/default.aspx

    Also, try using graphedit to play the video; that shares more code in common with iHDSim than WMP does.

    I'll ask around...

    If you can get an older copy of qasf.dll from a WMP 10 install, try copying that to the HD DVD Simulator folder and create an empty file called hdisim.exe.local in that folder. This will instruct Windows to try and load the local version of the file rather than the system version.

    Unforunately the WMP 11 SDK has no effect, but the video does play correctly in GraphEdit.
