Perfect timing. I was just wondering how to interpred the information in 
graphedit to get the guids. Just out of curiosity:
How to get
guid 0x9571a4b, 0xf1fe, 0x4c60, 0x97, 0x60, 0xde, 0x6d, 0x31, 0x0c, 
0x7c, 0x31
from
@device:sw:{083863F1-70DE-11D0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\{09571A4B-F1FE-4C60-9760-DE6D310C7C31}
?
With my recoded x264-in-avi
(mencoder -ovc x264 -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2 -of avi -o out.avi 
nasa_shuttle_m420p.mov)
I get the same error code:

==========================================================================
Forced video codec: coreavc
Opening video decoder: [dshow] DirectShow video codecs
ERROR: Could not open required DirectShow codec CoreAVCDecoder.ax.
Warning: DS_Filter() source format is not accepted. 
(DLL=CoreAVCDecoder.ax, r=0x1)
Failed to create DirectShow filter
You need to upgrade/install the binary codecs package.
Go to http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/dload.html
VDecoder init failed :(
Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x31637661.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
==========================================================================

AFAIK CoreAVCDecoder.ax is only a decoder, like it name suggestes. You 
have to install e.g. Haalis MatroskaSplitter to demux mp4 container 
before you can play any H264-in-mp4 with CoreAVCDecoder.ax.
