My System

fixed Working Codec setup for MyTrailers

MediaPortal Version: RC2 Weekly Build
MediaPortal Skin: Aeon Wide
Windows Version: XP SP3
CPU Type: AMD X2 5200
HDD: Samsung spinpoint 500GB || WD 1 TB
Memory: 2GB Kingston
Motherboard: Asus M2A-VM
Video Card: Onboard Ati x1200 series
Video Card Driver: Catalyst 8.8

MPEG2 Video Codec: Powerdvd 8 SP SD
MPEG2 Audio Codec: AC3Filter
h.264 Video Codec: CoreAVC 1.7

HTPC Case: Ahanix D-Vine 320
Remote: Microsoft
TV: Samsung LE3281
TV - HTPC Connection: DVI -> HDMI

OK, I finally got the MyTrailer plugin working without VLC

This is what I did.

1) Uninstalled ALL previous codecs
previous codec installation
- FFDShow
- AC3Filter
- CoreAVC 1.7 + HAAII mediasplitter
- Powerdvd 8
- QT alternative / quicktime (Tried both)
- Nero 8
- Xvid

REBOOT

2) Clean registry
3) Install new codecs
New Codecs
* CoreAVC 1.7 (Set preferred checkbox)
* Haali Mediasplitter
* MPC Video Decoder
* AC3Filter 1.46 (S/PDIF -> AS IS)
* CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD8)
* DirectShow VobSub 2.37

REBOOT

4) Set merit of these codecs to Preferred with FilMerit
6) Set movies codecs in MP (Movies -> Player)
- MPEG: CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD8)
- H264: CoreAVC 1.7
- AUDIO: SPDIF (AC3Filter)
6) Set the DirectShow properties
MPA:
- SPDIF
Video Renderer Settings
- VMR9

Check with graphEdit or GSPot if the right codecs are used with different file types..
For example:
- Gladiator HD -> CoreAvC
- Apple Trailer -> MPC
etc


This did the trick for me
