Hi I'm just wondering what you guys would recommend as far as a Video and audio codec goes.

Which ones give the best results. I remember before reading about powerdvd codec or something along the lines.

Your help would be grately appriciated.

Read the codecs guide in the Mediaportal Wiki. That should answer your questions.

You should give the AVIVO codecs a try (free codecs w/DXVA support) and use FFDShow for audio.
AVIVO fo Vista -> https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206...code_68908.exe
(Only tried 'em with XP, though)
