Codecs, External Players (27 Viewers)

Post problems with Codecs or External Players here!
Just try both on your setup and compare. I'd say it depends on you and your equipment. I definitely hear the difference on my setup even without reencoding to ac3 by just using mpar with multichannel vs bitstreaming. Now I only use mpar with files without ac3, dts, etc.

MP1 MP2 Playing VOB files DE
I'm having trouble with this too. It's a load of garbage. I have no clue why the AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS DVD-style structures have helped others. They have no effect for me! MediaPortal just freezes whenever I try to play an IFO REGARDLESS of ANY settings.

Sorry can you just explain the log situation a bit better, which log file would be relevant? Mepo (and it's plugins) create quite a few.

Hey, sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm just wondering if this problem has resurfaced recently?

MP1 MP2 DTS HD-MA Codec? DE
Sorry for the slow reply. I'm using MPC as the splitter, but afaik the actual TrueHD decoding is done by ffdshow. Think it's called MLP in their codec config page.

No, only SAF 6.14 WIP. Now that I've figured out that I have to use ReClock anyway to get proper sound from 5.1 AAC files, I think I'm gonna drop SAF again and go back to LAFV with ReClock.

Finally found way for me to get rid of stuttering with Purevideo Decoder: From Purevideo settings I changed VMR Default -> VMR Vertical stretch and the stutter was gone. VMR Pixel Adaptive stutters too. GPU: Intel X3500 (integrated on Intel G35 chipset board) 1080p@50Hz (viewing DVB-C SD PAL material in Finland)

In this case the problem is not that they get unregistered - they simply refuse to connect to anything unless the WinDVR software has been registered. Codecs are quite capable of checking the registry (or any other place where a software register key might be stored) so PDVD would be an exception if that does indeed work.

I couldn't get .srt files to work in mediaportal at all, hence I merged them into the mkv container to get them to work as detailed in my prev post. Embedding subtitles into mkv containers was the only way I could get subs to work in mediaportal. I'd always avoided mkv's before doing this, now I think they rock!

I have done some further tests here and, if you start a movie and make sure you press straight on the remote and that it says straight and not 5 channel stereo enhanced, now the surround should be working for movies as you have seen already.

Great. :) It is the responsibility of tuner vendors to provide compatible software encoders with their products. For example, Hauppauge provides SoftMCE/SoftPVR, TerraTec provides TerraTec Home Cinema (which includes compatible encoders) etc. Also, the encoders are the property of their respective companies (ATI/AMD, CyberLink...

I would say there is no right or wrong codec. Use which ever works best for you. I never used to like the Microsoft DMO decoder for VC-1 as it stuttered more than Arcsoft but since SP1 and updating my ATI drivers it seems to be fine so I'm going to switch back to it. Also its the only thing that works for me properly with Freeview HD...

Well, I tried it but it doesn't work. Appereantly, the MPV decoder won't connect to the FFDShow raw filter... the ffdshow raw filter does connect to other decoders, like the M$ MPEG2 decoder or powerdvd's decoder. Strange, since the MPV decoder outputs regular raw video (YV12..?) content. Is this a known issue or a 'feature' ?
