Thanks for the suggestions, guys. It seemed like WMP and MP were not using the same codec for some reason, and I couldn't figure out why (or what MP used -- WMP used CoreAVC). Even with PowerDVD being selected as the default for .mts, CoreAVC "took over" in WMP. So, I figured I'd remove them all and try them one by one... First, I...

The DTV1800H has hardware encoding. Anyone got it working with MP? It's a great price these days, available in Australia for $65, and it would be great if support could be included. Sorry forget the 1800H. I had the wrong model. The model I am interested is the Leadtek DVR3100 H.

Now that it's summer I'm thinking of re-examining my HTPC setup, and seeing what else is out there and what might be better. Two years ago I had a MythTV setup, which worked per se. But configuration was a PITA, and I never fully got my MCE remote working on it. It's music interface sucked. I used it as a glorified digital VCR /...

My understanding is that mkv is just a container format, so as long as you have some kind of codec installed that can read that format, then whatever the media itself is underneath is what is interpreted and played as video. So if it's mpeg or h.264 underneath the mkv, then yes cyberlink can hardware accellerate. If it's xvid, or...
