for example avi with vlc
.mkv with media player classic ?

thanks

Currently that is not possible.

It's a great shame that it is not possible and my one disappointment in Media Portal. With the great variety of formats these days it is virtually impossible to get everything to play well in Media Portal. Having a choice of players really would be a great boon. I wish I was smart enough to write a plug-in to do this.

Well, if someone implements it, there's no problem with it. That's the beauty of Open Source. It's just that it's not been implemented yet by the MP main devs.

i have quite a big variety of video formats and i can't recall anyone not been able of great playback within MP. If you have the right decoders installed on your pc then vlc or mpc are not really needed.

In my case I would like it to watch HD-DVD's from disc and from the HD.
Only software I can use now is Powerdvd 7 ultra, but I prefer the built in for most everything else.
Although MPC does support chapter in mkv files that the other players do not.

I wish I knew how to program, but instead I am forced to live off the kindness of others. Please be kind
