[QUOTE="Bobokatt70, post: 336728, member: 85182"] I am just blown away how good MP is and I am so glad I am using this. I have spent days and days reading posts and walkthroughs and have it all set up. I am currently using an ATI 4550 HDMI video card (with ATI CCC drivers and then the Realtek HDMI drivers for audio) over Vista32. Everything works well. I have a 7.1 speaker setup on my Onkyo 605 receiver. Everything works like a dream. The reason I am posting this is because I am simply not familiar with what i am supposed to hear on my receiver (just finally got this receiver). I have followed the FFDshow config, have installed the extra stuff as described. When media portal is on or just sitting in Windows, it shows Multichannel on my receiver. If I play a movie, the thing flickers and changes to either DD or DD + DTS depending on the movie and I think I also saw DD EX. If I play some AVI's it stays on Multichannel. It seems to sound correct. Am I doing this right or should it always show multichannel? I used the mediaportal guide by Goose from here: [url]http://mpi-grabber.team-mediaportal.com/exdownloads/mediaportal%20codec%20guide%20v.2.674.pdf[/url] However I installed the ATI's Avivo drivers package. When I configure the MP setup to use the MPEG-2 Video Decoder, I use the one recommended in the guide: MPV Decoder I get the choice of FFdshow and also now ATI CCC, ATI multiplexor and ATI something else. Should I use the ATI ones? I am using an Intel q6600 with 4 GB or RAM on Vista 32. Nothing ever stutters so maybe I should leave things well enough alone. I am now just trying to get my picture quality better with regular DVD’s that I have ripped to my HD. With a 52” screen things don’t look all that great at 1920x1080 and no matter what changes I do on FFdshow video config, it makes little difference. MKV rips from Blu Ray however look amazing.
