[QUOTE="velis, post: 540193, member: 96429"] I would use Cyberlink decoder, but I can't seem to be able to register the H264 codec. Copied all *264* files (lots of .dlls for different SSE instruction sets), but registering the .ax doesn't work and neither does registering any of those .dlls. MPEG2 codec is just the .ax file and it registers fine. It only supports weave and bob in SW mode though. Unfortunately I also can't tell it to skip deinterlacing and have that done by ffdshow in postprocessing... Seems I will have to try installing XP to see how it might work. The trouble is - I just bought a Win 7 for this HTPC and I'd hate to waste it. XP won't be around much longer anyway, just until folks figure out how to make Win 7 work and then it (XP) will go away into oblivion. It is after all a pretty old OS for todays standards. My only XP license is used on the primary computer which I can't reinstall yet (have Win 7 waiting for it too). And it's an OEM license, I'd be doing some serious licensing breach if I activated XP to the HTPC now. [/QUOTE]
