Summary:
I think it would be great, if we could tell MP which codecs to use when playing an avi or mkv file.
Area:
My Videos / My Settings
Description:
At the moment when something doesn't play as expected it is necessary to use programs like GSpot and RadLight FilterManager to change the codecs MP and WMP use for the file.
This takes quite a while especially since after changing a codec's merit you always have to log off and on again for the changes to take effect.
Often enough this whole procedure results in MP being unable to play other files it used to play just fine.
In Media Player Classic it is possible to just choose the codecs you want to use on the fly. This setting is called "merit override" and really easy to use. You just put all filters whose merit you want to change into a list and click radio buttons to tell MPC whether they are preferred or blocked or set a specific merit value.
