[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 421696, member: 76888"] I'd recommend two options on a fresh vista install and would recommend avoiding any codec packs. I'd recommend you do a ghost of your install prior to messing around with any codecs. (1) install SAF or (2) Install PDVD8 Build 2217aU + Haali's MKV Splitter (Click AVI support) + Manually register MPCVideodec.ax (From MPC-HC 32bit standalone filters) + Manually register these files (flvspliter.ax mp4splitter.dll) from MPC-HC standalone filters, then install real alternative 1.9 Lite. Don't install any other codecs. Don't allow WMP to auto install codecs. You can also install MPC-HC standalone video player, as that is a great media player using internal filters (so is external codec independent) In MP advanced setup choose TV = SD: MPV / H264: PDVD8 H264 Video = SD: MPV / H264: MPCVideoDec Render = EVR Personally I'd choose option #2 because SAF isn't testing for live HDTV. Note - latest versions of PDVD8 and PDVD9 are not compatible with MP. That's why i recommend build# 2217aU [/QUOTE]
