I followed an old codec installer which I think was FFDShow, haali etc. But since the upgrade I have been unsuccessful in having a set of codecs that work. Before I start, I'm hoping people don't just forward me to links of other peoples problems as I've read quite a few posts on here and nothing has helped and I really appreciate any and all input! Okay, so the last thing i've done is i've installed the SAF6 codec pack to find that almost every movie I play just says unable to play: <movie name>, then it tells me the codecs. I have mixed all ffdshow, ffdshow DVXA and LVAF codecs within the MP codec configuration tab and had no result. interesting, the MPC will play all my films and push the 5.1 through perfectly, but not in MP! I've then tried an old mediaportal codec guide pdf and had some success. FFDShow on its own gets me so far but I cant seem to get picture from the codec. I'm not looking for masses of detail, I'm okay with the terminology and the setup of most apps. As it stands I've ripped off all codecs and will try any combination of codecs to try and get this working! oh, a specific question, if running audio to my AV receiver, would it by advisable to play most audio into pass-through mode over s/pdif? one last thing, the files I play range from x264, xvid, divx (if anyone still uses it), AV3, MPEGII, DTS, DD5.1, WMA and WMA5.1. Again I really appreciate all your help. Thanks Matt One last thing. I havent attached any logs as I've ripped all the codecs off. if someone says, try xyz, then I will and will report back any logs etc! THANKS! [/QUOTE]
