Im not sure if this a bug or an intended feature. It had me confused anyway. So in the spirit of constructive feedback:

Have been playing with codecs. Trying different combinations of audio and video codecs.

I notice that the codecs can be changed in the settings menu item from within MP while MP app is running.

I also notice that codecs can be changed via the MP confiuration app when MP is not running.

But the specification of codecs in these 2 places appear independent. That is - if I set say Nvidia codec within MP settings then this does not get written into the config app when I close MP and open the config app.

This means there are two places where codecs can be specified and it is not obvious (to me anyway) which one is applied.

    I have tested this with v1.0 + latest SVN, and can't re-produce this problem....

    Have rechecked system. It now works flawlessly just as ronilse and geov indicate.

    Maybe various codec swapping/comparisons had made my system unstable???????. ffdshow was involved.

    Anyway works perfectly here now.
