[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 333234, member: 64243"] Everybody says CoreAVC is a good Codec, but in my case I had many lip sync problems.. not sure, but is CoreAVC only software decoding? With ffdshow, you need to make sure all settings are correct, and then it plays virtually everything you throw at it, disadvantage is that it can use software decoding only. It took me a while before I got everything right in ffdshow, read a lot on the internet about it. Mpeg2 can also be HD. Here with Ziggo cable, Discovery HD is broadcasted in Mpeg2 720p. To view everything, you need just a few codecs and containers.. In my case I have the following: PowerDVD8 (codecs for DVD, BD, HDDVD, HDTV, SDTV, AVC, etc.. hardware acelleration) ffdshow (for movies that dont play correctly with PowerDVD codecs) AC3filter, to send digital audio to the SPDIF directly (dolby/DTS audio is decoded in my Marantz AMP who is much better in doing so, then the realtek thingy on board my MOBO) Matroska (including haali media splitter, direct vobsub for the subtitles), to make sure all movies (containers like MKV) are recognized Xvid (for divx movies and other AVI's) and of course Windows Mediaplayer 11, for the WMV files and music files. That's all I use at the moment. lots [/QUOTE]
