[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 387378, member: 83973"] the1 - can you add your system specs to your user profile (and make sure they are visible to other users i.e. so that you have a 'My System' pop-up to the left of your posts). For codec recommendations, if your video card supports hardware de-interlacing and H.264 acceleration, the best combination is probably PowerDVD 7 or 8 for MPEG-2 video and MPC-HC for H264 video. The ATi AVIVO codecs are not very good, I've not tried the Microsoft MPEG-2 decoder - my version of Vista doesn't have it available. You should have a look at the SAF thread too - [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/standalone-filters-mediaportal-saf-44614/"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/standalone-filters-mediaportal-saf-44614/[/URL] (To get the PowerDVD codecs, install a trial version of PowerDVD 7 or 8 - the codecs carry on working when the trial period ends :) - or buy a cheap OEM version for peanuts - or the codecs can be found floating around.....) Given that the AVIVO codecs are not very good, I'd suggest un-installing them to keep the system as simple as possible - having a lot of codecs installed can make things worse rather than better, so don't be tempted to install any 'mega' codec packs etc :) Tony [/QUOTE]
