[QUOTE="1gkar, post: 609487, member: 53076"] Certainly: 1) I have always had issues with ffdshow taking complete control of my various systems, over the years. Blacklisting, etc. has not always worked. With the supplied version of MPC-HC, I cannot prevent ffdshow being loaded as either the primary video codec, or it attaching itself as a secondary one. Even if I have removed it from the external filters & set CoreAVC as the preferred video codec. I have also had issues with this whilst using MediaPortal. Though, it seems to have settled down with the install of CoreAVC, according to GraphStudio. 2) As I've stated in a couple of threads on these forums, I have had issues with the ffdshow version supplied being able to upscale my lower resolution media files. If I simply overwrote the ffdshow.ax file with one I knew worked, the upscaling would function. From memory, the DVXA version, supplied with the 5.00ex, I think did work: can't actually remember. As you may have gathered, I am back using 4.00, for the time being. As I reverted back to an image that had it installed, & as stated, it seems to be behaving itself inside MP, with CoreAVC installed. I am still tweaking, but it does take time. When it comes to ffdshow, I do prefer to have control with the install version, rather than have it installed from a package. [/QUOTE]
