[QUOTE="chesh, post: 419396, member: 88249"] Well, when I ran into my last set of issues with codecs, I decided the hell with it and went for SAF. When installing SAF, it made me uninstall AC3 and PDVD8 in order to install. Once SAF was installed, I just went ahead and reinstalled PDVD8 so I could have it's codecs available again. As for the HD-PVR setup; I'm either at 1080i/p or 480i/p depending on if I've forced by cable box to go back to 1080i (when I turn off my surround sound system, the cable box automatically detects that my HDMI connection has been broken and switches the output resolution to 480i/p till I force a recognition of the HDMI port again by switching my surround sound to that input and back again). My audio in is coming over RCA's due to everytime I hooked up the optical, I was getting the stutter that you have to hit play/pause to get rid of. As for my bitrate, I'm running CBR with a 9mb min and a 13mb max (I believe that's the default). Let me know if ya want me to check anything else. P.S. The reason I'm running Arcsoft Audio Decoder HD as my audio decoder is that with the standard Arcsoft Audio Decoder, I get a really quiet surround sound. Almost like it needs to normalize / boost the audio. Once I switched it to the HD decoder though, the sound was boosted much better, but now my surround sound system thinks it's a Logic 7 setup (which is an emulated 5.1 channel mode). Works for me, as the sound has finally (mostly) normalized on any channel I switch to, whether it be from the HVR-1600 or my HD-PVR. New question for the USB-UIRT: What setup do you have to do (if any) in the Remotes section in MP Config? Can I just tell it I have a MCE Remote in there, or do I have to do something else? I know currently I have an iMon setup and I had to have iMon all setup to pass the commands along, but no config inside of MP. Maybe I'm over-thinking everything here and it'll be a lot easier when I go to set it up, but just making sure. [/QUOTE]
