[QUOTE="ixian, post: 421471, member: 54932"] Yes, I haven't figured that out yet (extra codecs). It's something PDVD8 does during it's install; I end up with like 4 choices for Mpeg2 video alone after installing it. I haven't done it yet on one PC; on that one I'm going to try manually installing again. ajp8164, to answer your question there's the easy way and the hard way. The easy way is to just install the PDVD8 demo (actually this isn't that easy anymore since they don't have it up, you may have to google around a bit; I already had it). The fact that it is a demo that will expire is of little concern since the codecs don't, they will work regardless. The only problem with this approach is it clutters up your hard drive (assuming, of course, you don't actually just buy and use PDVD for what it's intended) and it installs a lot of extra codec crap. The harder way is to register the codecs manually. This isn't as easy as just extracting the file and running regsvr32 for some reason I haven't nailed down yet. Also, for PowerDVD, you have to register CLVd.ax and CLV264.ax - Mpeg and H.264 respectively. If, for example, you install via SAF, keep in mind the instructions Hoborg gives only installs the Mpeg2 decoder, not h.264, so you'll need to do it manually. Also, I haven't tried again with PowerDVD 9. Last time I did, the h.264 codec wouldn't show as an option for the TV client even though the codec was installed (it works for Videos). I don't quite know why that is, but obviously there's something different between the two. Something is obviously different between the two that may be related to the tsreader bug that's scheduled to be fixed in Media Portal 1.1. I am on 1.02; next time I will be more cautious upgrading. When you are using a lot of addons like MPTvSeries, MovingPictures, 4TR, etc there are lots of tiny little details that can get out of wack.
