[QUOTE="Rbentley100, post: 945301, member: 117201"] ok, cheers. Sorry about the noobish questions. all the processing available always confuses me :) So I should look to 1.3.0 beta. and changing the decode filters for different video formats? As by the time it reaches post processing I have to make a choice between ffdshow and LAV? This leads to my next question, I have LAV splitter as a post process. So before it hits post processing everything is just an mkv file isnt it? So how can the decoder filters differentiate from HD and SD, and therefore work out which filter to use? Surely everyone has some setup to get the best video qulity from mediaportal? ie upscale SD content and use hardware acceleration for HD content? I am not tied to LAV or ffdshow tbh, I just have used LAV for a while now and like how it handles forced subtitles and bitstreaming audio. I have tried multiple google searches etc and havent managed to find a comprehensive guide. They often just point to codec packs like k-lite and shark, now I am sure these work very well but they add a lot of stuff I am not interested in and all they usually do is apply everything else in a nice big bundle, I prefer applying just specifically what I want/need. If there is a guide or something to read somehwere that I am missing that would also be great. Sorry about the ignorant questions, thank you for yor patience :) [/QUOTE]
