[QUOTE="dlthorpe, post: 372084, member: 87069"] Hi all, First off I know this is a long post but really am clueless here. I'd very much appreciate someone take a look and give me some advice as I'd love nothing more than to understand all this and then help others out. Ok so I'm not sure what im doing but I based my setup on Theydons HTPC setup [URL="http://www.castle-grounds.co.uk/htpc"]here[/URL]. And also used this link [URL="http://www.projecthtpc.co.uk/htpc_software08.html"]here[/URL] for setup of codecs. The first link has codec setup too. My initial question is when I play any XVID of say "The Shield" tv series. If I play them via the MP internal player I lose A/V sync within about 10 seconds. If however I play them via The KMPlayer its perfect. MKV files of another tv series work perfectly on both the internal MP player and The KMPlayer. It is only on XVIDs played in on the MP internal player. I have installed the following codec related software on this PC... - AC3Filter v1.51a - CoreAVC Professional Edition (latest as ive paid for it) - FFDShow rev2588_20090106 - Haali Matroska Splitter - PowerDVD 7.3 - PowerDVD 8 - The KMPlayer Basically for the MP internal player codec settings I have tried a combination of many codecs. The default for me were this... MPEG-2 Video Decoder = MPV Decoder Filter H294 Video Decoder = CoreAVC Audio Decoder = MPA Decoder Filter Audio Renderer = Default Direct Sound Device But where available I have tried setting the decoders / renderers to using the PowerDVD 7 and 8, ffdshow, AC3Filter, CoreAVC. All of my attempts seem to play all of my XVID (350MB) files for the tv series with A/V sync issues. Seeing as The KMPlayer works fine Im assuming its a codec related issue but not really sure. The KMPlayer has such a host of config items I get pretty lost in it all. I set it up based on the above two links but basically... Audio = Internal Codecs tab has XVID ticked, but ive unticked X264 and on the External Codec tab use FFDSHOW for X264. Video = On the Internal Codec its SPDIF, and on the External Codec its AC3Filter mainly. If requested ill post screenshots - thats if you want to get into this for me! :) And regarding the external audio codec I just noticed CoreAVC is there but not used - surely I should change this because I've paid for it? Ive look into other posts and see people are using PowerDVD codecs and others. Not sure what is better for me to use? The why for all this is basically because I like how the MP interacts with videos playing on its internal player. Much more visual and friendly. Also because I want to crack this and tick the box of my geeky things to know. Please anyone that understands this stuff please help. Let me know what I need to do, or need to show you if it helps. Willing to try anything (almost)!!! Further spec stuff below. Thanks, D.
