[QUOTE="Rlewton85, post: 846269, member: 118605"] Alright, this is the first time I am using Mediaportal, as a matter of fact this is my first custom built ever that I started about mid January, and I have been trying to setup Mediaportal for a few weeks now and have run into some trouble and was hoping someone could help me. To summarize what has happened, I was having trouble playing mkv movie files (playback would stutter), so I got SAF v6 and install it hoping to use the PDVD11 codecs as this seems to be a fairly recommended setup. After installing SAF v6 I still didn't see PDVD11 as an option so I uninstalled it and got a copy of PDVD12. Between uninstalling SAF and installing PDVD12 I went to the registry to see what codecs were there. I found that PDVD11 (probably from SAF) was there so I removed it before installing PDVD12 (i believe this is what went wrong). I then registered the PDVD12 codecs through cmd prompt and regsvr32 command and they are now available in Mediaportal to select as an option for all playback codecs. So I set the codecs to PDVD12 and tried to play an mkv again and now I get an error that it cannot be play due to missing Video: AVC and Audio: AAC 4. These files playback fine in PDVD12 so the files have to be okay. So before I reinstall windows 7 completely and start from scratch to fix anything I have done, I was wondering if anyone could help.
