[QUOTE="WTBHelp, post: 528238, member: 99040"] Thanks buddy. TV arrives tonight so I will start playing with it as soon as I have things setup. They didnt have it in stock last night so I have to go pick it up at another store. Its gonna be a long road to success, ahahha. A question on the codecs - I see 4 in MediaPortal that need to be setup correct? The way I understand it, 2 for regular DVDs and 2 for Blu Ray, with DVD and Blu Ray having a video and audio codec each. DVD = MPEG-2, AC3 Blu Ray = H.264, AAC Seems like PDVD 9 will be able to handle the video codecs correct? Do I only need to config the 2 audio codecs to be able to play hard drive videos, DVDs and Blu Rays in the default player? In that case, how come I need a bloated coded pack like SAF or every FFDShow. Whats the benefit of having them all? I guess not every vid or DVD I come across will have MPEG-4/2 or AC3/AAC. How does MediaPortal default player deal with that? Thanks buddy. You should post some pics of your setup in a thread, show I some screen shots. You know a ton about this stuff. Time to gloat and show us what you've got under your sleave! [/QUOTE]
