[QUOTE="infinite.loop, post: 138694, member: 10723"] Many ppl will hate me for that, but ffdshow is in my eyes simmilar to a codec pack (which i realy do not like and are well know for the issues they produce) My general advice is to [B]only install the original decoders/filters you need[/B] i.e. xVid, 3vix, divX, ect. because the videos are encoded with the "real" filters, the original codec will always work. (i have seen ffdshow installations failing to playback xVid and divX files correctly many times) I have ffdshow installed on my HTPC too, BUT i only enabled the filter(s) i realy need. in my case its MJPEG. without that, MediaPortal has no OSD when playing a video created with my Canon Ixus :) So ffdshow is not "evil", but its not 100% perfect ;) [/QUOTE]
