[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1219469, member: 82144"] You're welcome any time. :) Normally you'd be absolutely right. However codecs are a little tricky because they're files that are registered in the Windows system registry. If an uninstaller removes the files and forgets to unregister them, MP Config would still show the option [because codec lists are based on the contents of the system registry] but MP would be unable to use them [because the files themselves are missing]. Unfortunately this happens all too often. Maybe that's what the AMD uninstaller did, I don't know for sure. Sounds like a completely different issue, but once again, probably related to your LAV config. I'd be happy to look into it if you're interested. I don't know how you got that impression. There's only one BDHandler. It is and always has been a third party plugin. Anyway, it's water under the bridge now. :) I can see your perspective. However we tend to take a more hands-off approach. This is an open source community. In the spirit of open source, I guess we've leaned towards respecting people's freedom to choose to use whichever plugins they like even if those plugins duplicate built-in capabilities. Sure is! :) AMD do know their hardware best, but actually this is another case of having a generic layer between software and hardware. In this case the generic layer is the Microsoft-specified hardware accelerated video decoding interface (DXVA - DirectX Video Acceleration). All codecs - including LAV, AMD, Cyberlink... whatever - are going to use the same AMD-optimised hardware decoding implementation provided by the AMD driver. In other words: unless the AMD codec works outside the standard interface (IMHO unlikely), LAV[I] [/I]should be able to match the AMD codec (and vice versa). It's a start. As per my previous reply, the next step on that front would be to try to access the BR root menu as described. Nice! Thanks for the feedback. :) [/QUOTE]
