[QUOTE="Paranoid Delusion, post: 318432, member: 13176"] Audio codec, i would always use ffdshow, even with the SAF codec pack i had audio problems with using MPA codec (no sound). I think i have now got to the stage where i only need the Cyberlink mpeg2 codec (dxva), mpcvideo for HD (dxva2), then the [URL="http://shark007.net/"]Vista codec Pack[/URL] sorts out all the rest (FFDShow\Xvid\haali media splitter based), both for working within windows and mediaportal, without the VCP installed there are too many little niggles within the windows OS, like thumbs not getting produced for video files of all types, also not being able to play files in WMP11. Be aware if you install VCP you will need to manually uninstall haali media splitter in control panel prior to installing VCP (as the install warnings says, PowerDVD or SAF codecs themselves not affected, so can be left installed) Even using Gooses guide, i do not get such a overall good Windows OS\Mediaportal support. Sorry if this went on a bit, and also be a bit contraditory from other post i have made regarding some codecs\packs, cccp for example, but have now used shark007's packs on\off for 2 years now, and have to be reminded what stops working when its NOT installed. jo16v Sorry for the long post and almost hijacking your thread, but give this a try and see what happens :) [/QUOTE]
