Issue Xvid:
When playing files through the MP the quality of the movie files is not as good as when plying the files directly through XP (MediaPlayer classic). There is much more pixels showing in MP then in just MediaPlayer.

Issue DVD:
When playing DVD through MP, the movie get several twitches ever 15min or so (missing maybe one or two seconds), verry enoying. This doesen´t seem to happen when playing through PowerDVD directly.

do you experience similar issues with MPV and MPA codecs?

 

[roccster]

Yes,

Tried these codecs yesterday and they are behaving the same way (for xvid that is).
