I have CoreAVC, ffdshow, and Cyberline Power DVD installed -- and each provides a codec for h.264/avchd playback. Playing x.264 files (and just about any other video file) works great, but when I try to play .m2ts/.mts from my video camera, all I get is sound and a black screen. Playing the same file in WMP, or Zoom player, works fine.
Changing the codec in the Media Portal Configurator for h.264 playback doesn't seem to have any impact. I'm not sure which codec Media Portal is using right now to play back avchd files, but I'm guess it's not the same as WMP... how can figure out which codec is being used?
On a similar note, playing back x.264 files (.mkv) was really jerky until I set "preferred codec" option in CoreAVC, and now it plays back great (in both cases, CPU usages was at 20-40%)... Again, my guess is that one of the other codecs was used by Media Portal (even though I selected CoreAVC in Configurator), and that it didn't like it...
Any suggestions, ideas? What can I try to figure out what's going on here? In summary, Media Portal is now playing back every kind of format perfectly for me, except for .mts/.m2ts, while WMP and other players play them back just fine on the same machine.
Thanks!
