[QUOTE="rivera, post: 505499, member: 85161"] Let me imagine how does it work. There are splitters & decoders registered in Windows with their merits. When GraphEdit attempts to open some media it enumerates all the appropriate splitters and finds the splitter with maximum merit. If there are several appropriate splitters with equal merit - GraphEdit uses any of them. Similarly - for decoders. In case of Media Player Classic Homecinema, two algorithms work: 1. First the player attempts to use explicitly defined decoders (in the "Options" dialogue window). 2. If no appropriate decoders are found, the player chooses some decoder basing on merits like described above. And finally I cannot understand how this approach is implemented in MP. From one side, there are explicitly defined decoders for H264 & MPEG, for instance. At what time merits are used? Sorry for possible grammar mistakes :) [/QUOTE]
