[QUOTE="eetaylog, post: 823493, member: 47491"] Whislt ive got no complaints with windows based codecs (i currently use SAF6 pack) as theyre certainly good enough for everyday use, ive always noticed how much better the video decoding is when playing DVD/blurays through my PS3 compared to my current htpc setup. At first i thought that it was something to do with framerate because the PS3 runs so much smoother and really brings out the best in mpeg4 video, as well as vastly improving mpeg2, but it cant be that because both my playstation and media centre run through the same television with identical PAL setups (50Hz). So it must be the built in codecs that are the reason for it being so much better, right? Id appreciate peoples thoughts on this, as codecs are such a complicated subject and id love to be able to get decent mpeg2 upscaling/improved HD content on my htpc.
