[QUOTE="akajester, post: 372884, member: 83447"] Hoborg would be the best to answer this but I'll give it my best shot. For starters if you installed SAF you wouldn't install ffdshow. SAF uses Media Player Classic Home Cinema edition as it's main audio/video decoder. Also, SAF is setup specifically to work with Media Portal, not other applications (that doesn't mean they wouldn't work though). So, you'd follow the installation steps on the first page of this thread. This would get you Haali splitter, SAF and Media Portal running. Setup MP according to the screenshots. Then if you want other formats, like quicktime and real you'd install the quicktime alternative and real alternative packages (found via google). I'm pretty sure SAF as it stands will play xvid, divx, etc. Again, check out the first page, all this info is there. I also run MP with the TV server and it works great with my hauppauge tuner. I believe it records in .ts format and SAF plays everything perfectly, so no worries there. When I first started playing with SAF I planned on using AC3filter as well, but found that I just don't need it as the MPA decoder works great. The other nice thing is Hoborg keeps up with the codec updates so we don't have to! :) [/QUOTE]
