[QUOTE="gilberti69, post: 523117, member: 75332"] First off, despite what might be said, IMHO there is no such thing as an "all in one" solution, the closest I found is 'Sharks codec pack' but I still wasn't happy. Also try to remember the people making these packs, plugins or whatever, do so in thier spare time, so complaining isn't going to get you far. Anyway, for those having problems I've just rebuilt my HTPC and from a FRESH install of XP with MP & VNC (to help the WAG factor). First I took an image of the partition so I could experiment and roll back when things went wrong. I then used this: [B][link removed!][/B] as I have quite a few HD movies. I then followed the instructions on the first post of this thread. To get SPDIF to pass 5.1 i followed the following guide: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/ffdshow-audio-ac3-filter-settings-5-1-spdif-70814/[/url] you have to be prepared to fly by the seat of your pants a bit and do your own thinking, but hey, isn't that the fun part? Yes I still have a few odd videos with no sound but they're mainly music vids so no biggie.
