    Just to learn more about MediaPortal working with different codecs, I uninstalled SAF 6 (it's so easy to reinstall it) and installed the LAVF package mpei instead. Now, all playback issues I had before (DVD menu is black screen until arrow key is pressed, OnlineVideos crash when playing 720p material, playback of some xvid files) are all gone.

    I think that instead of just blaming playback issues on MediaPortal (just because stuff plays back in perfectly in GraphStudio), maybe some time could be spent on making SAF 100% compatible with MediaPortal (like LAVF seems to be)? All issues seem to be because of FFDShow forcing itself to be used instead of LAVF even though I've set MediaPortal not to use it.

    Thanks

    sorry, but i totally disagree

    i have ati card so lav decoder is pretty useless (even software decoding is awesome) plus the only way to get downmixing or upmixing audio working perfect is use ffdshow audio also i would mention the only solution i've found for play vc-1i is by saf ;)

    i'm not experiencing any issue on onlinevideos: i use PDVD codec for HD onlinevideos also for compatible SD ;)

    so thanks to SAF and his author ;)

    I have an NVIDIA card. Maybe that's why I have issues and you don't. Hoborg has an ATI card IIRC.

    I have the DVD issue also and I'm on ati card. When I have time I will try to install the lavf package. See if it works that way.

    AW: SAF v6 (based on LAVF)

    Yes by me to. On Mepo it dosn't work for VC-1 Files. I wrote this prob a view post bevor that. Only in MPC-HC it works with PDVD11 but not in MePo.
