Hi.Please; LAVF vs SAF v6 - What's the difference, pros/cons?
I'm also very confused about this codec "mess" :-S
Now we have 3 codec options?!?
MEPO builtin(Microsoft Codec)
SAF
LAVF
What the difference/advantages/disadvantages?
Problems running them together?
Is there any performance difference?
Hopefully one day, codecs would work "Out-of-the box" when installing MEPO...............Just like XBMC.
Hate configuring codecs...............too many options:-P
P.S Still a applause for Hoborg, for easing the codec installation into 1 single package - but lets try to evolve - Keep it simple :0)

SAF is already simple as possible.
LAVF is the future, but there are still a lot of work util it will be final solution.
SAF is not only for MePo, it setup DirectShow on your PC to be able to play as much as possible with the best quality and as less as possible codecs installed. This will make you possible to play nearly anything just out of box player undepended.
Basically, there is no need to configure anything after SAF install on PC, just double click on video, it will play in MPC-HC using SAF setup.
