[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 709033, member: 82144"] Why not use the encoders: no reason that I know of, but since it is such common sense I'm almost certain they will have been tried and found to be incompatible. Incompatibility is a more serious issue with encoders than it is with decoders... Up until 1.2.0a the list of supported encoders was "hard-coded" into the MP source code. In 1.2.0a it has been moved to the DB so that encoder prioritisation could be supported. A positive side-effect of that is that any user who knows how to edit entries in their database can add new entries to the supported software encoder list if they want to try them out. So what are you waiting for?!? If you are so keen to try the Microsoft encoders and you have W7 then install MP 1.2.0a, add the encoder names to the softwareencoder table in the DB and see if they works. As I've already said, the only reason I haven't tried already is because I don't have Windows 7... :) [/QUOTE]
