Hi kkendall,

first of all: I really considered not to answer to your post, because your expression is very unfriendly. Hopefully this is only due to translation.

Please read my post carefully:

I totally agree with you, that codecs and windows can cause serious problems. I read sometimes ago a really interesting article about codecs being the new DirectX desaster. All those programs installing their own codecs and changing the merrit of it can cause a big mess.

But I did not want to write an essay about codecs. I just tried to explain patricon some things and therefor my explanations did not go into deep details:

Thats exactly what I wrote! (Or at least tried to explain... )

I know, I wrote about the the specification of the codec this way, because I know how MP does it! I read the source code. MP decides by using the file extension. Not by looking into the container, to check which format it contains.

I never said it was an unlegit question!

And if you want that option: Make a polite feature request or take a look into the source code and try to help changing MP like you want.

Flip.
