I think Flip was being very polite and patient in his reply.

I also assume it was a language issue that caused the mix up, but a lot of what flip said was responded to incorrectly in kkendals post, which Flip pointed out.

As for the effort required to change the code to individually select codecs, I guess this could be an easy task technically, but quite lengthy in the time it would take. As flip said, MP checks the extension not the contents of the container. This would need to be changed as well as adding in all the drop down boxes for every codec (and maintaining as new ones are made) which would take bit of time.

At the moment, there is a feature freeze while the last bugs ar being squashed in preparation for the next big release. After that, it may be considered, but to post a feature request, you really need to use the proper template in the feature request forum.

Your post was good in that it highlighted the fact that only MPG files are handled by the codec selctor. I didn't know that. It doesn't really matter to me, but it does explain some strage things I have seen in the past.

Hope this helps,

Marcus.
