Hoi,

MP does not determine h264 or mpeg2 within a mkv container. That's what I tried to explain. It just throws the file into direct show and lets windows decide. MP only builds the graph manually, if it recognizes the file extension mpeg. And therefore MP does not use the codec you set for mpeg, although the mkv might contain it. Thats what the initial topic was about: "MP does not use settings", remember?

Well, I do not know if the programmer is still around. So this is just guessing: He did not know better? I think its not sooo easy to look into a container and check the codec. Its much easier to program "if file extension = mpeg then do this else that". Please keep in mind that this is a OpenSource-Project. The programmers work in the spare time on this.

And as told above, your idea makes sense! So I really think this will be thought of for future releases. Just make a feature request to make sure its written down somewhere!

Flip.

[QUOTE="FlipGer, post: 180396, member: 10293"] Hoi, MP does not determine h264 or mpeg2 within a mkv container. That's what I tried to explain. It just throws the file into direct show and lets windows decide. MP only builds the graph manually, if it recognizes the file extension mpeg. And therefore MP does not use the codec you set for mpeg, although the mkv might contain it. Thats what the initial topic was about: "MP does not use settings", remember? ;) Well, I do not know if the programmer is still around. So this is just guessing: He did not know better?
