[QUOTE="kkendall, post: 180577, member: 49885"] ah, ok! but... :S So what you're saying is, only if the [B]file extension is .mpeg or .h264[/B], MP uses the codecs from the MPsettings, otherwise it feeds it to the system? But the file extension is the 'type' of container. So you're saying that only when the container is .mpeg (I thought mpeg2 was a videoformat, not a container/file extension) or .h264 (again, I thought it was only a videoformat, not a container/file extension) MP uses the MPsettings... I've never seen or heard of a .h264 containerfile before and I think some files can be renamed to .mpeg and still play, but it's not official. Most mpegs are in .ts, .avi or .mkv or .VOB containers. So MP practically never uses the MPsettings the way you explain it... :S EDIT: just heard .VOB files are generally seen by MP as .mpeg and handled that way. That's why I think it's not the whole story how MP works... Maybe some of the devs can explain how all of this works in laymans terms. :ooops: :) (oh, I've made a feature request like you advised Flip!) [/QUOTE]
