windows a perfect job of selecting codecs for media

it wont do a perfect job of selecting codecs for media if you install codec packs or weird software

what have we learned?

dont install codec packs or weird software.

i personally only use the following on all my windows computers:
ffdshow (everything -mpeg2 -h264)
powerdvd (mpeg2, h264)

add haali splitter to that and avoid software that installs codecs on its own and youre set

dont blame the system if you cant manage your codecs, codec packs and bundled tv card software usually install conflicting decoders that get higher merit than the actual working codecs, and thats when you run into trouble.
