[QUOTE="booris, post: 482916, member: 65364"] I agree with Radioman that codecs are really a pain in the a** and it seems almost impossible to get them work perfectly. Especially if you are like me, not very interested about technical details, just want to have a good quality picture. I put osd on from ffdshow and it seems that ffdshow is used (those green texts appear on the screen when watching video) regardless of what I choose from Mediaportal's settings. So should I just forget any other codecs and use ffdshow? That would be fine, ffdshow has given best picture quality so far, the only problem is that it doesn't always turn off after watching video (those icons stay in Windows notification area) and that prevents my computer to go automatically standby. I'm starting to believe my wife who says that this project will never be completed... Maybe I should just go and by separate dvd player and digital receiver, watch photos with Wii and listen to music with Winamp. Just hoped that finally I would have working integrated system... I'm a little desparate at the moment, as you can see :) [/QUOTE]
