Yes I'm sure that coreAVC is used because before installation I couldn't play mkvfiles in MP.

MKV is a video/audio container file (just like an AVI file) and has nothing to do with h.264 content. An AVI file may provide some video encoded in h.264 and a MKV file a DivX stream, there is almost no rule about which contains which. Perhaps you already had a h.264 capable DirectShow filter on your system but you weren't aware of its presence before installing Haali's splitter.

Thanks for the tip regarding GraphEdit, that surely would explain my problem since I have an integrated crappy graphics card.

The magic behind CoreAVC is that it doesn't rely on any kind of hardware backend. You should get the exact same performance using either a GeForce 5200 or a 8800.

You were right. I had ffdshow installed and it was coding the movies upscaled, therefore the low framerate. CoreAvc works great now! Thanks!

MP1 MP2 MP1.32 64-Bit Video Codec problem DE
That fixed the problem. I just manually installed VC_redist.x64.exe and reinstalled 1.32 64-bit. Thanks for that. A couple of things; the deployment tool for 1.32 doesn't remove the previous version when you're updating from 1.31 to 1.32 and "MediaPortal TV Server" gets installed even when you choose to install the client only.
