[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 762189, member: 11220"] Most problems with codecs are down to odd encodings. Win7 ships with h264 & mpeg2 video codecs which satisfy nearly all commercial video. Audio issues tend to be down to HD audio (trueHD etc) which require dedicated software (TMT/PowerDVD etc) or FFDShow; FFDShow has several issues with patent infringement so MP is unable to ship that and obviously things like TMT are commercial players. On win7 most things should play out the box. If you want MKV you do need to install a splitter (LAV, Haali, MPC) but that is the only extra that is needed. Often videos that do not play are downloaded... if you encode them yourself they will look like commercial videos and work. I would be interested in what video and audio types you are having issues with (mediainfo as above) [/QUOTE]
