[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 788587, member: 109222"] [b]AW: Why does the user have to bother with codecs?[/b] Hi. VLC is a BTN (better than nothing) solution only. It plays nearly all content, but none of them good enough to satisfy advanced users. Especially on HD material VLC is crap. And, if you want something similar without loosing option to use High Class Playback you can install LAVF. The Video Codec from this is based on the same lib than VLC and plays mostly all VLC can play. But lets you the option to choose something lot better for HQ content. BTW, I hope I don't cheat to much, but there are rumours to bundle LAVF with MP... If this happens (I believe) average user can playback nearly all content "out of the box" without codec fiddling... And on Win7 (or up) you can use MS Codecs for HQ as well, so normal user did never have to get a look at codecs at all. [/QUOTE]
