[QUOTE="Ticiano, post: 503699, member: 97138"] CThuga, in some way I didn't understood for sure yet, Microsoft tryed a kind of "take over" in something related to DirectShow filters. It's harder to get everything working with Win7 than with any other version of windows. In theory, it's just related to Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center. This apps will not use any other codec that you install if they have a original codec for that format. Now they have H264 codec by Microsoft, etc... so the things are suposed to work as it is, out of the box. (For mkv you just have do install a splitter). So, in theory this changes were suposed to affect this two Microsoft original media softwares, but somehow I felt this "little change" made everything more complicated when it comes to setup a dedicated HTPC, even when you don't want to use the MS media solutions... This is just my experience... I just tryed to setup my HTPC with Win7 and I quit and get the system back to Vista (even when I REALLY hate Vista)... For my desktop I'm with Win7 and there's nothing better, but I'll wait till I overcome my trauma to give Win7 another try with HTPC. :S Sorry for my bad english... here is the only place on Earth where I put it in pratice! :D [/QUOTE]
