[QUOTE="Seeco, post: 504268, member: 58425"] Another very popular codec pack (which I'm using myself) is the SAF codec pack: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/saf-v3-47-standalone-filters-mediaportal-dxva-ready-mpeg2-h-264-vc-1-a-44614/[/url] Before I have been a real purist running ffdshow with profiles for pretty much everything, but I'm glad that I tried SAF out because it's really user friendly. It's nice to get some hardware acceleration as well, my CPU is definitely challenged by some high bitrate encodes.
