[QUOTE="Andrew H, post: 819332, member: 56239"] I appreciate the help/suggestions on troubleshooting this! I tested your suggestion by uninstalling Haali and installing LAV. That's all I did and when I played a .m4v file it choked giving me the popup "Unable to Play"... Looking at the log it's still loading the MPEG-2 codec (PDVD9) and not the .264 codec (DivX) I'd selected. Do you think there's a bug in how it isn't picking the .264 codec? Any other suggestions? UPDATE: I repeated this test using the DEBUG mode to open MP (logs attached). Although it seemed to act the same (popup for .m4v container), I followed up by playing a couple of .mkv files I had and they played fine. I took a quick peek at the mediaportal.log and it seems to add/use the MPC_Video codec to the graph sometimes, the DivX codec sometimes eventhough I have DivX selected. Odd, eh? [/QUOTE]
