Question about video decoders

[andonato]

I used the Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility and found that the following MPEG-2 decoders are installed on my system:

ffdshow Video Decoder
CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD8)
MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest)
InterVideo Video Decoder

How come only the InterVideo and "system default" options appear in the dropdown list in the config utility? I would like to try some other decoders, as I'm not really satisfied with my picture quality, but can't figure out how to make the others appear on the list.

As an add-on to this question, are there other decoders that I should be trying as well?

Thanks!

How come only the InterVideo and "system default" options appear in the dropdown list in the config utility?

config.xml includes a list of the decoders that GBPVR will search for on the 'puter. The dropdown list in config.exe shows the decoders from the config.xml list that are on the machine.

I have been able to add decoders to the dropdown list by adding them to the list in config.xml. Edit config.xml (blah backup blah) using notepad ... you need to get an exact match for the decoder names.

Good Luck

Excellent, this worked perfectly.
