I recently built a HTPC. Has Quad Core 2.83GHz 65W Version, 4GB DDR2 800, and Gigabyte Mobo w/Nvidia 9400 Chipset.
I only want to install 1 codec pack to get everything to work.... but I really want hardware acceleration for my rips... I dont do anything crazy, just some H.264 mkv and mp4 rips of anime episodes, and .vobs of my ripped DVDs.
Again, Hardware acceleration is a must in windows media center. Want to keep the CPU utilization down as much as possible.
Which 1 codec pack do you recommend? I was thinking CoreAVC because of the Cuda support? But then people have mentioned CCCP.
I have read the sticky and tried a few things, but ended up hosing my box (my fault) so I just formatted and ready to rock again.
Extra Info:
Sony Bravia XBR6 46" 1080p
Hooked up from HTPC to TV via HDMI.
Only using the speakers in TV
No receiver/no plans for a receiver
Blu-Ray Driver and PowerDVD 9 Ultra for BR playback
Have to use WMC cuz its easy for the wife.
Thanks experts. Please own me and call me a nub now
