Glad to see that Hack7MC isn't dead. I went with Sharks codec pack when I upgraded to Win 7 and it's been great. I know some of the HTPC purists out there will grumble at the sound of "codec pack" but it isn't a bloated mess like somehave been in the past.

Only thing I still have issues with is TV3 (Freeview HD) not having sound sometimes. Problem is solved by going to another channel then back to 3 but it gets annoying. Doesn't do it all the time either. Other than that, all good!

Not exactly codec related, but folks whilst they are in this thread may also find this link handy - http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/t/4259.aspx for plug-ins and applications.

That's a good recap, though is it correct that is states that DXVA with subtitles is still not possible?

What about with CoreAVC, ArcSoft or Cyberlink codecs?
