Arcsoft codec for Mpeg2?

Hi all,

Using 1.4h currently with the cyberlink codec and it works ok at best irt quality. Then I saw a post on another forum by Rel mentioning the Arcsoft codec worked well for h264 so I thought I would give it a shot on SD Mpeg2 channels. I downloaded the trial from the arcsoft website and now the Arcsoft codec indeed shows up under h264 but it's not listed as available for the Mpeg2 stuff.

Has anyone seen this and been able to resolve it or is the codec just not meant for mpeg2 (even though it says mpeg2 on their website).

Thanks,

CG

arcroft h264 is mpeg 4 and will not work with mpeg2. Use nvidia purevideo for mpeg2 and arcroft h264 for you h264 and all is well.

No, arcsoft has mpeg-2 codecs too and works fine on DD.
just needs the following definition in guids.ini (v1.4i guids.ini will include this)
VIDEOCODECxx=ArcSoft, {F50B3F10-19C4-11CF-AA9A-02608C9BABA2}
