I'm coming to the conclusion that HD video in general is just a cruel joke, and probably isn't even worth my time. It took me long enough to get HD playing smoothly on Windows XP, I caved in and bought Power DVD 7 and it worked fantastic. Now that I've upgraded to Vista I'm in the same boat I was in before.
Power DVD plays sound, but no video, ffdshow is way too choppy with about 50% frame loss even with a high end Core2 system and post-processing off. What exactly are my options? Is the total and utter lack of Vista support as well as poor HD support in general mean I will never be able to watch what I want?
It just seems to me that codecs in general are a joke, with every company trying to do their own thing, theres no homogeneity. I'm at wits end, Help computer!
