Hi, I have been a user of your program since the 3.xx era. Today, I've come to share a problem which I've been facing since the switch to Window 7 recently.
As you know, Window 7 has this Media Foundation Codec thing that determines what codec it uses to decode a video files. And it happens so that H.264 and AAC is supported natively as well, which means that decoding videos that uses H.264 and AAC using 3rd party codec (I am using the latest CCCP codec pack dated 09-09-2009) on Window Media Player 12 is impossible by normal means.
Then coming back to the program, what I've observed while using the program is that while encoding my videos, FFDShow Video Decoder and FFDshow Audio Decoder are not used at all! This means that the program is using the codec found in the Media Foundation Codec. Here lies the problem, as i am using a 2.1 audio system, I've been seeing the error which says that the 5.1 audio cannot be downmixed to 2.0 or something along that line. I searched around and found that the workaround to this issue is to force the output of the audio to 2.0, which can be done easily in Vista by going to the CCCP Control Settings, but not in Window 7, as there's no options for me to force the output to 2.0.
So, I would like to make a suggestion/feature request, is it possible for the program (PSP Video 9 etc), instead of using the codec found in the Media Foundation Codec, to have a option of pointing the preferred codec to the ones in CCCP Codec Pack(FFDShow Video Decoder, FFDshow Audio Decoder etc), something like the media player classic found in the CCCP Codec Pack which essentially uses the codec provided instead of the one from the Media Foundation Codec.
Thank you for taking time readng this and hope you could give me a reply soon. And a great job in developing this program. :)
