CCCP, CoreAVC, Haali Splitter, MPC = end of story.
Forgot to mention, I went over my uncle's house this weekend and he showed me his nVidia pure ... supposedly to play everything at best. So, I said ... "sure". I downloaded a Macross Frontier 2nd opening theme which was 1080p with flac sound and the piece of shit couldn't run both sound and video at the same time. What more, the video clip was rendering at 14-19 FPS. So I had an argument with him and told him to try out what I had on my computer. We did and it played flawlessly with the set up I had. The video clip renders @ 23-24 FPS. I'll stick with this set up. It's the best as of right now.

That combination fails in the thumbnails aspect.
CoreAVC isn't exactly free now is it. This offers the opportunity for free GPU offloading (did you read the article). Don't close your mind so quickly. Experimentation leads to progress.

Well...there is a free version of CoreAVC, although old. I use it and it works fine for me.
And then of course....you realize where you are...so uh...I'm pretty sure CoreAVC is free ;)
fohfoh:
Keep in mind we've come a LONG way since VLC. It used to be THE shit. Till most of us found codec packs and such. Now, it's basically second tier. (Third tier being useless shit like real player and those)

In the respect of an old version, you may be correct. CoreAVC itself however, is either a 14 day trial or a 15 dollar license subscription. Provided I could easily get it for free through illegitimate means, but I'd personally rather not do that considering how excellent of a product it is. Against my code...(but I will not shell out 15 dollars for it either, since it will not provide much advantage for me anyway, GPU offloading is not really necessary and stock ffdshow decoders, or even the Media Foundation's H 264 codec will result in similar quality)
Before you call me out though, the reason why I don't follow that rule with anime is because I hate how the companies go about it. Not every show is aired on TV, and even if it is, not everyone has the ability to watch it all the time. Does that mean for people to find new anime series they like, they have to gamble on expensive box sets without knowing if the show they are buying is even a good one? I use bakabt for the purpose of finding anime I like, and all of the ones I do like, I subsequently purchase the box sets, to reward quality work. My uploads are strictly for the purpose of pointing out anime I like to other people, and to remind people of the shows the grew up watching in the case of the toonami uploads. If I thought it would help matters, I would put a thick banner in every one of my descriptions saying "If you like this series, THEN BUY IT PLEASE!!!". Unfortunately that would just cause people to skip over my descriptions instead.

You can get any software for free on the internet. You know that better so claiming "Uh, you have to pay for it" is full of errors. Google is your best friend. With CCCP and CoreAVC, both are unbeatable. Microsoft trying to dominate those two? Sure. In couple of more years they will while we'll be moving forward to something newer. Microsoft is only good at making operating systems. Everything else is just failed products to their opposing competitions.

Keep reading...keep reading...come on tatsujin it will dawn on you eventually. (I know how to get Keygens and Cracks and all that other stuff genius. I even said "Provided I could easily get it for free through illegitimate means")
Microsoft has the potential to do so many great things considering the resources they have at their disposal. However, they need to adopt more of the methodology of newer companies like Google. They are hung up on the idea of catering to corporations, and end up making their products too official, rather than following Gates's original idea of bringing software to the masses. But that is digressing.
