Windows XP - Video Codec Priority?

[mrchan]

Is it possible to adjust video codec priority? How? Thanks!

Absolutely. Most video players invoke DirectShow, which you have to change accordingly. What the DirectShow Filter Manager does is search for filters (codecs) with the highest merit that are compatible with the media. Here's a good utility for raising codec merit: RadLight. You may have to reboot for the merit changes to take effect.

I will give that a try. Thanks!
