| QUOTE (phaeron @ Mar 6 2011, 12:02 AM) | | This setting only matters if you have the codecs that were originally used to encode the video. The reason I added this option was that previously the codec fourcc was included in the search, which meant that the codec that was used on your system sometimes depended on what was used to encode it, and two videos that used the same compression sometimes opened with different codecs for no apparent reason. The default is now to ignore the codec fourcc so that, for instance, all XVID encoded files open with the same codec. | |
