- If you want a free opensource mpeg2 codec which really works in all cases then look here:
- GPL MPEG 1&2 codec : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplmpgdec/

- order of merit, from highest to lowest. (It uses additional criteria to choose between filters with equal merit.)
- Using this tool YOU can specify which filters/codecs should b used for playback and which wont
