it's not N264, but H264.
try and google klite mega codec. install either the full mega codec or the standard one. should be able to play most (if not all) of your media files.
or try and download vlc media player. it has built in codec in it.

installed mega codec still same.. pls refer to the pic

THANKS guys, guess i will try use MPC first and see , previously i use coreavc and have this lag problem, and some1 advice me to uninstall it but still have the same issue. this DXVA isit suported by MPC-HC only? the reason why im sticking with mediaportal is because of the interface, easy me to watch movie/series/anime or music.

i'm using xbmc paired with ember media manager. so prefer other media manager, but ember is the best for me (though i still have others installed and using them).

i prefer to store all the info in nfo/fanart/poster files (rather than in internal database) because i sometime format and/or change my system.

I got try ember yesterday with few movies , seems once it find the movie it ask to choose which fanart/backdrop need to download. can this function set automatic? since i have alot of HD colection which i think i canot choose one by one.

WHY dont you guys try PS3 BDremote ? working fine and can configure every key using app.
