What would be the best combination of player and codec for the best quality possible for MKV files
not sure i asked in the right place but would like a more clear answer
It seems that on most other websites there are pols and topic about how efective the said codec is at reducing load ( as to be used in a cheap . old HTPC ) when playing 1080P files , whilst i dont care for that .. i have a powerfull enough PC to play 1080P just from the CPU with ease .. what i would like to know is .. wich one is the best purely from the image quality perspective
examples :
Media player classic with ffdshow
media player classic home cinema edition with DXVA ( wich would be hardware decoding )
VLC player ( using its own codecs - also has an option to use hardware decode - not sure if its DXVA or some proprietary thing , not even sure exactly what DXVA is :D, apart from it using the GFX in order to decode the stream )
any other player -- CoreAVC codec ( havent used this one in a while now , not sure exactly how good it got but when i tried it last year ... it seemd to have less HQ than ffdshow for example )
