Now, it's been some time. Here I get into conversation, just trying out the VP7 codec for the first time. MPC etc resolves the issue by hooking the (installed) On2 VP7 codec (VFW), thus playback works fine. However, VLC does not. I've read this thread so I do understand the issue with licenses etc. Anyways, I must ask. Is there any way to get VLC to use the (already system-installed) VP7 VFW codec, like other media players do? Or is VLC "locked" to it's internal directshow filters etc..? I'm using the latest version of VLC; also I found the setting "Prefer system plugins over VLC". This must mean someting else though, 'cuz even after checking the option I get an error trying to load the VP7-encoded file.
Bottom-line: VLC (under Windoze) + VP7 = Not possible.
