What is a decoder, which ones do I need, and where do I get them?
Mary is pouring orange juice. George Sr. reads the newspaper. Sheldon enters, hollow-eyed, holding a single CD-R.
: While Sheldon is at college, Mary takes Missy to her middle school orientation, highlighting the different paths the twins are taking. Technical Task: FFmpeg & "Deep Text"
"That's the sound of freedom, Missy. FFmpeg. The Swiss Army chainsaw of multimedia frameworks. I'm using a delogo filter to interpolate the damaged macroblocks from neighboring frames."
: To convert a video file, use the basic command syntax: ffmpeg -i input_file output_file
Later, on the living room TV, the repaired video plays. The pyramid stands perfectly. Missy grins.
It depends on the country you're in, the television system you're using, and sometimes the device you use. If you don't have a decoder you require, NextPVR will tell you what type of decoder it's missing. Here are some example decoder requirements for common user groups:

NextPVR is a 32bit application so will only see 32bit decoders on the machine. It can't see 64bit decoders, so these will not be listed.
NextPVR's decoder settings only apply to Live TV, and the playback of .ts recordings. For playback of other file types, like .mkv/.mp4/.avi, it's left to Windows to decide what decoders etc are used during playback. Installing LAV from HERE will often resolve issues with playback of these other file types.
