That's the sign of a good codec pack, but, I find that it's always better to install EXACTLY what you need rather than a blanket codec pack. (And yes, I do realize that the good codec packs allow you to control what gets installed, but, I'd rather do it myself as needed). Just a philosophical thing. For me, I forced the merit on ffdshow dxva in MPC-HC and called it good. But, I was also told this wasn't necessary because it should be higher than the non-dxva version. I suspected that was wrong but I was the only one reporting it so I left it at that.
