I might be totally misunderstanding, but is this MPC version supposed to play H.264 and VC-1 videos without any external codecs?

I am not new to MPC in general, I use it mostly for high definition movies, most of them in transport stream files, 1080i and 1080p. I setup a new box and decided to give this a go, clean install and not use any codecs, but I couldn't get it to work. I was only able to play MPEG2 and x264. As a test, I installed CoreAVC and using that my H.264 files would play, as usual and expected.

I tried turning DXVA on/off for H.264 and VC-1, no change. Should H.264 and VC-1 play with the internal decoders? Is the transport stream the issue, maybe internal splitter can't handle it? That wouldn't seem to be likely since MPEG2 in TS files does work, but I am just looking for any possible ideas. Thanks.
