Helo with CoreAVC

I've seen a few posts endorsing CoreAVC as the greatest thing since sliced bread for H.264 playback. These messages seemed to be in conjunction with 5D2 .mov files. So I installed the trial version of CoreAVC and find I have nothing but a field of configuation options. The CoreAVC site seems to shed little on the matter and their user forum is just a random grab bag of messages that I just dont have all day to sort out, assuming I would even find anything. So let me toss it up the group?
1. Is CoreAVC of any help to playback native 5D2 .movs? Which options on the config screen do I need?
2. If so, how do I use it to playback the .movs? Is it a plug-in for another player or something else?
3. Anything else I should be asking?
Any enlightenment greatly appreciated.

Eugenia,

You noted on your blog (How-To: Fast h.264 decoding on your PC):
"To force CoreAVC to decode .MOV h.264 files on the Mplayer Classic player, you must rename these .mov files to to .hdmov"

I just discovered another way, I added the .mov extension in MPC configuration
That specific blog is closed so I thought I post it here

Thanks, I added the info on the post.

Trying to do this but I think this is a MAC window. This is a PC forum, how do you do this on the PC?

Worked like a charm, but a few comments..
1. CoreAVC Audo Decoder filter option for MPC isnt available, but sound seems to play ok anyway.
2. Playback with CoreAVC is less resolution and higher contrast than with Quicktime, I guess this is the impact of the filter.
Thanks again.

CoreAVC is not "less resolution" than Quicktime. It plays back the real thing, in 100% quality and size.
As for the higher contrast, it's because Quicktime uses the wrong contrast, not because CoreAVC does. It's a known bug/feature of Quicktime.
