Need Help Setting Up Shark win7 codecs with GOM
So I am using Win7 64bit and GOM player to play video files, and decided on Shark's codec pack since I read a lot of recommendations for it. I have used GOM with a lot of codec packs including Shark's but I always somehow end up unsatisfied. Main problem are MKV, rmvb and quick time videos.
Firstly MKV: I tried using the settings to chose different codecs to play the files, including the built in GOM codecs, and while some codecs didnt show subtitles properly or didnt show them at all, others affected the smoothness of playback in GOM (framy by frame effect on playback). Also I cant see any thumbnails for mkv files. Also sometimes when i disable built in codec for MKV from gom prefs>filters depending on chosen external codec i may get codec missing msg even though the video plays in GOM but there is no sound (tried to open the video in WMP in those cases and it plays perfectly in WMP).
rmvb: mostly the problem here is gom player can not find the codec even though the codec pack states it is included. also again missing thumbnails.
quick time: i seriously cant play these files unless i install the quicktime codec and player from official site. thumbnails again missing.
mp4: no problems in playback here, just the missing thumbnails.
So to sum it up, since i have noticed some ppl use GOM + Shark codec pack, can anyone please help me and guide me to the best possible choice of settings for both gom and the Shark codec pack so that I can play all these files smoothly, with subtitles if they have them, and have thumbnails too. I seriously cant manage my way in the settings since the number of them is so vast, and I cant even understand what some of them might do.
Thank you in advance ^^
