I'm really not sure my friend, maybe one of the other media players calls on a different codec or file that is causing the issue?
I found this on another forum:
If you go to 'Shark007 Codecs' in the Start Menu and Right-Click on 'Settings Application' and choose Run as Administrator.I had an issue with ffdshow_beta6_rev2527 on my P4 was at a 100% CPU all the time.
Installed CoreAVC pro, disabled codecs for H.264 in ffdshow and now CPU is on 4% - 10% usage like normal.
Also my PC can now playback 720p MKV files with DTS with very little frame drops in Media Center.
1080p is too much for it still but considering its a AGP 8x Video Card I dont think I can complain.
Once it loads have a look under the H264 tab, there is an option in there to disable FFDshow for that codec. You could experiment with that?
Otherwise, if you're happy with VLC, then all is good.
