media player classic standard filter, setting it up

[THX-UltraII]

I have some questions about the Media Player Classic HC

When I play a .WMV 1080p file and look at the filters that are used I see the standard decoder of MPC there. It has many settings which I would like to understand. I m running a dual core 6750 and own a 7600GS PCI-e card.

The settings I would like to know more about are:

ffmpeg settings:

ffmpeg => can be enabled or disabled
decoding thread number: 1,2,3,4,5 or 6 (standard on 2)
error resilience => careful, compliant, aggressive or very aggressive.
H264 skip deblocking mode => none, default, non reference, bidirectional, non keyframes or all frames.
IDCT algorithm => auto, libmpeg MMX, simple MMX, XVID or simple.

I hope you guys can explain me some things of this or maybe point me to some manual or guide there is concerning these options.

ffmpeg: if you disable this MPCHC will have to use an external decoder for the video.

threads: the number of threads to use for decoding. Use 2 for dual core cpu, 4 for 4 core, or less if you have some reason to. The program automatically detects the number of logical cores you have.

error resilience: probably something about how to handle corrupt data. more careful = slower (more CPU power)

h264 deblocking: the last step of h.264 decoding is to smooth out blocky artifacts from DCT compression. You can enable/disable/modify this step.

IDCT algorithm: the code used to perform the inverse discreet cosine transformation. This mostly has to do with what CPU you have. If the program misidentifies your CPU you may have to override the chosen algorithm.
