Well, based on this article I found one reason – in order to support the format that your ripper supports.

I guess other reasons could be performance and quality.

I surely have a problem now that may be related to performance. I have just installed Win7 RC on my Toshiba Qosmio F20 and I am experiencing pixelation and stuttering with live DVB-T TV. It worked fine with analog TV on Vista.

The problem could be a driver that needs to be updated. Or that the Qosmio is not powerful enough to handle DVB-T?

I will try out the different tools and codec packs recommended on this site, but I would greatly appreciate suggestions that might help me minimize the amount of trial-and-error I will need to go through.

I think a great article on Hack7MC could be about why one would consider using other codecs than the standard MS installed codecs, what problems another codec might solve and what problems it would most likely not solve.
