Could you please, kindly remove what Wendy said, and please don't put what she said in the newsgroups. Names are supposed to be private, I believe, and the newsgroups are meant for testers only...

This is at the risk of sounding elitist, but that is NOT my intention... although admitedly it does look like it.

*cringes and waits for all the flamers*

No flaming here, I'm for freedom of info and all that but sometimes control and rules helps stop misinformation. You have to have a pretty severe password for the NG's numbers letters exclamations marks (not the normal forum password makeup) to access them so it seems clear MS want the info there to stay there. Anybody with legitmate access to the Vista beta will be able to access the NG's and posting info here will make it less likely that participant beta testers will benefit from info that MS don't want made public.

It's not being released today.

We are not releasing a build today. I have received emails and IM's from a

number of people about a supposed build release today. This is not the plan

and it seems some people out there that have popular Windows rumor sites

have gotten some bad information.

As when we released 5342 we continue to look at builds to see if we have one

that makes sense to release for further testing and feedback from the beta

audience. The fact that we are doing this is not really news. We've been

doing this since at least prior to 5342. We may have something soon that we

can release to you with any luck it could be sooner rather than later. It's

an ongoing process and I can't make any promises or even speculate what

build or when it might be.

I can tell you that 5365 will not be posted for you today and I can assure

you that as soon as we have something that is worthy of release we'll get it

out there. I would like to have a reasonably solid, updated build available

to you as much as anyone.

Paul

Sorry.

You dont have time to crop a picture? Dont waste our time then, loading a huge picture when only 20% of it contains anything worthy. Put some effort into posting.

Sorry, I dont ever remember posting it for you... I posted it for another user.

Secondly, I posted a thumbnail, you didnt have to open it and look at it.

:rolleyes: Christ sake.

I Seriously think, this thread should be closed. i was the one who started it, and since the info was false, i think the thread should be closed, and have the false info move to Mr Dee's thread.

Mod's watching out there, if ya could please close this thread, as some of us, ( not naming names) are geting restless and routy in here.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

      No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.

      Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
