MKV files and Media Center


Recommended Posts

i just got this gotsent thingy and just let it do it's job. I burned it to a DVDRW to test but i'm sure it would work over the network too... right now same quality (freaking great!) and i'm definitely enjoying it for sure.

Well im giving this a shot atm, but i didnt know the x360 played mp4s?

EDIT: well the results are in and the mp4 plays in media center but its still stuttering in full screen mode, im lost for ideas now

EDIT:2 just tried playing the mp4 via the 360 and i just got a black screen, audio or video didnt play, i need a mkv to wmv converter

To quote Will Riker ... Yes, absolutely, I do indeed concur wholeheartedly. Gotsent is a Godsend, I transcode to MP4 and I'm all set plus if need be I can stream to 360 with TVersity

No issues here either. I use ffdshow, latest beta build (may be key) and Haali media splitter. It's all you need.

I also use this: http://damienbt.free.fr/

Recommended highly. I used to use codec packs, but glad I found this solution. Oh, and I doubt you have a weaker cpu than the one on my mce. An A64 3300+

I haven't seen this mentioned yet here, but your card should support DXVA hardware acceleration which might help with your problem. Grab http://bluesky23.hp.infoseek.co.jp/DXVAChecker_1510.zip it will let you know what your video card supports exactly. Then grab a copy of MPC-HC, and extract the file MPCVideoDec.ax and register it with regsvr32, it supports hardware decoding, FFDShow and CoreAVC do not. All the video decoding is offloaded to your video card and on your system watching a 720p movie you should only see 5-7% CPU usage when watching a 720p video.

Also within DXVA Checker you can test your videos to make sure all is working:

To Shao128, please how I can extract mpcvideodec.ax from latest build of MPC-HC?

Many thanks

Hello Shao128, thanks for replay.

But you has type:

Then grab a copy of MPC-HC

I understand it as download exe file, and from it extract *.ax file...

Single filter of mpcvideodec.ax on sourceforge is pretty old. Latest build of mpc-hc allow using dxva for 8800 nvidia series. But i need this as single filter. With 1.1.0.0 doesnt work for me.

Thanks a lot

Sorry I should have clarified. The package you downloaded is just the player itself. Youll want to grab the standalone fitler package, the .ax is in there. 1.1.0.0 is the last official release, if you are looking for newer builds (alpha/beta) you can find them in this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123537 Its a little long, but look towards the end, they are posted there.

Many thanks, but i know about this thread. Here is latest build of exe file. But I need only MPCvideodec.ax filter from 558 exe build.

I dont know much about c++ compitation, does anybody compile this file from source code?

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
