BoDEAN Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 So now that W7 RTM has been out since quite some time, what media/video player have you guys been using? Same ones I've been using since Windows XP. Foobar for audio MPC Home Cinema (64bit) for video. No reason to use anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shivek Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Anyone here using VLC? I heard it has some pixelation probs in W7. Anyone fixed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted October 12, 2009 Subscriber¹ Share Posted October 12, 2009 Media Play Classic Home Cinema x64 You dont need a codec pack with MPC-HC In fact you should never need a codec pack full stop. VLC has pixelation issues no matter what the OS, it should be called VLLC, video looks like crap, but thats just my opinion after using (suffering?) it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistaT40 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Been using WMP and MPC - I prefer WMP.......MPC is just for some obscure file formats that doesnt work on WMP unless someone can recommend good codecs e.g. mkv or flv etc that can run fine on WMP for Win 7. I've been hearing conflicting suggestions on CCCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VLC has pixelation issues no matter what the OS, it should be called VLLC, video looks like crap, but thats just my opinion after using (suffering?) it Wait, so that means I don't need any codec or anything to run MKV and AC3 files with MPC-HC? If yes, that's awesome! As for VLC, I've been using it on Vista and XP since ages. It's flawless, only has issues with 7. Windows Media Player.Very impressed with it so far. How I wish it could play MKV.Edit: I just installed MPC-HC, it gives me one error: No D3DX9.dll found. What does it mean?

You mean WMP or VLC? Because both of them can play MKV files. And you need to install DirectX 9. Here, just run this and it will update all the needed files: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;DisplayLang=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using VLC currently with your W7 setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I keep repeating it, but MPC-HC in EVR mode without any external codecs is really all you need. It plays pretty much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argonite Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I use Windows Media Player for most applications, including music. MPC if I need fine video control. Being able to change the synchronization of an audio track on the fly is really neat. I use https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=announce&f=12&id=11 Codec pack, since it automatically registers associations and codecs for WMP. Technically I don't have to use MPC but it's handy and fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
