Pupik Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 When installing MPC-HC, do you keep the option to save old program settings checked or unchecked? Just asking what does it do. Somebody! I unchecked this option and installed it. I need to know what it does. Please answer. It... it saves the settings of the previous install. Says so right there in your own text :blink: Now if you install it for the first time, it doesn't really matter what you check. All the same; gives you the default settings.

Shivek Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Ah, dammit! I'm having problem with MPC-HC again! It can't run MKV files with AC3 audio no matter what. I even installed Ac3filter. Help needed! Please! I just need to run all my videos without using VLC! FFS! THERE SHOULD BE A PROGRAM TO DO THAT! MPC-HC seemed perfect.. and now this! Damn.

HammyJ Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I use Windows Media player for nearly everything, and like someone else said, if it doesn't work, open it up in vlc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it gives you some kind of error, or what? VLC has problems (pixelation). Probably drivers problems. Never had that problem with ATI drivers and any VLC version on Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit).

Never had that problem with ATI drivers and any VLC version on Windows 7 Ultimate (32bit). No errors, the video just doesn't play. Only audio. And no, not a driver problem. I'm using correct W7 drivers of Catalyst 9.9 for HD4870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivek Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Pupik, what's the way to play MKV in WMP12 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 File > Open... At first time you'll get this window: Just click "Yes" and check the "Don't ask me again for..." if you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udedenkz Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Windows Media Player Classic Home Cinema x64 1.3.1249.0 VLC rapes my CPU Although it uses more CPU than WMP with DXVA. I can't figure this out. It is not the codecs and both players use DXVA. Is Windows 7 giving priority to its own components by design? This is annoying me because I am still disappointed at EVR for having offset/jitter issues, using more CPU, and whatnot compared to the superior VMR9 (less CPU usage, no offset or jitter). >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimate99 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 After trying so many different apps for video and music, I now just use WMP12. I also have MP-HC just in case i need it. I like to keep things simple. On a side note, Zune is awful, imho, I prefer iTunes over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be the Good way to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrrgh Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Music: foobar2000 Video: MPC-HC & ffdshow While MPC-HC by itself would technically be enough, I like the extra options you get with ffdshow. ffdshow is set to do resize, blur & denoise for hd videos and post processing in addition to the aforementioned for sd videos.

Leo Natan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The KMPlayer - same codecs as VLC, much much nicer interface. For the faint of heart (well, CPU...), MPC-HC is recommended. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryonhowley Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Same one I have been using since Windows XP days: VIDEO: Windows Media Player. Audio : Windows Media Player. There is no need for anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Same one I have been using since Windows XP days:VIDEO: Windows Media Player. Audio : Windows Media Player. There is no need for anything else. There is, if you want to play H264 videos encoded in level above 4.1. The current Windows 7 drivers do not support these streams and bug-out. Until Media Foundation alternatives show up, WMP is only hit or miss. If you only watch AVIs, it's all good. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullie Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 WMP12 is working great for playing MPEG-4 720p Blu-ray rips, and most everything else I play in .AVI and WMV format, DVD. If I have problems or want better quality I'll use PowerDVD DX 8.2 for DVDs, VLC and Nero Showtime for other video. Audio wise I play most everything in WMP12 and Zune, occasionally I'll use foobar2000 for tagging, file naming schemes, and formats I can't play otherwise. foobar2000 also has the best quality playback you can get, so I'm using it more these days with the native Vista/Win7 audio output API.

Shivek Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I always thought you had to install codec to play MPEG4 720p HD files. Nullie, what codec you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Natan Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Vista comes with built in H264 codecs. You only need an MKV splitter, if your files are using that container. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Video: KMPlayer. Doesn't have jump list and taskbar progress support yet, but it works well. Audio: Winamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shivek Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 SOMETHING SHOCKING JUST HAPPENED! The MKV trouble I was having in MPC-HC X64 is miraculously solved in MPC-HC X86! Now I can play everything fine. Warning to people with X64 Windows 7: Don't install MPC-HC X64! Install the X86 edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
