Hello to all of you!
I've been using Media Player Classic for a good time, and it's an awesome media player.
But lately I'm having a problem with its subtitle support.
I have a Pentium 3 866MHz computer with a GeForce4 MX-400 with the latest forceware drivers (v71.89) , and use the VRM9 Renderless output option, and the subtitles play just about perfect.
But now I set up a second computer, which is a Pentium 3 1GHz, with a Radeon 9200 SE, and the latest catalyst drivers (v5.5).
When I configure MPC to output through VRM9 renderless, everything plays fine until a open a movie with subtitles. If the movie has subtitles, the video starts skipping frames every now and then (VERY frequently), and I couldn't track what was the reason for it...
If I just disable the subtitles, the video still skips, but if I don't load the subtitles, the video plays just fine. Another funny thing is, if I don't load the subtitles in MPC and use Direct VobSub (v2.23), the video also plays perfectly.
When I use VRM7 renderless output, the video still skips, but I have the impression that it is to a lesser extent...
* Sorry for the loooong backstory, getting to the point now:
What I wanted to know is if any of you guys know of this problem, if this is an incompatibility with the video card (on my GeForce4 MX on a slower computer, the video doesn't skip), with the driver (maybe older versions don't have this problem), or if it is something that I have to configure in MPC.
The thing is, MPC has better support for embedded subtitles and some newer formats than Direct VobSub, so I really wish I could continue using MPC for displaying the subtitles...
Hope you guys can help.
Thanks A LOT for your attention, AND patience! :-)
My best regards,
Lucas
