[betaking]

last mpc-hc 1497 can not playe real media files ,but if i regsvr32 MPCVideoDec.ax.mpc-hc play is fine! is it this a bug?
PS:I not install last realplayer sp!

Hmm...I also have some problem with certain mp4 only (using build 1489). Audio and subtitle are in sync, but the video is not. For the first 3 seconds or so, the video suddenly "fast" forward by 3-5 seconds and then play normally with its standard framerate, unfortunately, it is out of sync with the audio and sub. Currently using haali media splitter, internal DXVA. When i tested it using internal mp4 splitter, whole video is "jumpy", something like frameskipping, yet it isn't = tested with ffdshow-mt h.264, internal dxva and internal FFMPEG.

However, when i drop the mp4 into mkvmerge GUI v3.0.0 to remux it into mkv, the mkv version plays just fine.

The compilation couldn't pass w/ Windows SDK 2008 since svn 1.3.1440. MainFrm.h needs Windows 7 SDK. Can somebody give some ideas? Thx!

Yes, you need the latest windows SDK that supports W7. See the build instructions: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/wiki/How_to_compile_the_MPC (you may need to do a few additional tweaks for the 64 bit version). -A

[88keyz]

Or you can use this small "reg" of mine to add register & unregister commands in the right click menu for .ax & .dll files

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.AX]
@="axfile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\shell\Register]
@="Register"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\shell\Register\command]
@="regsvr32.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\shell\UNRegister]
@="UNRegister"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\axfile\shell\UNRegister\command]
@="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register]
@="Register"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register\command]
@="regsvr32.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\UNRegister]
@="UNRegister"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\UNRegister\command]
@="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\""

Good tip! I put this to use right away.

Do you have the same audio video sync problem before revision 1469?
If so your file probably have edts (we are working on this problem)

Got it! If I havn't misunderstood, the building instructions implies that it's mandatory using w7 SDK since svn 1440, and since then the Windows SDK 2008 was abandoned. Thank you for your reply!

Anyone have any ideas on what i can do with my problem? The thing is that my graphic card/driver resets itself if i watch videos in full screen, .mkv hd file with subtitles and DXVA, if i remove the subtitles it seem to play fine. Only fix i've found to play videos with subtitles, is turning my clocked CPU back to stock clock, but i was hoping there was another workaround.

The graphics card is an ATI 5870, latest driver. CPU is a i7 920 @ 4GHz, tried lowering the clock as well, but stock clock seems to be the only fix i've found so far to play .mkv hd files with subtitles in DXVA mode.

[leeperry]

many apps like utorrent or foobar minimize to the tasktray if I click on the "show desktop" icon on XP SP3, but MPC does not...if it could, that'd be much appreciated! :)

[clsid]

It minimizes (and restores) fine here on XP SP3 when I click on "show desktop".

[Jong]

Is there anyone currently working on MPC-HC who cabn look at a problem with the MPEG-2 decoder?

I have some DVDs that show a clear dropped frame at several reproduceable points in the movie that are not there with Cyberlink decoder. It is clearly visible in the jitter charts of both the Belyaal and Gothsync renderers.

Trouble is now I am on W7 and, of course, all menu navigation is broken with Cyberlink so, AFAIK, I have to use the built in decoder.

If there is, is there any specific tool you would like me to use to cut a sample from a vob? I tried VideoReDo, but that made a complete hash of it (incorrect frame order afterwards using both MPC decoder and Cyberlink). I guess that could be an indication of a bigger issue in the DVD authoring, but as I said, Cyberlink decoder handles the orginal VOB without issue.Sorry to bump. But there was no reply to this. Can I just check there is no one working on the MPEG2 Decoder, so no one interesting in debugging its dropped frames?

As it happens I have discovered I can use the Cyberlink decoder on W7 in non-DXVA mode and DVD menu navigation is then fine, but still it would be good to get rid of the bug in the internal decoder.

[leeperry]

It minimizes (and restores) fine here on XP SP3 when I click on "show desktop".
I've checked "tray icon" in the options, and when I click on "show desktop", it doesn't vanish from the taskbar and move to the tasktray like utorrent or foobar...it stays in the taskbar. I'm using MPC Classic, though :o

and I will really need to use ResHack to get a nicer looking tasktray icon..

[hoborg]

Not a splitter problem using internal mp4 splitter & Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder (DXVA) it's working using internal mp4 & internal H264/AVC DXVA or NonDXVA filter = black screen

Hmm, Haali + MPC decoder works.

[nuhi]

I would like to report a fullscreen bug and a small suggestion.

If using DirectX Fullscreen mode the MPC does not realize it is actually in fullscreen. This is apparent if you choose to switch resolution in fullscreen mode it will not be triggered when using DX Fullscreen without the Launch Files In Fullscreen option.
So in another words: DirectX Fullscreen Mode does not switch the internal fullscreen flag on its own.
Also playing disks from the already started MPC will cause this.

If I may suggest to move the Player-Launch Files In Fullscreen option to the Playback menu with other screen options.
And it could be upgraded to also switch all playback starts in fullscreen, which is needed for playing disks. e.g. 'Start playback in fullscreen' (not just files!)

To replicate:
Enable DirectX fullscreen mode.
Disable Player-Launch files in fullscreen mode.
Or Enable Player-Launch files in fullscreen mode but actually play a DVD from the MPC menu.

Btw I like the MPC Gui being on the main monitor while Dx fullscreen is on the secondary output which is the TV.
If you do fix this please explore the possibility of rerouting the reported display properties of the actual output, not where the MPC GUI is. So that plugins like Reclock can get the correct output.

Also the new AUTO refresh changes dependant on FPS do not work in my case, let me know if you need more details or some testing.

And of course thank you.

Very true. There are actually two independent flags, one for regular (windowed) fullscreen and one for exclusive mode ("D3D") fullscreen. These are rather independent. I happen to be looking at this right now to see if I can make the behavior more consistent. Ideally, as I see it, exclusive mode should work just like regular (- some limitations + some good features). It's a bit tricky though as one needs to stop the graph and disconnect the renderer to switch between windowed and exclusive mode (and then reconnect the renderer). So don't hold you breath... -A

Hmm, Haali + MPC decoder works.
Strange !?!
Have you check disable gabest mp4 splitter (or something like that I can't remember now) when you installed Haali ?

Try turn off dep for vista! because some files i use 1356 is fine !use 1369-1503 mpc-hc crashes!but if Try turn off dep for vista! mpc-hc not carsh! so i think you can try turn off dep!

Last non-crashing revision is 1356, and rev.1369 crashes (I use builds from xvidvideo.ru).BEX c0000005, this means that there was an illegal read/write to executable or non existent memory.

This crash is very bad, if you ignore it the computer could become unstable (but most likely mpc-hc will crash or hang at some point later)Try turn off dep for vista! because some files i use 1356 is fine !use 1369-1503 mpc-hc crashes!but if Try turn off dep for vista! mpc-hc not carsh! so i think you can try turn off dep!Dep cannot be completely disabled, MPC-HC forces your computer to enable DEP for it, if you remove DEP completey MPC-HC will give an error and not work.Same for me under Windows 7. Dragging slider bar causes mpc-hc to crash, if using reclock, and evr / synch renderer.Clearly reclock is causing either mpc-hc or itself to write/read an illegal memory region(executable page)

I am having some problems with backwards frame stepping in the latest revision (1503). It works with AVI, WMV, and MOV files but does not seem to work properly with MP4 or FLV files. Also, RM files aren't working for me forwards or backwards. I am using ffdshow and quicktime and realplayer architectures.

It seems that the "No show" for PGS subtitles http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/162 it's getting worse cause now i can find more files for which the PGS subtitles are not displayed ! (The "hit reload" trick it's working only for external sub and waiting also doesn't work )

Same problem.
No fix since one year for many bugs related to PGS subtitles and new problems appeared.

If it continues I could not use MPC-HC to see bluray with subtitles because See bluray movies with many subtitles that doesn't appeared is very bad . It's a very bad thing because MPC-HC is a very hood player.

It's a pity that subtitle rendered of mpc-hc is neglected.

[leeperry]

is there any way(I would have overlooked) to ditch the 2 decrease/increase speed buttons? I often click on them by mistake when I wanna go previous/next...and Reclock gives me some funky artifacting :(

I'll take them out w/ ResHack, that'll be a good start ^^

I cannot for the life of me get H 264 DXVA to work anymore. It worked like once and I don't know what happened.

I am running Windows 7 x64, and my GPU is an ATI HD 4350 (mfg by asus)

XVID plays ok but in both MPC-HC (now running 1.3.1503.0) and Boxee (only with hardware acceleration checked) I get a green screen for all my videos, though subtitles and audio play.

I'm running Catalyst 9.12 with the hotfix. DXVA Checker 2.2.0.0 shows nothing available under video acceleration settings.

Can anyone help? Mercury_22, I see you have a similar setup (at least with a different ATI card).

NOTE: I can edit/change settings with DXVA Checker 2.0.2.1 and disable H264 that way.

Looks very much like a buffer that is twice the intended size has been allocated. Does this only happen with the custom renderers (VMR renderless, EVR custom and Sync Renderer)? The others are ok?

I shall look into this when I get the opportunity. Did somebody have a sample with which I can repeat the behavior?
