it looks like it can't display subs muxed in mkv

if manually loaded, then it's OK

maybe you need to use mpc-hc 64 bit?I'll give it a try and report back. I was mainly interested in understanding if there was any specific configuration to apply, in order to take advantage of CrystalHD.

I tried ass, srt and idx/vob and all of them worked fine, just like in previous versions. Also XP SP3 and VMR9. Maybe you can upload a short sample?

rev. 1593 Allow compiler to emit SSE code by adding /arch:sse for all projects and -msse -mfpmath=sse for ffmpeg (as discussed on IRC, SSE has been available for AMD since 2001, intel since 1999, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions)
OPTFLAGS+=-O3 -march=i686 -msse -mfpmath=sse
Can you do some benchmarks to see if it is faster. This issue was discussed years ago and all sse build's were slower than generic. All important part's of ffmpeg use hand written asm code, I don't think that forcing the compiler to use SSE will generate faster code.

Basically this will most likely be the case. ICL would probably be marginally better though.

[Polcius]

Is there a wiki or some explanation about the fullscreen options and when should I use them?

And, is it recommended to use the Sync renderer instead of EVR-CP? In wich cases?

I'm a little lost about the amount of changes in MPC-HC.

[Keiyakusha]

Small suggestions about some settings location: one (http://i.imgur.com/RxqCB.png), two (http://i.imgur.com/K41VS.png).
Moving "position subtitles relative to the video frame" is pretty important IMO. Since it hard to find it there, and this is more like presentation in player itself, there is no such thing in subtitle styles. EDIT: and I guess it needs restart too.

[Virtual_ManPL]

It's just me or "Sync Offset" in Information menu didnt work correctly in EVR-Sync ?
It show always 0ms and for properly updating this information I need to display stats in full view



Also why "Position subtitles relative to the video frame" not fully enabled by default to properly display subtitles ?



Also EVR-Sync need some improvements looking on my screens
or I'm simply dont properly read graph and info on it ? ;p

The "Remember Last Window Size / Position" is broken in the latest x64 build.

It works when you first start the player then start the file playback then close the player and run the player again. (This way it saves the last size and position).

But if you start the player by clicking on the associated file the "Size and Position" of the window jumps back to the top left corner and the window resizes to the original resolution of the video.

This has been broken in all the svn 15xx :(

I can't reproduce your first bug. All my information OSD variants show exactly the same numbers. Could you provide a screen-shot of that too please.

The rest of the pictures show a situation that is as good as it gets when you play 23.976 material @ 60 Hz display refresh rate. Please see my blog, especially this page (http://www.ostrogothia.com/?page_id=1642), for a more thorough explanation of how the sync is supposed to work.

While you are at evr-sync, i want to say a bug about subtitles. While playing file with subtitle. Press forword to skip 1 second. Some subtitle appears, disappears and the same subtitle appears again. It is not accurate as in other evr renderer. Latest build with haali splitter and internal decoder.

[Jong]

Sorry, but what GPUs does the new MPEG2 DXVA decoder support. I am using a 5750 on W7 32-bit. I'd have thought if anything was supported that would be one of them, but it is not playing ball. Only non-DXVA internal decoder works (Cyberlink DXVA decoder is fine).

MPC MPEG2 DXVA support only MPEG2_VLD mode, check with DXVAChecker and you see all mode that support your videocard.

I would be delighted that this feature could be incorporated in the installer of MPCHC in on tab of choice as for the DVD.

Insert the disk, the key does is open the file INDEX.BDMV


As for the DVD, you can enter the keyboard command Navigate> Jump to ...> Title 1
This allows to directly activate the first chapter of the film, avoiding all the warnings


Thanks

Any chance of making the AC3 downmixing options also affect E-AC3?

Our user reports Build 1594 to have fixed the "distorted double picture on EVR" bug.

I tried ass, srt and idx/vob and all of them worked fine, just like in previous versions. Also XP SP3 and VMR9. Maybe you can upload a short sample?

confirming - after testing on two more PC it was clear something was wrong with my first PC

interesting - older MPC HC (SVN 154x) worked OK but latest not so I cleaned folder and registry and now it's all OK.

false alarm, sorry for any possible inconvenience...

and how about moving graph on right-down site of the screen in EVR-Sync like in EVR-CA for better readability

OK, I will read it all to fully understand what I'm changing in EVR-Sync options ;p
but on my SS, EVR-Sync working good and better than EVR-CA, yep ?

[cengizhan]

The favorites that i have added before, doesnt work anymore after that relative drive option has been added

Edit: I have fixed this by manually editing .ini file, adding a "0;" before file name.

[Mercury_22]

The 64-bit version it's crashing when I'm trying to use "Capture" - analog !
The crash it's occurring when I'm changing the resolution in "View -> Capture" from 720x480 29.97 to 720x576 25
If I change it to 352x288 25 or lower (25) I have just a black screen with audio working and NO crashing !
After trying to change the resolution to 720x576 25 and crashing when I open device again it's working well ( = I have video & sound ) for 1-2 sec then it's crashing again
The 32-bit version it's working OK with the same settings and the Windows Media Center 64-bit it's also working OK.
Also DVB-C it's not working for both versions 64-bit and 32-bit
Anyone else has problems with 64-bit version and analog Capture or with DVB-C on any version ?

Anyone have any idea why the new fullscreen auto-switching seems to do nothing here?

W7 32-bit, ATI 5750 Cat 10.1. Options are all selected but nothing happens at all. I have the screen set @50Hz and it stays @50Hz, even for 29.970fps material (shown as such in the sync renderer stats). I thought if I set the default/other setting to 60Hz it would at least do something (if it was not detecting the rate for some reason), but still it stays @50Hz.

Normally I use D3D mode, but I tried switching to fullscreen from windowed mode (non-D3D) - still no effect :confused:

I am using Reclock (to speedup 24fps to 25fps). But in the case of 29.97fps material all it does is speedup to 30fps and it would do this whether the refresh rate was being changed to 60Hz, as it should be, or if playback is @50Hz, as it is. Reclock scripting is disabled; Reclock is not trying to change the refresh rate. (D3D had to be disabled to get the last screenshot, but behaviour is the same either way).

I may have found a bug in MPC-HC, well in build 1249...

I'm loading this AVS script in it:


Load_Stdcall_plugin("c:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll" )
mpeg2source("vts_01_1.d2v").AssumeTFF()
#LeakKernelDeint(0)
Yadif()
Crop(12,4,-16,-24)


End result is a 676x452 image that's incorrectly rendered:

http://i45.tinypic.com/2ywwmq9.jpg

when I crop 4 more pixels image shows fine:

http://i49.tinypic.com/sy89z6.jpg

Looks like the Chroma is read incorrectly and my guess is because of the width not multiple of 8/16. The image shows fine in Virtualdub when it's shown incorrectly on MPC-HC. I'm using VMR9 renderless to render.

@X-Dron: several problems with autochange:

1) when disabling "Use autochange", settings are not kept, so the next time I will re-enable this setting, I'll have to do settings again (I mean setting different monitor modes).

2) In order to avoid problems, I have to use "launch in fullscreen" (like this, all post-processing filters like ffdshow detect right parameters); the problem is the fact that this option changes window size; I mean, if I exit fullscreen, window size is not like it was before.

Hi. When MPC-HC loads styled subtitles with some styles missing, it reports that style is missing and changed to default, but this message appears behind the player. This is somewhat troubling especially when you have player in fullscreen. Can this be corrected?
EDIT: I'm using win7 32bit aero is on, if that matters.

[Neillithan]

Hi, I'm having an issue with MPC. This issue pertains to the classic MPC (version 6.4.9.1 rev 106).

I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Aero interface enabled, and a dual monitor configuration on an 8800 GTX.

When I fullscreen a movie on my primary monitor, if I click the desktop on my secondary monitor, it will force the movie to exit fullscreen and go into window mode. (Undesired behavior, of course).

If I click the title bar of a running program on my secondary monitor while watching a movie in fullscreen mode on my primary monitor, the video does not exit fullscreen. Instead, the taskbar pops up in front of the movie. Again, that is undesired behavior.

Is there a way to prevent it from exiting fullscreen mode so that I can use my secondary monitor?

Thanks,
-Neil

samab, I corrected the mistake, you can download the new.

On my PC, MPC-HC crashes on playing a SWF file.
I do have the Flash Player browser plugin installed and "Shockwave" is set in the Formats options.
SWF files did play before on MPC-HC in XP.

Does anyone know why SWF doesn't play in MPC-HC now?

Greetings.
The fullscreen auto-switching does not work with D3D and Reclock. I'll correct the program. If D3D is set, then auto-switching will be unchecked and disabled.
An explanation also will be written in the setting screen setting.
Also don't use auto-switching together with Reclock.
Auto-switching uses in case you have a monitor(or TV) and a videocard that support frequencies 24(for 23.976 and 24.00), 25/50(for 25.00) and 30(for 29.97 and 30.00)Hz in WinXP. The best case is to use Vista and above and 23(for 23.976) and 29(for 29.97).
In this case, you get a straight line in the statistics.
Screenshots will be tonight.
My TV is Philips 37PFL8404 and videocards are Nvidia GeForce 8300(integrated in chipset) and ATI Radeon 4850

What's the problem ?
The problem is the fact that size of window (when it is not maximized) is changed when using option "launch file in fullscreen", whereas this option should not change windows size.

So it cannot work in D3D mode. Is that right? If so, that rules it out for me unfortunately.

Ignoring D3D for a moment, Is there a reason why it cannot work with Reclock? To take my example, my display does 50Hz and 60Hz (really 60Hz). I choose to speedup 24p material to 25p for smooth display @50Hz. But 29.97 material I would like to display @60Hz. All this seems possible with the setting options provided - both 24p and 25p set to use 50Hz, 29.97 set to use 60Hz. Reclock speeds up 24p ->25p and 29.97fps -> 30fps for smoothest possible display. If there is no reason why this cannot work I think it would be good to allow it.

[X-Dron]
