Should be Updated Simplified Chinese translation. :D

Yeah, silly mistake at commit log only :P
Sorry about that.

Is there any way to lock the position (aspect ratio) of PGS subtitles in MPC-HC?
The subtitle's position while playing a 1280x720 video at 100% is perfectly fine, but the moment you go full-screen, the subtitle layer gets stretched over the entire desktop. And in my case the stretching is especially noticeable, because I'm using a 4:3 monitor.

[Joniii]

Is there anything that can be done about the REW/FWD? On fastest (4x) it's really slow, or is there some limitation on why it is left like that?

[dansrfe]

Is there a way to override PGS subtitle positioning? The subs go over the video portion when the aspect of the file is 2:35:1 and I would like it to go on top of the black bars or if the file has been cropped and encoded then it should position relative to the frame and be positioned inside the black bars when the video goes fullscreen.

[Joniii]

Wouldn't this be possible to do and quite easy to code.

Option to automatically change display refresh rate to match content when MPC-HC goes full screen, and back to normal when it exits full screen?

Atleast it's easy to write an app to check current refresh rate, supported refresh rates and make it switch when you want but is there some limitation why this is not on MPC-HC yet? I think it would be an awesome feature to watch Blu-rays at 24p.

[Joniii]

Is MPC-HC still actively developed or just bugfixes?

[ryrynz]

Still actively developed but it is mostly bug fixes and minor changes at the moment.

Wow, I've been using MPC for years and never noticed that before. Thanks for the info.

Btw, it has the same problem as madVR. If I have another application on background (WMC) that goes automatically full screen when mpc exits from full screen @24p, the display refresh rate is not restored. As if mpc and madvr would still think that mpc is fullscreen and running.

updates in Catalyst 12.11 beta 11
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst1211betadriver.aspx-Resolves no video issue found in Media Player Classic Home Cinema when using full or half floating point processing
-Resolve missing fonts issue in XBMC
-Resolves a sporadic system hang encountered with a single AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series GPU seen on X58 and X79 chipsets.

Great, seems to have fixed a madVR DXVA2 decoding seeking issue I was having with the older betas.

/edit:
May be the cause of other problems. Be careful with the 12.11 betas.

Is there a guide to using mpc? When I play a dvd it's running at like 8fps. I don't know what's wrong! Even the first time I ran it, it wasn't working well, the motion was bad, and there was ghosting. It's a film dvd, win7, current build.

Right-click into the running video, look in the "Filters" submenu, check which filters (splitter, decoder, renderer) are used. Tell us about your video related hardware (e.g. graphic card chipset).

MPC-HC Tests

Version:
1.6.5.6293 (e624b79)
Specs:
Intel G45 video


Settings 1:
filters:
-splitter MPC MPEG Source

-decoder MPC Video Decoder

-renderer MadVR

Result:
23.95fps, choppy, no dropped frames. video pauses twice a second. Is there any log to show this?

output:
direct3d no video at all

[jmac698]

I tried every combination on VLC it worked fine, but I keep hearing mpc-hc and madvr is the best so I wanna try it.

[madshi]

@jmac698, the madVR debug OSD (Ctrl+J) does not report any dropped frames? Try activating "overlay" in the madVR settings. That could help getting a smoother result with your Intel GPU. Does the choppy playback occur with all 23.976p movies? Or just with the one you've been testing with? I'd suggest to test with a Blu-Ray movie, just to be sure that the source is really 23.976p. Also I'd suggest installing LAV Filters because frankly, the built in MPC-HC splitters and decoders aren't all that good (IMHO). I usually recommend to disable them all. Or you can download MPC-HC "lite" (which already has all internal filters removed) from here:

Is it possible to disable chapter markers?

[THX-UltraII]

Maybe this question has been asked a few times before but I cannot find it with the search function:

Does MPC-HC support 3D yet and if not, is someone working on 3D for MPC-HC?

[jmac698]

ok, I used ctrl-j, it doesn't show dropped frames but present max 5s sometimes says 48ms which could be bad. I'll try lavf

Is it possible to disable chapter markers?

Yes it is, if you're using nightly (being that stable hasn't been released yet).

Go to Options -> Tweaks -> "Show chapter marks in seek bar" and untick it.

No, at the moment there's no 3D support as far as i know, and no one is working on it.

Does anyone have a recent tutorial for getting dxva working with an older dxva card?

[wanezhiling]

What's your old video card? and OS?

MPC-HC's default setting is using DXVA, but its DXVA decoders only support bitstream mode (full acceleration), which means your card must support ModeH264(MPEG2/VC1)_VLD.

Post your DXVA Checker info.

Thanks, pushed as 330defbd (https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc/commit/330defbde8fefcd33c8096bdcffed2cc2d0970ac)

enhancement request:
could you make all windows stretchable in MPC-HC, especially the Options and Properties ones?
thank you

Hi,

Does internal MPC MPEG splitter support push filters? I've made some filter basing on UDP source which is pull filter but I have problems with it since splitters doesn't work good with source filters where there is no real known length of the media file.

Any clues how to build graph with such a filter? Just putting it into graph manually or by known protocol extension is enough? How splitter will know what streams to demux and use? From stream? Any way to hint it to not waste time since I know from the server which streams shall I use from stream?

Regards
Piotr
