I have followed this thread for months and have happily watched how each revision of MPC HC has become more compatible with various HD file formats.

One particular 1080p mkv would never work in MPC HC until after the 520's, since then it will play in every output mode EXCEPT for overlay.

I have two PCs both running XP SP3, one with an 8800 Ultra, the other a 3870, all internal filters checked/no external used, and overlay still does not work on this sample file. Is there something I'm overlooking or is this file encoded improperly? DXVA does not get enabled when playing back in VMR7/9

Is there any changelog for these monthly runtime updates?
I can find only the major update changes on msdn.

There are also the sections 'What's New in the June 2008 DirectX SDK' and 'Features Introduced In Previous Releases', detailed lists of changes release by release, in DXSDK\Documentation\DirectX9\directx_sdk.chm.

Exactly, I think MPC-HC should be built with the latest SDK from now on since pretty much everybody uses VMR9, Overlay or Haali anyway. The more optimization, the better.I dont think it will hurt to see if updating to the latest SDK will help everybody's playback.Even more reason to look into this further...There seems to be a lot of people that are mentioning a significant improvement with the latest SDK builds and those old builds show promise. I hope we get some new builds that take advantage of that and it ends up fixing a lot of the slowdowns people have been reporting recently.I second all of that.No, the latest SDK is March 2008.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/B...&categoryid=2#

Devs, can we get a build built with the 3/08 SDK for testing?

You do realize that replying about the same question over and over in slightly different ways is still spamming the thread?

Feel free to do as CLSID suggested. test the last 10 sdks and compare. (or just the last one if you just want it for yourself)

To add to ericab's well worded post, I suppose you will delete all but one of a person's posts if they speak about the topic at hand in a thread more than once? Spamming is one thing, staying on topic is another.

We cannot use latest SDK because DX7 have been removed (and it's necessary to keep VMR7 renderless).

9th June 2008, 08:46

Bug? Using the x64 build 552, if I enable any OSD function while using EVR custom, I get a black screen with the OSD on top. It seems that for some reason instead of being transparent, the OSD covers the entire video area.

Because in Vista, if the renderer is not changed from install default 'System Default', MPC-HC will use VMR7?

9th June 2008, 13:13

I have send Casimir666 some info about a tool to automatically write the revision number to a source file, which then can in turn be used during compilation to place it in for example the about box. Yes, things such things aren't as simple as everyone here seems to think that they are. Improving the about box in now on Casimir's ToDo list, so everyone please stop whining.

A little bit more suggestion: Since MPC-HC started a new name, no need to inherit the lengthy version number from MPC.

A better version number may help everybody to contribute code and avoid duplicate work, maybe it's time to drop 1.1.0.2 and make new version numbers such as 1.1a build 100 (a for alpha) or 1.1b build 200 (b for beta).

Thanks everyone.

Then they can use existing stable versions of MPC-HC, like 1.1.0.0

People who use legacy renderers and legacy hardware and legacy Operating Systems can use existing older versions.

For example, the current versions of MPC-HC do not work with DVD Menus in Vista.

So, I have my DVD-ROM drive auto-run set to use an older version of MPC-HC, and video files use the current version of MPC-HC.

Using an old version of the SDK is bad programming practice.

samab

9th June 2008, 18:33

I didn't realize my little comment back from February about SDK builds would create so much discussion.

The problem is that the user base is such a diverse group --- some just want to play ordinary xvid files on a slow computer without downloading codec packs, some want to play with all the fancy ffdshow filters to make their xvid movies look like actual dvd's (or dvd's looking like high-def), and some just want to see if the latest hardware can squeeze another 2% speed improvement.

Perhaps a monthly "legacy" build should be available on the sourceforge site --- for those who need support for older stuff. It's not like you are removing VMR7 support for good.

Then they will not benefit on the new improvements like the improved h.264 decoder (now no need to pirate CoreAVC or PowerDVD anymore) and the subtitles delay/fast-forward features that has been incorporated since the old version was released. And VMR7 is not a legacy renderer as of today (even Vista still has it in a gimped version), and so are Windows XP which is not a legacy OS. The latest and the greatest is not always the best.

9th June 2008, 20:39

VMR7 Windowed and Overlay Mixer are the only renderers capable of DXVA and mirroring. VMR9 is not particuarly desirable except Renderless for subtitles (while maintaining DXVA) -for which must be sacrificed colour settings independent of desktop and also mirroring, as said.

So, in short, viva VMR7!

The MPEG-TS files in the following site can be played on MPlayer with Video an Audio. MPC-HC plays ok the video but recognizes the audio stream as MPEG1payload with no sound...

Until r512 I get video with no sound. Starting with r513 I lost the video and with no sound!!!

The files has h264 and he-aac streams.

I have tried MPC Cinema with a Radeon 3200 and it works fine though. However if I want to play a MKV that is DXVA-compatible and has subtitles, the DXVA is turned off. If I disable Vobsub, MPC Cinema plays it with DXVA but without subtitles.

Is there a way to play a video with DXVA and subtitles?

People who use legacy renderers and legacy hardware and legacy Operating Systems can use existing older versions.VMR-7 is the default renderer in Windows XP, which still happens to be the most widely used OS.
For example, the current versions of MPC-HC do not work with DVD Menus in Vista.Does it work with a newer SDK? I have seen no comfirmation of that yet. It DID work in the past, with an OLDER SDK.
Using an old version of the SDK is bad programming practice.That is absolutely not true. But if you know so well, then don't YOU start doing the hard work instead of Casimir.

Don't get me wrong. I am all for fixing problems, even if that means dropping support for certain things. But I have yet to see any confirmation that a newer SDK would make things any better.
