good HD player? (.m2ts, AVC, VC1, AC3, DTS, subs)

[florinandrei]

I'm looking for a good software that could play Blu-Ray or AVCHD disks. If full BD and/or AVCHD playback is not achievable (with menus and whatnot) that's ok, as long as the player is capable to:

- play 1080p content on not too old hardware
- play .m2ts files
- play video tracks encoded AVC, VC1 or MPEG2
- play audio tracks encoded AC3 (DTS would be nice too)

(If it could do all those things, I could just open the .m2ts file on an AVCHD disk and play it directly - then the full BD or AVCHD playback with menus would not matter that much.)

Playing subtitles embedded in a .m2ts file would be a nice bonus.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: The operating system is Windows.

Media Player Classic Home CInema + ffdshow - use the MPC-HC DXVA decoder for whatever your video card supports, ffdshow for the rest (ffmpeg-mt is pretty fast for H.264) and for audio. MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer handles BD-SUP in M2TS as well.

Hi!

Actually, you can use Microsoft Windows Media Player, supported by FFDShow to play the first 5 items (including DTS) that you've enumerated...

The BD PGC in M2TS doesnt work in my setup of MPC-HC/CoreAVC/ffdshow audio decoder/Haali Renderer/Haali Media Splitter :( How can I get it to work?

Try using EVR-CP and the internal MPEG-TS splitter.

Awesome! I tried EVR-CP but it also works with Haali Renderer. my main question is that why does Haali Media Splitter not support PGC yet? Also with the internal splitter I can finally see the correct labels for the audio and subtitle streams. Is there any chance that Haali will be updating the splitter any time soon? :)

Thanks once again :)

Ask Haali, if you can find him ;)

Is there any chance that Haali will be updating the splitter any time soon?

It was updated today (http://haali.su/mkv/) but the changelog says nothing about PGS subs.

EDIT: The operating systeery welle m is Windows.

try mpc-hc (player only) + ffdshow (for all: subs, codec).

For full support of blu ray subs you must use the last version of ffdshow and not mpc-hc because the support of bluray subs in mpc-hc doesn't worked very well and there are many bugs not corrected since one year and more.

splash video player, freeware and DXVA.

Is not perfect but is good. No codecs needed ;)
