Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - MPC-HC Green Screen with The Hobbit (1) Bluray MKV Rip

Hi folks,

I'm seeing something odd and wondering how to troubleshoot.

I just ripped the bluray of The Hobbit (vol 1: The Unexpected Journey) to MKV with MakeMKV. It completed with no problems.

However, MPC-HC on my desktop gives a green screen when I try to play the file. Sound plays, just green video. I see the same problem whether I use the x64 or x86 version of MPC-HC 1.71, using either EVR-CP, Sync, or MadVR renderers. I've tried reinstalling using reset settings and still see the green screen.

On this computer, VLC (2.1.2) plays the same file just fine, as does Windows Media Center via MediaBrowser 3 Classic (LAV instead of windows media foundation) or TMT5. So, there's nothing wrong with the file.

The odd thing is that my HTPC downstairs seems to play the file fine in MPC-HC (x64, using Sync renderer). Both computers are Win7x64 SP1, both AMD processors with ATI graphics cards (HTPC: 5670, Desktop: 4550).

I can't explain why MPC-HC won't play the file on my desktop PC...

Is there any troubleshooting I can do to explore it? I've never had this problem before.

Thanks!
