Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

[sneaker_ger]

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

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.

@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?

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

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

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
