You have external copy of LAV filters installed obviously.

Yes, I do. I investigated this already.
But the second question is still open.

You would get a better answer if you would have given more info about that other codec. If it supports multiple formats, then I assume it provides options that control what it decodes.
If it doesn't get used when it is set as preferred then it obviously means it does not support the video format that you were playing.

clsid, I've told about CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder. Actually, now I'm not sure if it has any advantages over LAV but I'm just curious - how to use the lower part of External Filters section?

Anybody know why the options under "sync renderer settings" would be disabled?

You should select "Sync Renderer" in Output tab first.

v1.7.2 is released

After almost 2 months since our last stable build, we decided to release v1.7.2. This release is a bugfix release, with a few performance improvements and a few new features.

Highlights of this release:
  • Many subtitle renderer performance improvements and bugfixes
  • Minor UI tweaks, like showing the hidden main menu with Alt key
  • High DPI improvements
  • Re-designed the shaders storing system
  • Many LAV Filters fixes and improvements, including various crash fixes
  • Switched our translation system to use Transifex, see this news post for more information
  • New Croatian and Malay translations

You can download the new version here. For the complete changes see the changelog.

You'd have to forgive me if my following question is too amateurish. I'm not an expert when it comes to video playback.



Is the sync shown in the image normal?

The two lines stick very close together during movies with some occasional small spikes. Are they supposed to fully overlap?

Also, the frame rate never completely locks at 23.976. It fluctuates from around 23.972 to 23.981 something.

Thats all perfectly normal. They never overlap perfectly, but thats OK.
The framerate fluctuating is not perfect, but also pretty normal. It happens because timestamps in files are not 100% accurate, but as long as its close enough to the target, it'll be smoothed out automatically by the V-Sync.

Decoders from Cyberlink can often not be used outside of their own products.

Thanks for clearing that up. Some movies exhibit some stuttering in MPC-HC, so I thought my player wasn't working properly. Guess that's not the case.

Another thing; my monitor is set at 60 Hz refresh rate, and it's the max value too.

Is it really necessary to match the refresh rate to video's frame rate?
Once I set it to 48 Hz, thinking it might change the viewing experience, but didn't really notice a difference; or perhaps I did something wrong?
The sync lines and behavior with 48 Hz were also pretty much the same as 60 Hz.

P.S. Your filters are great. I can't thank you enough.

Going from window to fullscreen (and back) seems (looks like) to be slower than in 1.7.1.

I'm not sure what bugfixes were made, but there are still issues with subtitle handling. Subtitle handling in .mkv files and Blu-Ray playback is still messed up. Mkv files with a subtitle stream (made with mkvmerge) with the Default=no and forced=no still have the subtitles show up every time when the LAV splitter subtitle selection mode is set to Default with no preferred language. They don't show up when the splitter is set to forced. Blu-Ray disc playback does the same thing. If there's no forced subtitles and I don't have a preferred language it seems that MPC-HC / LAV should honor the .mkv file or blu-ray disc settings and pick no subtitle.

BTW, nevcairiel says this is a MPC-HC issue, not a LAV issue. Specifically that MPC-HC overrides LAV's default behavior. link

In the 1.7.2 changelog:

"internal pixel shader editor was removed, you’re supposed to use specialized external editors from now on, but can still view compilation output in “Debug Shaders” window"

Why was the pixel shader editor removed?

i have a question about subtitle texture settings. Specifically, I was wondering about the "Desktop" setting for maximum texture resolution. If your watching a video on a secondary display, does the desktop setting refer to the resolution of the first display?

I can confirm that the external LAV filter does not have the same behavior as the internal LAV filter. The external one works correctly. The internal does not.

i just did a clean install of 1.7.2, and I believe I'm having the issue that stereodude is having. Which is that internal lav splitter is selecting the subtitle track with the lowest track ID rather than nothing when there is no default track in an mkv.

I believe this issue is related to the "auto-load subtitles" option, as the problem goes away with external subtitle renderers.
