Codecs, External Players (47 Viewers)

Post problems with Codecs or External Players here!
There is no "best setting". It is 100% personal preference. For movies, center usually contains dialog (talking), surround mix usually contains ambient/environmental noise. LFE is low frequency effects - explosions, rumbles etc. So, you choose what you want. Mix has nothing to do with quality. I've never used PotPlayer so I don't...

MP1 MP2 Software Encoder - AMD Avivo (1 Viewer) DE
Great. :) It is the responsibility of tuner vendors to provide compatible software encoders with their products. For example, Hauppauge provides SoftMCE/SoftPVR, TerraTec provides TerraTec Home Cinema (which includes compatible encoders) etc. Also, the encoders are the property of their respective companies (ATI/AMD, CyberLink...

I have MP1 with LAV filters and have encountered a problem with .srt subtitles not playing on .flv videos. I'm currently using a work-around which calls up a VLC player for .flv files - this works OK but it's a bit messy because my remote control doesn't handle VLC. I have searched for reports on similar problems but haven't found...

DXVA2 has proven to be far more resilient in playback. No freezes, sometimes when a problematic part is encountered it does stay on the picture an extra second when skipping but does not freeze which is good. My only complaint is when holding down the skip button the time location is not updated until I let go of skip. With the...

Sorry you can't play my files. Basically they are broadcast as 3 x Mpeg-Audio 2.0 tracks (one track has left/right, one has center/LFE, and one has surround left/right). So the only way to get them to "usable" is to convert them...DTS-HDMA is the best choice since it keeps it "lossless". While it's still a transcode, it's a transcode...

Hello. I am trying to figure out what I need to do to get smooth 4k playback. When I try to play back 4k video, my cpu is going to 100% and causing the video to stutter. I can play the video back in MPC-HC and it will play reasonably smooth, however the cpu runs at 95% - 100% with the gpu running at 25% - 30%. If I play the same video...

FWIW, figured I'd post my status with this. I *think* the issue is resolved, but not how I had expected. Short story is I had been trying to keep my display at 23.976/24 for movies to match the media sources. The CPU supports this, and every time I looked at MP, MPAR, ReClock or MPC stats and performance. Media appeared to render...
