I have tried MP RC, but couldn't get h264 .mkv external subtitles to work (only avi xvid subtitles worked), so returned back to 0.2.3. But maybe i missed something in ffdshow/directvobsub/coreavc setup only. But hearing your problems, will stick to 0.2.3 for a while
In 0.2.3 the final step to make subs work was adding directvobsub to filters in MP config. In RC it causes all videos to stop playing
But I don´t understand your problems with picture overscan... As I said, I connected PC through VGA to Panasonic plasma, in TV menu had to move the picture a few pixels left and up and there is no pixel missing - no overscan at all. it has native res 1024*768 and I put there 1024*768 so I do not see the reason why it should have some overscan, maybe it's HDMI problem???
