I have never messed with my settings over the years,I just update the programfiles.
for some reason tho I get all kinds of problems now with the last few updates.

I think DirectX 10 should be listed as a dependancy
If you dont have it on your system mp4 and mkv files
just dont play properly.
You get green stripes across the screen
and the sound advances faster than the "film".
Which sucks cuz the DirectX installer wont let me install it on XP

Now the entry contains a link to your post.

DirectX 10 requires Windows Vista or above.

Well I dont really know enough about it to say that not having DirectX 10 is the actual cause of the problem.

I am going to trash my ini file and see what the default settings do for the situation.

A friend told me it sounds like a codec problem and to install and use some external codecs if reverting to the default settings doesnt fix it.

A couple of months ago one of the main developers of MPC-HC forked the project.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/

AFAIK, BE means "Black Edition".

EDIT: He doesn't seem to comply with GPL too well. See the discussion in http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/2219.

Because it wasn't stealth before and we have been too lazy to retest.

Sorry, but I'm not going to retest MPC-HC now. First, I have MPC-HC installed as well and may miss some registry entries. Second, I'm sick at the moment.

Did you test it with DVD ?

@SYSTEM: Nothing serious, I hope? Get well soon.

Indeed, not serious. As you can see, I can use the Internet just fine.

nope
does it write registry or files with dvd?

thanks

Played a DVD iso via emulated drive and also drag n dropping the iso into the player. Does not create any registry entry like that old post mentions. Using Windows 8.1.

If you use LAVFilters (which is default now) - it stealth
If you, for some reason, decide to download and use external filters (from same devs) - it may be write something to the registry
I think Ruby's comment was made when MPC didn't include LAVFilters and used external

I'm using separately installed LAVfilters on my system but the ones built-in MPC-HC will take precedence over that unless you uncheck all the internal filter settings.

If you have external filters(gabest, ffdshow, powerdvd, etc) in that system obviously it would use those because MPC-HC is still a directshow player. But I wouldn't consider that part of MPC-HC anyway. You can still manually block the use of external filters using the external filter settings though.

I don't know what this is worth but the K-Lite Code Pack crew [http://www.codecguide.com/] includes MPC-HC and even lists their own comparison with other toolsets http://www.codecguide.com/about_kl.htm. Keeping in mind that K-Lite is non-portable, closed adware, they don't really care much about licenses (http://codecs.forumotion.net/t714-end-u ... ement#3460) so I figure they'd package whatever they felt like. Anyway, it's an endorsement.

I remain a VLC and SMPlayer user but it was interesting to see.
