    Media Player Classic 6.4.8.9 Released :^)

    Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0

    Been following the almost daily builds closely, get ready for some sexy features in this and upcoming builds

    get it here http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=84358

    haali's renderer is greyed out till you install matroska splitter http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/


    changes:

    - two pass bicubic shader, bilinear more optimized
    - dropped subtitles are loaded instead of opening them
    as a media file
    - thumbnail image generator
    - dsm demuxer can output individual streams into
    files (context menu -> demux...), the raw data is
    corrected if possible, like subtitles are output
    to srt/ssa/vobsub, frame header added to aac, wave
    header to pcm, etc.
    - better support for quicktime files by the mp4
    splitter, more track types are recognized and also
    reads zlib compressed headers
    - dvd navigator's software dvd region check is disabled
    using the detours lib, there is still a hw region
    check built in the firmware of the drives, unless it
    was flushed with a region free firmware it will still
    not work and may cause strange problems like freezing
    the player
    - the mpeg ts splitter can repack h264 streams in
    "mp4 style" packets for decoders so they won't crash
    (ffdshow, coreavc)
    - "next aspect ratio preset" command
    - yv12/i420 is no longer a disallowed format when
    using "vmr9 (renderless)" as the renderer, holding
    the ctrl key when loading a file will still disable
    it, the current display drivers should not have that
    color conversion bug anymore but just in case...
    - vmr9 (renderless) mixer mode available, it allows
    deinterlacing and other vmr9 features, off by default
    because it is slightly slower
    - Haali's video renderer can be directly selected in
    the options (subtitling works, shaders don't)
    - mpeg decoder sse2 optimizations (most noticable at
    hdtv resolution), optional interlaced output, new
    "field shifter" deinterlacing mode
    - nero's "vobsub" inside mp4 supported
    - clicking another window on a different monitor while
    mpc is playing in fullscreen will not restore it to
    normal size anymore, if another application grabs the
    focus, its name and window title will be displayed on
    the status bar of mpc
    - graph builder of the filter graph manager was rewritten
    (again), let's hope nothing is more broken than it was
    - new built-in async reader for udf sources, currently
    only works with the internal mpeg splitter because
    others aren't prepared for constantly growing files,
    use the following syntax as the file name:
    udp://[<multicastgroupip>]:<port>/[<mediasubtypeguid>],
    where "multicastgroupip" is optional and "mediasubtypeguid"
    can be used to specify the subtype of the stream, for
    example udp://:1234/{e06d8023-db46-11cf-b4d1-00805f6cbbea}
    means transport stream, it will also work fine without
    the subtype, just selecting the right splitter will take
    a little longer
    - the checked state of the "enable subtitles" menu item
    is preserved, this means you can disable subtitling with
    the vmrs now without having to turn it off for each newly
    opened file
    - floating toolbars are saved, next time mpc opens they
    will appear floated and at the same position on the desktop
    - normalizer/booster was moved to the audio switcher, to
    avoid high spikes lowering the volume too much the
    normalizer regains 5% per second now
    - "quick open file" menu (similar to vlc's)
    - options/filters section was redone a bit, the internal
    filters have their own property pages, mpc won't be
    controlling them directly anymore
    - there is a changelog this time!

    other fixes:
    - random crash when seeking files with mp3 audio streams
    and using the internal decoder
    - compatibility with the oggds/vorbis decoder restored
    (it is a bug in the ogm vorbis decoder btw)
    - blank checklist elements in options (external filters
    now, overrides before)
    - run-time error when loading files with certain unicode
    characters in the filename
    - unicode id3 tags, byte order of le/be utf-16 tags was
    mixed up
    - repeated languages loading vobsub subtitles
    - dvd angle switching (angle number was off by 1 for many
    years lol
    - long delay when doing "seek to keyframe" with the avi
    splitter
    - fading dvd subpics (~ multiple entries in DCSQT)

    bad news:
    - resource ids were cleaned up and renumbered, the old
    command assignments are lost, sorry.

    Thank you for the heads up, appreciated as always. If somebody gets the time could you look this over. If more info is needed, let me know. This is after MPC update / Haali / Matroska. Right now I have Mpc, video all & audio all.

        Mpc is my default player. I use it to play avi's, mpeg's mp3's. If you are asking am I doing anything heavy duty or out of the ordinary, I don't think so just normal PC media player stuff.

          those settings are fine for regular playback-- you need not worry about them till you dabble in dual monitors/tv out/hd, upscaling, etc

                              Media Player Classic has bad quality on dvd playbacks. I have tried several dvds and they all look very bad, well at least compared to my interVideo Dvd xpack player on my PC. Am I doing something wrong?
