Media player classic problems

[alienfinder]

When ever I play a long video with MPC it crashes or the audio lags behind.I re-installed it and it still happens.What should I do.

[anonymez]

alienfinder, you've been here long enough to know we need more info than that!

what are your pc specs? does this happen with mpeg4? mpeg2? are you using ffdshow? does this happen in any other players?

[Chewy]

Have you installed any codec packs?

Yes I have ACE MEGA CODECS.



@anoymouz sorry for the lack of info .It crashes with both MPEG2 and MPEG4.I have windows XP SP2 384 ram and 1.2GHZ amd athlon.

my advice is to uninstall all codec packs, use ffdshow for playback of mpeg-4. see if you can reproduce the problem...

does this happen in any other media player??

Ok I will uninstall all codec packs.And no it doesn't happen in any other player.

and another thing, you mention that you "reinstalled it". mpc does not need installation, its a single exe file, so did you really mean that?

I installed real alternative and it came with MPC.

don't know whether the one that comes with real/quicktime alternatives is the same (i never install from either). get the latest mpc at http://www.free-codecs.com . it is still at 6.4.8.4, but has been compiled by celtic druid and contains a couple of bugfixes...

Sounds llike you have a bad codec configuration for me. VLC is playing the file? Windows Media Player is playing the files?
If VLC is playing the file it's than for shure a Directshow-Filter Problem, which VLC doesn't use in case of mpeg videos.

Have you done some 'Overrides' in Option-Filter in MPC or deactivated some Transform- or Sourcefilters in Option-Filter of MPC?s?

Also give the 'new' (Beta) MPC a try:

It's a Beta of a new version (mp4 support) Gabest is working on.

I just got it but haven't installed it yet. What an increase in size, it's over 7MB counting the DLL. I'll try it after football is over on Monday Night. Thanks!

MPC 6.4.8.5 with mp4 support

@alienfinder: got latest audio and graphics card drivers? latest directx? as thomas_ar mentioned, try disabling some source/transform filters.
