Media player classic problems

[Chewy]

"but it plays okay with nero showtime"

definitely not hardware or drivers then

that leaves codecs

alienfinder, right-click media player classic while its playing a video with the problem, and list all you see when you mouse over 'filters'

to demux (split audio and video into separate streams) an avi file, open the file in 'virtualdubmod', under 'video' select 'direct stream copy'. under 'streams' click 'stream list'. click 'disable', then click OK. under 'file', click 'save as avi'. save somewhere on your hard disk. the file that you just saved will contain ONLY video. play that file in mpc and see if it has any problems.

here's what it said for filters.




I haven't tryed demuxing yet.

[anonymez]

you've got nero and 'mpeg1 audio decoder' doing the decoding for an AVI file, when ffdshow should.

try this: go into mpc's options, click 'overrides'. click 'add filter'. find 'ffdshow mpeg-4 video decoder', double-click it. tick the box in the list, then click 'prefer'. do exactly the same thing for 'ffdshow audio decoder'.

mpc will now force the files to use ffdshow for video and audio. close mpc, then play your video

ok I done that but I couldn't find the ffdshow audio decoder.

then go to start-->program files-->ffdshow-->ffdshow audio configuration, and set ffdshow to play mp3/ac3. then go into mpc's options, click 'filters', and uncheck ac3, mpeg-1 audio, mpeg-2 audio, mp3, etc. close mpc, rerun it, try playing a file.

which ffdshow are you using?
