Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1 reviews

Great little update. I love the "add to playlist" option for the open file dialog. For DVDs using less CPU power, I use DScaler5 on my 900mhz pIII system, and it works just fine.

The Real test of MPC is it's ability to play DVDds and so far I am not impressed. It works just about OK on my system with XP Pro but on Windows 98SE it is a failure. The MPC that comes with Real Alternative just creates visual jibberish when you try to play DVDs. Using the MPC v6.4.8.9 optimised for Windows 98 it does actually play DVDs but there is a peculiar effect of movement speeding up and slowing down. I have tried the various options in the Direct show video output, but to no avail. On XP movement is not entirely smooth but just about acceptable. MPC on XP uses 85% of CPU resources.

This could be a consequence of my hardware, ie a 1.2Ghz Via C3 processor and a GA-60XTA m/b with 133Mhz bus speed.

Does anyone know of another option for playing DVDs without buying a DVD decoder? What about Stinkey's MPEG2 decoder?

mpc can save 4 types of playlist;
mpc's own playlist, *.pls, *.asx, *.m3u.

I converted some file with virtualdub . Some famous player can't play "converted files" but Media classic player can .Oh ! surprising !
I think that disadvantage of Media-classic-player is that it can't make play-list . If Media-classic-player can make play-list and manage them efficiently , I will always use Media-classic-palyer :)
thanks !

Very good. You can fix the errors on opening a file bug by selecting mpc to play all your videos. The bug is caused by filenames that have spaces in them so you can either fix by
1) setting mmc to play all videos (works but who knows why) or 2) fixing all your filenames to get rid of spaces.

Does anyone else have problems screen capturing in MPC? I get like "GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 80004001" errors. This was a .rm file.

Thank you in advance. :)

Are there any Visualisation-Plug-ins for MPC?

I'm sooo glad that the MPC programmers fixed the streaming issue with MPC 6.4.9.0!! Great
media player!!

Don't work capture to disk in 6.4.8.9
File size stay 0 MB all capture time and disappear after stop of capture.
Version 6.4.8.7 is OK.

MPC v6.4.8.9 cannot handle URLs(http://..., mms://...) whether open from 'Favorites' or enter under 'File Open' menu. It returns error message, "File not Found". That's a bummer. Previous versions handle URLs flawlessly.

I really like this player, but unfortunately it still can't handle matroska subchapters correctly, which is a show-stopper for me.

MPC is still the best free allround Videoplayer but the KM-Player comes very close and looks better (Winamp 5 alike)

Is there a possibility of getting ALAC support in MPC?

I can't get the new version to play wmv files at all. Reinstalled all wmv codecs from Microsoft including direct x update as well as other video codecs and still canΓÇÖt get it to play these files. It does play all other file formats. Incidentally my video files used to have media classic icon now they have windows9 icon. Does anyone have any ideas on this?
