MPC Raw Video Splitter 1.8.9.25

This lightweight demuxer routes raw video streams to the appropriate decoders for accurate, high-quality preview without processing overhead.

Video professionals working with uncompressed footage from cameras, capture cards, or color grading applications frequently encounter raw video formats that standard media players cannot handle.

MPC Raw Video Splitter bridges this gap by providing native support for YUV, RGB, NV12, Y4M, and other uncompressed video containers commonly generated during professional production workflows.

Supported Raw Video Formats

The filter handles multiple raw video formats including planar and interleaved YUV variants (YUV420, YUV422, YUV444), RGB sequences in various bit depths, NV12 (common in hardware encoders and screen capture applications), and Y4M containers used with tools like AviSynth and FFmpeg.

This broad format support makes it essential for anyone working with unprocessed video data.

DirectShow Integration

MPC Raw Video Splitter integrates seamlessly with MPC-BE and works with any DirectShow-compatible player including MPC-HC, PotPlayer, and Windows Media Player.

For optimal results, pair it with MPC Video Renderer for GPU-accelerated display and LAV Filters for comprehensive codec support across other formats.

Installation is straightforward - download the filter, run the included installer, and restart your media player.

The filter registers automatically with Windows and begins handling raw video files immediately without additional configuration.

Complementary Tools for Video Production

For enhanced multimedia setups, consider adding MPC Audio Splitter for high-fidelity audio formats like FLAC and DTS-HD, DirectVobSub for subtitle rendering, or Matroska Splitter for MKV containers.

Users processing raw video in editing workflows may also benefit from VirtualDub2 for frame-accurate video capture and processing.

Those working with camera-native raw formats should also explore the Raw Image Extension for still image support, Blackmagic RAW for BRAW files, and Apple ProRes RAW for Windows for ProRes RAW workflows.
