Thread: Codecs and Players

  1. #41
    Here's a couple suggestions for the codecs:

    -replace Matroska Pack with just Matroska Splitter since it can also handle OGM
    -take off OggDs because you have Matroska Splitter, and FFDShow can decode Vorbis
    -here's a better link for FFDShow: link

    The only things I have installed are FFDShow, VSFilter, Matroska Splitter and AC3 Filter. I let FFDShow decode pretty much everything, including MP3. But of course, if I need to encode stuff, the actual codecs are required.

    But for newbs, FFDShow might be hard to configure since it has so many options. I personally can't live without the sharpening filter.

    I have the CCCP and it's working great me, very simple to install and use.

    my favorite that i have found is klite full codec pack, which includes my baby.... windows media player classic. I have been using for over a year and no problems at all, whereas i was having some kind of issues before with vlc..

    Just a little help here.
    Most of the time, when there's a traveling in a anime, the image gets a little jerky. I mean the traveling is not smooth at all.
    I have latest CCP installed, all codecs removed before that last installation.
    If I try the same video files with zoom player, vls, WMP, MPC or any player the result is the same.
    I run a P4 3.6Ghz with 1Gb of RAM under XP.
    Maybe the problem is just coming from the encode and/or original material, but I doubt it.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    heey, i didn't know this thread was here. i've been having a problem for a little while too.

    about three months ago, i decided to upgrade my video card from the generic intel one to a nvidia 6200 pci-e card. before this, all my videos worked fine on wmp 10. after this, the colours on my avis were completely distorted. i uninstalled everything i had, one by one, and the problem went away when i uninstalled ffdshow. i then read somewhere that nvidia cards and ffdshow interfere with each other when interlacing video, but no one had a working solution. the problem is, before nvidia, i relied on ffdshow for pretty much all my decoding needs, and it worked perfectly. now, i've got divx, xvid, .ogg, and .mkv codecs installed separately, and some of my videos still don't work right in wmp (they work fine in vlc, though, so i know the problem's with the codecs). i've tried several codec packs, including CCCP, but none of them work. i've also tried installing wmp 11, and using gspot, but they haven't helped. i miss ffdshow, and want to get my videos working right in wmp. any suggestions?

    Have you tried either of the players that come with CCCP (Media Player Classic & zoomplayer? Also are you 100% sure you don't have any extraneous programs that might come with filters or codecs that you might have missed? I had a problem a while ago where Nero installed a bunch of codecs that interfered with a random sampling of xvid avis.

    Under Deinterlacing, I only have Kernel Deinterlacing which meaning would let me think it's hardware. Am I in the wrong menu?

    well, you're using cccp, so i don't know what menu it would be for yours. however, the fact that the same thing happens no matter which player you use, especially vlc and mpc which use their own codecs, makes me think that it's not a codec problem you're having. it could be the original source or the encode, but if it happens with every avi you try to play, then it may also be your video card. what kind of video card do you have?

    7600GT from gigabyte.

    I'll have to be more careful wether it happens everytime or not. In fact it's not a great deal, just that some shows, or sometimes one ep in a show, get a lot of travelings, and then it becomes a problem.

    None of the stuff in FFDShow is hardware-related.

    Little update.
    Changed my comp, built one. For now I have a cheap E2160 CPU waiting for a E8500 to be available.
    It seems the jerkyness in travelings disapeared almost entirely when I didn't even do a full windows install, only a quick repair.

    So the question:
    Do any of you know of a good media center solution under windows? I tried MediaPortal, Domotix and others... but all have their problems/glitches/format incompatibilities.

    Mediaportal didn"t work because it needs WMP9 and WMP9 doesn't want to install no matter how clean I tried to get rid of traces of WMP10 and 11. Plus I don't know if I want a mediacenter working with WMP (and a old one at that)

    I was wondering if some media center use MPC as their player, for compatibility sake, and also because I'm used to it.

    thanks

    Been using Zoom player and http://www.cole2k.net/

    It's been years and I am bringing this back.

    I'm having trouble with my videos. I'm having artifacts with Media Player Classic running lastest CCCP. Artifacts that are absent when playing with VLC.

    I hate VLC, I want my Media Player classic to play smoothly again.

    Any help or links to free up to date packs ?

    If you need help, you have to give precise details.
    First, try to get media info and paste results for files with artifacts.
    Mediainfo should be now embedded in MPC, right click and properties when playing the file.

    Second, when playing the file in MPC, right click and tell us which filters are used by MPC.

    Third, no codec pack are needed in 99% of cases, and the remaining 1% can be solved by downloading the filters needed, installing them yourself, telling MPC how to use them.

    Sounds very much like the issue of a player not handling 10-bit encodes. The easiest way to solve that would indeed be to first get rid of the whole pack, then install just MPC-HC, Haali splitter, and LAV filters, and set the video decoding to the LAV external filter. Output to EVR curstom pres. or something similar. Though I'm not 100% certain the Haali is even needed, might not be since MPC has its own splitter anyway.

    I've reinstalled cleanly MPC and CoreAvc but now, for some weird reason, the image is flipped upside down.

    EDIT : ( I'm still having issues, not sure why I've used the past tense)
    Nevertheles I was having issues with this file for example
    Running EVR Custom Pres and Haali Splitter when playing suck mkv file

    CoreAVC doesn't support all profiles. 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 aren't supported for example. Do the things I sent you in the PM and you shouldn't have any problems playing anything.
