tain Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 MPC will play most anything as long as you have the right filters installed. That just happens to be one of the projects I am working on But, no, MPC doesn't require WMP6 or any particular codec in order to work...it depends on what type of stream you are decoding.

tain Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Both, actually:1) A MPC addon that associates files properly even if IE/mplayer have been removed.2) FFDShow Filterpack to replace larger codec packs3) A few other HFSLIP-specific surprises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROBLEMCHYLD Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 since we on the topic i notice mpc don't support windows movie maker can u add support for this format in the filterpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Are you referring to this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloa...oviemaker2.mspxIf so, that seems to be a standalone application vor video creation. It will probably give you at least a few options for what type of video to output...that is where you will choose the codec type to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyp Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) Search the HFSLIP forums for application replacement and slisptream codecs. Detailed instructions are there to do what you want to do (e.g. replace mplayer2 with mplayerc as well as slipstream 95% of the codecs that you'll need).Tain - Are you sure that you want to do the ffdshow codec? Isn't it a bit resource hungry. I tried it and wasn't too impressed. Edited March 16, 2006 by tommyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 @tommyp: I am still evaluating different solutions but that is my current favorite. ffdshow on its own can play *most* bitstreams out there...and there are direct show filters to enable the rest...except for qt & real, of course. They are a real pain.The ffdshow solution requires far less diskspace and eliminates lots of codec confusion. Hadn't really thought about the resource usage...will have to look into it and perhaps find ways to tweak up a good default installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) Personally, I'm not using ffdshow either. It breaks everything... litterally. I get hiccups so often that it spoils the fun in listening to music. I tried it on both a "manually installed" Win2K system and an HFSLIPped Win2K system -- no difference.I use K-Lite Mega 1.50 now with the bare minimum: XVID, DIVX, 3IVX, MPEG4, OGG, Real & QT. Coupled with the regular WMP6 and WMP9 codecs, that gets me all I ever need. I still get breaks at times in DIVX movies but they are kept at a minimum because I disable post-processing and smooth playback. MP3 files are usually fine now that I don't install ffdshow, MP3, AC3 and ON2 filters/codecs. Edited March 16, 2006 by Tomcat76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I hadn't anticipated so much anti-ffdshow sentiment. I'll disregard that option at this point unless someone else pipes up with good ffdshow info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramy Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) The ffdshow sourceforge alphas(20041012?) don't have nearly as many problems as the new versions, but then you should install Xvid 1.1.0 and other stuff too for newer encoded content.Edit: Missed what I was talking about.
