#MEDIA PLAYER CLASIC PLAYS AT HALF SPEED HOW TO#
I tried looking for DirectX runtimes but all I could find was a SDK "directx_aug2009_redist.exe".I’ve been asked the other day by a colleague how to play a video clip in slow motion and if it’s possible to save the slow-motion version of it, because he got a copy of video that was extracted from a surveillance camera but was saved in a fast-forward mode.Īnd here is what I did, thought to just share with you in case you have the same need.

I tried installing the drivers from ATI, but like I said, those just simply broke all DirectX and 3D rendering. Truth be told, their drivers page is slightly confusing, two "service packs" of drivers were listed with completely different version numbers that didn't seem to correspond to each other. I did, I went to the site of my motherboard's manufacturer and downloaded the latest (latest being 2002 or 2004 or so.) versions of their motherboard chipset and audio drivers (that was all they had), the BIOS was already at it's latest, I checked in the BIOS settings and its set to 4x speed, I also enabled Fast Writes, it was disabled by default for some reason.

Yeah, some very very low resolution and bitrate videos play ok, but anything that isn't postage stamp sized does not.Īgain, I would like to stress that these videos played fine before when MPC:HC was set to VMR9 Renderless before I upgraded from Win2k to XP before you just blame it on my old system and say that there is nothing I can do.įirst install your motherboard's chipset drivers to make sure the AGP port is working at its proper speed you need to install the latest video card drivers because the Windows update ones are always dated and too basic. I don't like VLC and it can't play some of my videos, which is why I want to use MPC:HC instead.Īlso, all the videos are of various different codecs and containers, so it dosen't seem like it could be a codec problem. I tried installing the drivers from ATI's site, but that caused directx8 and directx9 tests to fail in dxdiag for some reason with the error "out of memory". I am also using the drivers provided by Windows Update, don't know if that matters. MPC:HC shows clear 100% cpu usage, even in overlay mixer mode, VLC uses about 33% for the same videos. barely, but this disables subtitles and a slew of other features. I found that it only plays decently if I set it to Overlay Mixer. I have MPC:HC set to VMR9 renderless, which is what I was using before. Any ideas what could be causing this? Or how I can try to find out what is causing it? And how I can FIX it? Why then does VLC play videos just fine, but MPC:HC is choking on many videos that I encoded on this very system and played perfectly fine years ago? They played in MPC/MPC:HC just fine before I upgraded to XP.

I did a clean install of XP, and installed realplayer alternative, quicktime alternative, the latest Media Player Classic Home Cinema, ffdshow, Haali's splitter, and Koepi's Xvid binaries (for encoding only).Įssentially, this should mean ffdshow is handling all of my MPC:HC codecs right?Īnd VLC uses it's internal version of the same decoder that ffdshow uses right? I recently upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, my 2k install was a mess, years old, tons of junkware and glitched files, dozens of codecs, misconfigured codecs, codecs that failed to install, etc etc etc.

Yes I know my computer is old, but the thing is these videos played just fine before!
