Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1

I'm sure MPC is all its cracked up to be, Ive heard many good reviews. My problem is..A Staples tech, installed a DVD burner. replaced the ArcSoft softwere because of glitches and replaced it with Nero vision. I still use the ArcSoft video converter after downloading FLV with ant.com. I have MPC as my defult but I cant convert my FLV to MP3 or any other format except wmv. My converter says "cannot finish, no FLV codec is installed on your pc". I know it has the K-lite and Quicktime though I'm not sure they both run together with MPC. I downloaded an FLV codec that did nothing but hide in a lost temp file. So befor I call another tech and risk my pc in becoming a Frankinstine can anyone give me tips of what I may be doing or not doing right. As of late every youtube video I play pauses and I just installed more memory should this play a part.

Cant get MPC 6.4.9.1 other than Home Cinema to associate files in Vistaids. Home Cinema is to demanding on mediocre pc's, old pc's, and most laptops.
If I go into options>format and press "video" they're checked but they don't hold.

for all those who are yelling in support of media player classic ...try vlc its gr8 and if you arent satisfied yet...then the ultimate answer to all video players is KL PLAYER..it just plays everythin wch even vlc refuses to play..nedds no codecs found it awesome...fantabulous

When will there be a MPC file position slider that is STANDARD in ALL the OTHER PLAYERS?

This is the only thing that keeps me from using this player as default. I need to review audio files fast and by position.

=zz=.

This 6.4.9.1 is not a guliverkli version. That's why some of you are experiencing problems with 6.4.9.1 and not 6.4.9.0. Something is fishy about this. MPC is still my fav overall video player, and I'll stick to the guliverkli version.

not supported flv files always say to search flv codec where, can anybody help

Bicubic not work with card supportting Pixel Shader 2.0.
But the offical 6.4.9.0 works.

Anyway to run MPC 6.4.9.0 with aero glass?

When opening MPC glass is shut OFF and Vista "basic" is turned on.

Like the small footprint
BUT

Cuts off first few seconds of some wma files

Can't even play some downloaded wma due to "rendering" issues

Can't save play list - also really miss being able to click & drag files to play list

Link to homepage in Help goes to some generic place-holder site

It all started when I tried to get the repeat forever and the balance controls on the audio playback options page to work. Well, well after tinkering for a while unsuccessfully the streaming audio died with the 'Failed to render file" message,

I had no problem with my previous version Real Alternative v1.11 but with Real Alternative v1.49 I'm facing plenty of issues. I'm running win98se and just in case the latest Media Player Classic 6.4.9.0 was xp based I downloaded the identical version for win98 with similar results. Any ideas?

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 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.

Clean, simple ... and a security risk.

Windows Media Player has a couple of switches that MPC does not -- the ability to *stop* media files from running scripting.

What with unscrupulous people embedding URL calls to websites into movie files now, I cannot justify allowing the install of MPC.

I have downloaded .rm files from the Dismuke website and get the following message when I try to play them with version 6.4.8.4

These numbers produce nothing when I search for stuff.

Any ideas?
