Video Player

[LilAznAccommodator]

Dear Readers,

I was wondering... After my time with playing different video formats.. finally taken notice to how some video formats play extremely... 'skippy' on Media Player Classic and play smoothly on let's say VLC Player... But in turn some Video formats don't work properly(No Audio) for VLC and for MPC works except it skips around.

Best example that I can give is... .TS
MPC=> Audio plays smoothly, but Video skips/lags
VLC=> USUALLY plays smoothly, and on certain .TS files tehre is no audio but video still plays smoothly.

And I am not too sure if this has anything to do with Codecs... And if so I use K-Lite Mega Codec if that makes any difference...

So I am not too sure as to what my Question is except for... Is there a way I can resolve this Video Skipping/Lagging in MPC? As I want to just stick to one Player (MPC) without needing multiple video players...

And to add.. .TS => HD(1080i) Videos... I am sure you all knew that though haha. Thanks

I think I'll always need VideoLAN.

It could be that te codecs used in windows media player are not the right ones for certain video formats. What you can try to do is uninstalling your recent codecs and install klite codec pack.

I mentioned that I do use KLite Mega Codec Pack =X

I generally stay away from codec packs and only install the minimal of what's needed (that won't play natively with VLC).

it could be an issue with your hardware not being powerful enough to play back the files smoothly.

NOpe as other HD files play smoothly >< haha such a bleh problem.

ehrm... I overlooked that you were using klite codec pack

Sometimes installing too many codecs can get people in trouble because some codecs can interfer with each other. probably you didn't but do not install ALL codecs from klite mega codec pack.

Maybe you can check with the program gspot what codec is needed for the lagging movie and deinstall that codec from klite's codec pack and download another similar one

your cpu or drivers seem to be working because VLC player can play it correctly

Maybe try a later version of windows mediaplayer or even try an early version of it

Well I use Media Player Classic(that came int eh installion of KLite Mega Codec Pack) so I don't know if the version of it makes the difference...

Bahs.

[david02]

installion.... hahahahaha, that looks like a freudian slip

I am not kidding if you think that

you can download gspot from here

http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/gspot260b00.zip

unzip it to a folder, start the program and open the desired movie with it.
It will probably give you the codecs name . If you post it maybe it will help to solve the problem

here is a screenshot.. but the funny thing is.. it does say codec not installed but then when I tried a file that works fine a few also say that... a few are well installed...
