  • they can't be serious, right?
    Your PC is old enough to attend high school but it still should be ok with 1080p content. It would definitely struggle with 4K regardless of the bitrate. But in case I might be wrong here is the link. Source: about 1 year ago

    You can try with an other video player like MPC-BE. Source: about 1 year ago

  • 4k short throw Projector
    I use a PC as Source to play 4k Content (via MPC-be https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/) and MadVR (www.madvr.com) for Tone mapping and Image enhancement at >150 inch Screen (4 meter diagonal). Seating distance is 10 feet (3 meter) away (it's awesome - I have a lot of fun and I really like it). The Image looks really sharp, detailed and after some (a lot ^^) of Calibration work it looks really ... Source: about 1 year ago
  • TX-NR7100 switching to multch mode when audio starts playing, no surround or atmos options available
    MPC-BE https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/ fork of it that still gets updates. Source: about 1 year ago
  • UltraWide HDR Video Player Setup Guide 21:9 without blackbars
    The first option is MPC-BE coupled with "MPC Video Renderer" (The renderer can be installed during MPC-BE install, no extra download needed). Click the green download button, open or extract the zip and run the installer (Unfortunately you will have to tell Windows it is okay). Source: about 1 year ago
  • 1993 -> 2023
    The original one yes but there are a couple forks: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/. VLC works great too. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Update? Is there a video player that shows thumbnails of the frame in the video when hovering over the scrolllbar (like in youtube)
    MPC-BE (Media Player Classic - Black Edition) has done it for as long as I remember. It's the player I use. Source: about 1 year ago

  • Panasonic S5 Glitch: All videos randomly "punch in" zooming twice, then punching out once in the first few seconds of every clip.
    Define "pretty powerful PC" :) What graphics card? Is hardware acceleration in VLC enabled? Maybe try another player with included ffmpeg- e.g. https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/ for Windows.. Source: over 1 year ago
  • is it true if I use the Kodi windows app instead of mpc be I'll be able to see hdr on my pc? I don't have a PC powerful enough to use mad VR
    Your best bet to view HDR on a display that doesn't support HDR (with a computer too slow for madVR) is with mpv Or if that doesn't work, then MPC-BE with MPCVR. Source: over 1 year ago
  • What apps are you using on win 11?
    MPC-BE is the current active project: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpcbe/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • LPT: Open VLC and drag a youtube link to it. It'll play in VLC (with all the capabilities of VLC), and it'll skip ads.
    MPC-BE is a better alternative than VLC. It uses hardware acceleration so less CPU overhead, and it has a nice little preview window in the seek bar so you can easily seek to just after the intro or just before the credits or whatever. Source: over 1 year ago
