The problem's I've found with VLC over MPC, is that VLC does not support the Windows interface for media control buttons on keyboards.(Rather minor, but when watching something full screen, having a working hardware play/pause button is nice.)
And again, I'm flabberghasted that nobody has ported ffdshow's deband filter to mplayer it's an enormous quality improvement on pretty much every video, and has absolutely no negative impact on level of detail. Unfortunately, smplayer is extremely buggy, and mplayer/smplayer have rather limited support for DVD menus via libdvdnav. Of course, since I'm a Linux user, these days I just use smplayer. Primarily, deband, which I desperately wish somebody would port to mplayer, and the occasional other filter like yadif deinterlacing or perhaps an unsharp mask. I tend to use ffdshow as the default codec in order to use some of the ffdshow filters. This will provide all the codec support that MPC-HC might be missing, since MPC-HC focuses on the mainstream codecs rather than the more esoteric ones. Supported by MPC.ģ) ffdshow-tryouts: This fork of ffdshow is widely regarded as the successor to ffdshow. It does accurate two-pass bicubic scaling, and supports buffering of raw uncompressed data (good for handling CPU spikes).
VLC NOT PLAY FILE TIME STUCK 0 INSTALL
Personally, though, I install three things for media playback:ġ) MPC-HC: eed a player, and this one is great.Ģ) Haali's Splitter: This Matroska (MKV) splitter is better than MPC's own, but I primarily use this to get Haali's Renderer. After all, the author of MPC is the same guy who wrote directvobsub, and MPC can render the subs at native screen-res, which looks quite nice. It also has integrated subtitle support that is superior to directvobsub. MPC-HC has integrated a good deal of libavcodec (same library used in mplayer, ffmpeg/ffdshow, VLC, xine, gstreamer/totem, etc.) Out of the box, MPC-HC should play back virtually anything you throw at it. THANKS.You really shouldn't need any codec downloaders or codec packs. I thought I read somewhere that while running Wasapi you cannot use foobars new built in nifty crossfader, is this correct? Only works with native audio, Wasapi won't let you alter it iirc, maybe someone can correct me. Vlc doesn't run Wasapi so foobar is the clear winner by a mile here, and if it did, would probably still have the pauses in between tracks, no idea why foobar seems to have a patent on not having a pause in between tracks, but vlc sucks for live music cd's because of the pauses. Isn't there some other settings like putting it at 48k and 24bit, even though it's a cd, to allow for breathing room for the dac? I'll have to study my benchmark dac wiki again for foobar. For years I used bass boost on my pmc-aml1's, but I just took off all the dsp's that came with the speaker, I am running it clean for the first time in years, there is tons of bass now, no need. So I played the same 30 secs of music with Vlc and Foobar with Wasapi over and over again, and actually the bottom end is the music, it's not distortion. At first I thought maybe I had screwed something up, I couldn't believe all the new bottom end I was hearing, I was thinking maybe I was hearing distortion. I finally put in the Wasapi component and changed the output (Please use the PUSH option for your speaker output or it might not sound right, at least for me). I also have been under the impression that foobar was much darker in it's sound, and missing a ton of middle end, muddy, etc. Hi there, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this thread. What should I be looking for to improve Foobar's performance so that VLC doesn't embarass it?!?!
I know people rate Foobar as their preferred means of playback so it must be something amiss at my end (either that or you should all try VLC and hear for yourselves!? ). I'm using Vista (I know, I know, I know.) on an Acer laptop hard wired over homeplugs and outputting over toslink to DAC, if that helps to narrow down any suggestions, but as the replay chain is the same for both packages I'm not sure that's where the problem lies. I checked again with some high bit rate MP3s (320) and some FLAC files and the same result - Foobar dull and flat, VLC dynamic, rich and musical. I wouldn't say I'm an expert on either program but I did check quickly to make sure there wasn't any DSP or equalisation being applied with either package. It was not a subtle difference either - Foobar is quieter (no big problem that), but also the dynamics are sucked out of it. Problem is that it's highlighted that playback from Foobar is inferior to the sound from VLC. I've been using Foobar for a few months and so closed VLC and opened Foobar as I prefer the interface. I was listening to the Linn Jazz radio thingy yesterday and for some reason the.
