Install ONLY 1 Codec Pack in your system !!!!

I install K-Lite Mega COdec Pack , it comes with MPC-HC

I also install KMPLayer [ Internal COdecs ]

And also VLC [ Internal COdecs ]

Plays every file format for me

What format is it? Try renaming to -
dhinkchika.mp4

 

[gameranand]

Change the format of the video. I guess mediacoder will detect this format and if not then I guess its not a media file at all because mediacoder nearly detects every possible format.

Guys, what's the optimal setting for postprocessing in ffdshow. somehow I am getting grainier video with ffdshow and smoother video if i play on gomplayer internal decoders or Mac OSX Perian- quicktime.

Somehow same video isn't smooth with ffdshow+media player classis. any optimal setting for ffdshow filter ?

 

[gameranand]

Try tweaking post processing strength to the point where you find it comfortable. For me its 50%.

Is it hardware problem or software problem?

I am not able to see movies having size greater than 4.5Gb with the latest VLC Player...I dont know the exact reason why it is so? no synchronisation between audio and video....

Try alternate players
1 Gom player
Download GOM Player 2.1.33.5071 - FileHippo.com
2 Quick time
Apple - QuickTime - Download

Btw are they Hd files? If they are I am afraid you probably wont be able to play them properly. Your hardware is bit outdated.

My experience with the VLC media player shows that it shows the video on low quality, darkish and when you play the same video on windows media player or media player classic, the video appears bright and better quality. Also the option to increase audio above 100 and 200% is not good for your speakers and it overrides the capacity of the amplifier of the speakers and many of my friends has their speakers gone bad both laptops and external because of this. So i would highly recommend Media player classic.

All you need is

Shark007.net - Windows 7 Codecs - WMP12 Codecs

 

[apurvgupta1]

^^I am using the same codecs. My experience was with the same only.

Well if you play media files in VLC with 100% volume and minor tweaking for your taste then its the best player I have used so far.
