OT: MPC-HC puzzling playback glitch

terrypin wrote on 8/22/2013, 4:57 AM

I wasted an hour or two trying to isolate a problem with an MP4 that I'd exported from MEP 2013 Premium before discovering that it was apparently down to Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC), not MEP.

The video plays perfectly in other players such as WMP, VLC, BS Player and KMPlayer. But in MPC-HC there is one very brief flawed section.

I've rendered 14 seconds of my project which shows this glitch at around the 10 s point. Here's that 46 MB file:

Anyone have any thoughts on what might be happening here please?

I changed my MP4 association on this XP PC some months ago from VLC to MPC-HC. I'm reluctant to reverse that as overall I'm happier with MPC-HC. But during an editing project I don't really want to have to re-check all my exports in two players.

Hi John,

 

Not sure what's happening there. Works OK from other apps. 

Try this, which worked the several times I tried it.:

Hi Terry

Puzzling   

It plays OK in everything I have (WMP, AVS player, Nero player, VLC) except for MPC-HC where it freezes at 10 seconds.

GSpot and MediaInfo say the file is OK.

A search of the Internet shows this is a common problem with MPC-HC.

Thanks John. I'm discussing it in the MPC-HC forum too.
