Terrible playback for 1080p Videos

[adamadekat]

Hi,

Whenever I play a 1080p movie file, some parts of the video are perfect, but others are completely unwatchable (any videos up to and including 720p are fine). Sometimes the audio will go out of sync with the video or the video will look pixelated. I use Media Player Classic to play my movies. I've also tried VLC Player and PowerDVD, but those don't fix the problems. I think it has something to do with my video/audio codecs. Can you guys point me in the way of some good, up-to-date codecs? Thanks.

Sounds like the movie in question isn't being hardware accelerated. If it's something like an MKV file you'd need to make sure it's selected in the internal filters option inside MPC, and that you have EVR set inside the output menu.

First of.. Grab the latest MPC-HC if you havent.

I also don't recommend DXVA if your CPU is powerful enough (which it is). Its still not 100% stable and its kinda hit or miss if it works.
