Video lag
Hey guys, I've been having video lag when trying to watch shows with MPC lately, it happens during some OP's and ED's or in places with heavy typesetting. I have a AMD Phenom X4 9750 Quad-Core Processor and 8 GB ram, so I don't think that's the problem. I never go above 50% CPU usage even with bit torrent running. I think it could be my graphics card, I have a ATI Radeon HD 3650, but I wanted to ask before I bought a new one. Would reformatting do anything to help? I'm not very computer savvy so any information/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Typesettings can put lots of strain on the CPU and because filters like vsfilter aren't properly Multi-Threaded you can't just look at the CPU usage over all cores to be sure it's not your CPU maxing out.
You could try to use a different subtitle renderer, or tweak the one you're using at the moment: i.e.: reduce resolution, enable/disable animation, enable/disable buffering etc. |

I'm not really familiar with CCCP, but does it use the internal or external renderer? I.e. do you get the "green arrow" tray icon when playing a file or not? Try to go into its setting and see if you can try enabling or disabling the buffer. If you don't have the tray icon you're using the internal renderer (in MPC-HC options: "playback" -> "Auto-load subtitles"), which can also be tweaked (from within MPC-HC). Results differ for different systems and versions.
If the sub is too demanding no matter the setting, you can try completely different renderers: 1.) ffdshow's internal subtitle renderer (doesn't have all the features, but basic ASS support is there) 2.) VLC (people will hate me for suggesting it, but its subtitle engine is way faster than vsfilter - VLC does have other problems, though) |

It's really not the fault of your PC - it's just that some groups go overboard with the subtitle effects and vsfilter is awfully designed. |

another alternative since you got a good CPU is to re-encode your videos to hardsub as hardsubbing means the subs is thoroughly part of the video and does not need any subtitle rendering software like vsfilter |

If only certain typesetters out there realized that just because it runs fine on their monster of a CPU it doesn't mean it'll run on a mid-range CPU... and I wouldn't even call the X4 9750 "mid-range", either. |

Hey guys, I downloaded mplayer and it works great. I have a problem with the seek function though. Whenever I try to skip to a certain time in the show, it always goes to what seems to be chapters. Is there a way to fix this? Like I can try to jump to 11:31 in a video and it goes to 5:52.
EDIT: Never mind, seems like this can't be changed. Thanks again for all the help Last edited by Sep; 2011-05-08 at 22:40. |
