I've been using Mc to play my collection of music videos (mpg) along with my (mp3) audio files. This has been work great until I just recently came across a problem or possibly a bug within Mc.
Until just recently I've been playing approximately 5 minutes in length videos all recorded as MPEG-1. I've decided to start recording music mixed videos (about 3 songs in length) averaging anywhere between 12 to 15 minutes in length. When playing these video mixes, I became aware that Mc would start skipping about 2 or 3 times throughout the mix. Not good.......
I tried playing these mixes using other media players and had no problems. I thought, maybe Mc just need more ram then these other players.
At the time I first discovered this problem my system was a Pentium 4 1606 Mhz with 256 of ram. I just recently upgrade my ram and now have 785 (that number puzzles me) thinking this would solve my problem. It didn't So..................
I decided to try using the new feature within Mc (options/Playback/Video) and used Window Media Player engine to play my videos. This worked great. No more skipping..... Hurray!!!!!!!
Now the problem. The audio level is 1/3 of the audio level it was when playing using Mc's engine.
When I play the video using Windows Media Player (ver 9) the audio level is fine.
This is a problem because within Mc, if I mix videos and audios using this feature I will have to manually adjust the audio level down for every mp3 files.
Please.... someone help!
