Title: Updated from 17.0.46 to 17.0.71, crashes with .mkv [Solved by using Red October]
Post by: yoshi_1 on January 24, 2012, 01:17:31 pm: Hi, I try to have the latest stable version of MC17 running on my system. Lately, upgrading to 17.0.68, and later on 17.0.71, I have problems playing .mkv files. 17.0.46 is the last version that I'm sure worked without flaws, and I then reinstalled this version. No problems playing .mkv after reinstallation to 17.0.46. Any suggestions to what actions I should take?

Yes, I'm using Red October with additional filters (FFDShow and DirectVobSub). This combination has worked until recently builds of MC.

Post by: fitbrit on January 25, 2012, 03:08:11 pm: Is there a particular reason you need those filters? The native MC handling of subtitles is supposed to be the best. Can you try it with standard and HQ Red October without additional filters first?

Post by: yoshi_1 on January 25, 2012, 03:49:11 pm: Thank you for your replies. I've been using FFDShow to delay the video due to a convolution process in ConvolverVST to achieve lipsync. I'll try to disable both additional filters, and run Red October std, and see what happens.

Yes.

Options -> Video -> Advanced -> A/V Sync Correction

I think it can even use negative numbers, though I'm not sure about that.

Someone in the Convolution thread posted a nice comparison "feature chart" (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=68828.msg466079#msg466079) between MC's Convolution engine and Convolver that's pretty eye opening.

Post by: yoshi_1 on January 26, 2012, 03:04:05 pm: Uninstalling all codecs and running Red October std solved the issue. Runnning 17.0.75 and everything is working fine. Thanks a lot:-)
