Hi all

After reading about how great this is, I downloaded the latest version from a site with loads of Russian text, as per some instructions I read from bledd.

I did this because VLC was causing some stuttering when seeking and generally didn't play nice on the second screen.

Since playing with MPC, I'm unimpressed, because the following problems have occurred:

- subtitles options in the menus are greyed out
- screen turns black when I shift the video to the second screen
- screen turns black when I pause the file and restart it

Now I'm sure some of this is down to configuration / video drivers / overlay settings, etc. etc. but I really don't care about any of that, since VLC works fine but for slow seek in HD .avi files.

Second question: I want my PC to be upscaling AVI files...what is the best video combination of all the (very confusing) settings to select for highest quality viewing in Shark007 / Klite / the actual player? Is there a guide anywhere as I want to make sure I'm selecting the optimal settings.

OS is Win7 x64, MPC version is 2099 x86, other bits are as per sig. Many thanks!
 
Ok thanks I'll try uninstalling everything and cleaning it all out, then reinstalling MPC. However since upgrading my GPU drivers and installing the latest version of VLC, the slow HD seeking in VLC has been resolved.

I read somewhere that VLC doesn't do hardware decoding as well as MPC i.e. offload to GPU - is this true?
