The fact that you are experiencing issues with an experimental player is not strange, it is expected.
Please try a version MPC-HC from Shark007.net - Tools for Windows 7 codecs and see if you have the same results.

Is see that your codec pack will automatically remove AC3Filter, Haali splitter and ffdshow, does it install these back(newer versions?)? Because these filters are essential to me.

It removes these with good reason.

To avoid conflicts because it does install each of them itself and the Settings Interface needs them to be installed by the package to be able to control them. The interface is self aware and is designed so that if for example, a user chooses to disable AC3Filter, it needs to enable FFDshow to take up the slack for the formats previously handled by that filter. Such settings adjustments are prevelent throughout the settings application.

I can suggest to you, open the x64 Settings Application, select FFDshow on the righthand side of the H264 TAB and also go to the SWAP TAB and select FFDshow for everything there except WVC1 and MPEG2. These suggestions will probably correct any poor playback you are currently experiencing.

A couple of handy suggestions:
M2TS files that play without audio, on the SWAP TAB, choose to disable Windows Media Foundation.
And one more for x64 users. Playback of Standalone FLAC audio files in x64 MC. On the Config TAB of the x64 Application, choose to toggle the WMP to x64 and back to 32bit will permanenly enable x64 MC to play standalone FLAC audio.

So, should I be using the x64 WMP as default? You suggest to change the x64 settings but I'm using the default x32 WMP.

No. Leave the 32bit WMP set as default, but do toggle to x64 player as enabled and then set it back to 32bit because this action will setup standalone flac audio in Media Center. 32bit codecs are your best option right now but Media Center is x64 only on your system so I made those suggestions to get you started in the right direction.

Thanks for the clarification.

As an aside, should this video rendering problem affect when I view pictures as well? It seems to when I zoom in on some pictures, it is pixelated like the videos are rather than smoothed edges like it should be.

There is no corelation between video viewing and picture viewing as far as codecs are concerned.
You're asking something that is beyond the scope of my product.

Gotcha.

I download the movie "Night At The Museum Battle Of The Smithsonian 2009 BDRip H264 AAC-SecretMyth (Kingdom-Release)" and the subtitles not loaded. I think it´s because the H264 codec. What o have to do on the configs to fix it??? The file type is MP4. The others movies AVI, the subtitles are good.

I have some questions...

My system is Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I am only using the default 32-bit player of WMP and MCE. Still, do I need to install your x64 codecs? My main problem is subtitle is not working in WMP nor MCE that's why I downloaded MPC-Home Cinema from your tools and the subtitle (.srt) works. What I want to know is, what are work-around so that subtitles (.srt) will work in WMP and MCE? By the way, I am using CoreAVC as my default H.264 codecs.

Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Looking forward for the CoreAVC v.2.0 x64 released so that we can fully enjoy/utilize the benefit of 64-bit computing. Thanks.

I'm also using Sharks packs with CoreAVC Pro codec for processing H.264 video (with MPC-HC as the player). Most of the stuff I watch these days is H264 MP4s. Once you get used to good HD rips on a good monitor, it's very hard to go back and watch regular AVI's.

I'm also looking forward to the impending release of CoreAVC v.2.0. That's the only thing that's holding me back from using the x64 version of MPC-HC.
