Mine no problems, not slow
Speed is comparable or even faster than Overlay mixer, vmr9 to me is useless

I don't really need to post benchmarks, I see through the CPU usage, overlay mixer eats a bit more, quality not much of a difference so why need overlay mixer....the rendering speed differ is too minimal

VMR9, although it is said to give out the best quality, not really much of a difference it can make....

well, u can set it to YV12 if u want~~its all through the settings

If I am not using ffdshow, I can set the colorspaces in the respective Dshow codecs installed then in my comp plus all videos now using YV12 colorspace, so the decoder will automatically set the respective colorspaces like in Mplayer, don't have to set anything.

I didn't test ur file, I test with other files

Legend : Total means the time spent in the decoder, real includes reading, splitting, decoding, and display, along with any color conversions that happen along the way, so it benchmarks the entire playback chain. (With null renderer, it benches the splitting+decoder only.) The fps and dfps are based on the total and real time respectively.

1st File = FNF TD mp4 720p AVC 23.976fps
Decoder = CoreAVC

Overlay Mixer = total: 26s, real: 55s, fps: 115.0, dfps: 55.4
VMR 7 = total: 3s, real: 52s, fps: 774.1, dfps: 58.6
VMR 9 = total: 3s, real: 46s, fps: 799.5, dfps: 65.7

The above, VMR wins being VMR 9 the fastest but with the most CPU usage .

2nd file = Ichigo 100% PS2 OP AVI XVID 640x448 29.97fps
Decoder = ffdshow

Overlay Mixer = total: 41s, real: 43s, fps: 62.9, dfps: 60.1
VMR 7 = total: 7s, real: 43s, fps: 351.4, dfps: 60.1
VMR 9 = total: 8s, real: 21s, fps: 317.6, dfps: 120.1

As usual, VMR 9 wins again but with higher CPU usage.

So for my setup, VMR 7 = system default is more than enough

You say which 1 perform better mah, it can be quality wise and decoding wise
So thats why I posted the benchmark above XD
Video renderer quality, sure VMR 9 wins...but not much of a difference in my monitor, just that it is brighter and sharper due to the added 3D rendering of bicubic ....but the CPU usage is the problem only

High chances it is in AC3. Like what keyz suggested, raise the main volume of it. If its like normal mp3/vorbis/aac, normalise the audio or apply some gain to it

Whatever u set in AC3Filter will remain.....

what audio type is encoded into the container?

what u need for MPC is CoreAVC

no worries on that, glad that your problem has been solved

Even in the latest K-lite mega codec pack has it

K-lite mega codec's CoreAVC inclusion is also version 1.3.0.0 pro = not trial but full working version

So the 1 you downloaded from the website is the full working version. Enjoy with it. Even an old GF 4 MX 440 with CoreAVC can watch 720p videos flawless with a P4 2.4 Ghz. So sicne ur notebook is using ATI X1400 and I assume your notebook's processor is also quite good, then it shouldn't be a problem at all, enjoy your h264 videos in 720p and maybe 1080p without any lag

looks like it is

have u updated ur codecs?

if play DVD, u can use MPC's in-built MPEG2 decoder already

What is the file type that lags? Video codec used?

AFAIK I don't have problems with K-lite codec packs

just install the quicktime alternative that comes with the K-lite codec pack

Download Real Alternative

CoreAVC is the way to go, fastest software decoder for H264
