I am using MPC with ffdshow. I am not sure if MPC/ffdshow can auto detect the format (Pal/NTSC) and play it acordingly with the correct frame rate. I try using reclock and the icon always stay yellow when active (Follow guide in AVS Forum). I set the frame rate in reclock at 30 because i am running 60HZ on my LCD and as i know the frame rate in reclock has to be a equal multiplie of the refresh rate. Is it possible that the problem is due to my dual view setup as i am running the LCD TV as secondary monitor and my CRT as primary running at 75HZ. Do both displays need to be at the same refresh rate for reclock to work properly? I run it with dual view but not clone, so the player only active in 1 monitor at a time. But i do open the file in my primary then drag it to the secondary after the player was lunch though...

Any helps? This thing is confusing me.

If you want to have ffdshow display the frame rate, just go to the ffdshow video decoder configuration, enable OSD and make sure "movie FPS" is selected.

As for video frame rate vs refresh rate on an LCD, don't bother, unless you see skipping and jerking in your video. The video card can handle frame conversions pretty well.

It's only an apparent problem if you're actually doing broadcast where PAL/NTSC are incompatible without proper conversion.

I try the OSD thingy u mention. I have "Decoder FPS" and "Movie FSP" enable at the same time. While "Movie FSP" showing 25 frames/sec, the "Decoder FSP" is hovering around 21.xx to 31 frames/sec rapidly (very fast, like 10 times in a second) and i think by average it was running at 25/sec. So should i be worry about it? Or it should actually stay at 25/sec all the time.

My decoder FPS behaves just like yours, but I'm not worried. The only time you should be worried is when your output flickers very badly, and this can happen with old CRT TV sets (the PAL/NTSC issue).
