Never Change A Running System

[Klappstuhl]

Hey guys, I need help fixing my MPC player settings or more. Would usually ask my friend for technical stuff, but he's far out in Japan until September, so he can't do jack to help right now. I'm trying to figure this out myself now, but need assistance.

Apparently I tried out a Wireless VGA stick, and it seems to have messed everything up. It's called the Vianect Devolo (DO NOT BUY), and it's crap. The software it came with messed up all my settings, or codecs, whatever it is, and video playback above 720p now stutters like a b***h.

I'll post the video details here so we might find a crossreference to what exactly is wrong.

Need to find where I can extract a list of all my settings so I can actually show you a status of the MPC settings, where do I find that?

I have MPC with Shark007's Codecs x64 and reinstalled DivX, to no avail, DXVA does not show up under external filters, do not know if it is important.

EDIT: Deinstalled Codec & MPC, reinstalled MPC-HC x64 1.6.5.6366 (744df1c) & Shark007 Codecs x32 & x64 v3.9.7

The previous video works now, the next one doesn't. I don't understand my PC anymore.

While playing the video in MPC right click on the player window and hover over Filters. That will show you what filters are being used to play the video. Selecting a filter will bring up a dialog box where you may be able to change options.

In MPC select View -> Options -> Internal Filters. Enable or disable Source Filters or Transform Filters as necessary.

Also check View -> Options -> Playback -> Output. Try the different DirectShow renders. Especially the EVR renderers.

If you're not using MPCHC you should switch to that. It's much more up to date.
