--- Quote from: kureshii on September 12, 2009, 03:36:15 PM ---I used to use ZoomPlayer Home MAX, but just switched to MPC-HC today. There was only one reason for the switch, but it was a good enough reason to motivate me: custom shader support. It's probably not a concern for most people, but I have a wide-gamut PVA LCD which results in oversaturated reds. Imagine flesh tones looking like they have a lightbulb underneath making it extra glowy (put a torchlight under your hand if you don't get what I mean).
My colour calibrator finally arrived today, so with the help of this thread I managed to create a custom shader that pulls video colours back into sRGB space. Sadly, video players do not have colour management support yet, so this is pretty much the only way I can watch my videos with normal colours.
This can be done with a custom filter in ffmpeg too AFAIK, but since I'm using CoreAVC (running on a laptop with IGP so there's no way I can DXVA/vdpau/CUDA) that's not an option for me.
Took some time to set up keyboard shortcuts in MPC-HC, but now I'm quite pleased with it. I still miss some things about Zoom Player though, mainly UI-related changes and features, and certain aspects of presentation.
Actually, I don't really care which media players CCCP bundles with it (I wouldn't mind if they removed both either), since I got both Zoom Player and MPC-HC from other sources.

Never understood what Shaders were, I think I do now from your explanation.
Klocknov:
so yeah I found that it has fixed a few errors I was having with my sound drivers over on Zoom Player on MPC, so you know what it was well worth the change, I have been fighting and finding temporary fixes (by temporary I mean codec by codec fixes) and with MPC after re-installing the codecs I have yet to run into any of those problems. So yay no more playing with the back bones of the audio codecs... Also I have noticed bit smoother play (may be that I'm back to CCCP from K-Lite though since K-Lite is more just a mass collection of codecs...). Also I will say I have fallen in love with CoreAVC, I now can quite lovingly watch HD anime on this computer with no skips!

i use haali media splitter with the default 8mb and it works fine with all my videos, including the 1080p and 720p
i use k-lite mega codec pack personally and the 64-bit k-lite codec pack

It doesn't for me. I can't give any solid reason but I had to increase the buffer. It works like a charm.
I tried this shader thing, keeps saying that I don't have it or something. Oh well.
Sosseres:
Just installed this over a ~3 month old CCCP beta release and this worked better for my test file. Much fewer frame drops than the previous version had.
