Video blinks (black frames?) when not on top (with MPC Video Renderer)

[Faiakes]

This is not happening on every video. It does not happen with EVR-CP.

This is my current setup:

MPC-HC (Nightly, 64-bit)

Try in MPC-BE with internal filters - https://yadi.sk/d/hlf1lfC8mKU58/!_last

[Faiakes]

I tried it and it does it, too. Could it be an Intel driver thing?

[Aleksoid1978]

Enable statistic in options. Then record short video with blinking.

1 - Enable statistics in MPC VR("Show statistics" in options) and record again. 2 - Disable subtitles output.

[Faiakes]

Hi

What do you mean by MPC VR? (also, just MPC-BE?) Did you mean Ctrl+J, to show statistics on the video?

[Aleksoid1978]

In MPC Video Renderer(MPC VR), in options check "Show statistics".

[Faiakes]

I don't see such a check mark anywhere but Ctrl+J works. If that is not right, please provide more detailed instructions how to enable statistics. :) Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n1jxmvk0qfw2omb/Blink2.mp4?dl=0

[Aleksoid1978]

Very strange issue. What's happen if you disable subtitles output ?

[Faiakes]

The issue persists, though less so.

[v0lt]

@Faiakes What subtitle renderer are you using?

[Faiakes]

I don't know. How do you figure that out?

Would the issue be related to the fact that I'm not using MPC-BE but rather MPC within the K-Lite Codec Pack?

[Aleksoid1978]

Show filter list when playback.

[Aleksoid1978]

Also try - uninstall K-Lite Codec Pack then install MPC-HC or MPC-BE with clean install(drop existing settings).

[Faiakes]

Uninstalled K-Lite. MPC-BE + MPC VR works fine.

[Aleksoid1978]

Close issue.
