Overview
This brief article is intended to give new users an introduction to MC and how to use it.
Import
MC uses an internal database (library) to keep track of your files. It doesn't matter where the files are stored but MC needs to locate them and analyze them to build the library. This can be automatic or manual. You can set which folders to watch or exclude and which file types to import. See Import.
Your machine will be busy during import, so things may seem a little slow. This will change when the import finishes.
Audio Configuration
Under Tools/Options/Audio, you can set the sound device you wish to use, the Audio Output Modes, and other options. Start with DirectSound, but once that's working well, consider switching to ASIO or WASAPI for better quality.
If you use a USB DAC (Digital Analog Convertor), please visit the wiki topic on DAC Settings.
For more details, please see Audio Playback Options.
Video Configuration
Please take a quick look at Red October to learn how MC uses a special DirectShow configuration system to automatically get the filters you need. Choose Red October Standard to begin. Once you're sure that works well, you can try Red October HQ. ROHQ requires a fairly powerful PC.
