File won't play or has no sound or has no video or looks bad

  • Check the DirectShow settings for the file type in MC Options/Playback/Video/DirectShow. If it is checked, uncheck the filetype for playback in DirectShow. Or vice versa.
  • Under DirectShow settings, try changing the Video Renderer used.
  • Also see problems caused by other hardware and software in our Wiki topic called "Weird and wonderful (crashes, memory, stability,...)"
  • If MC can't open the file with DirectShow, it may be imported as the wrong media type. This can be edited in the tag for the file.

DirectShow a complete mystery?

  • Please read the DirectShow Guide on this wiki.
  • Consider installing CCCP.
  • Some DirectShow filters don't work.
  • If you're having trouble, try playing the file with Windows Media Player. WMP uses DirectShow and results will be identical IF the filters used are the same.
