mkv format files. Matroska or MKV is an ever growing popular format for videos that has great compression whilst not losing any quality. What’s more interesting is that Xbox One can play. We’re guessing Microsoft forgot to update its Windows’ library in the heat of the launch of the Xbox One.Ĭheck out the image below (courtesy of Xbox One works well even if it is not certified so not that of an issue. Ironically however, if you connect Xbox One with the Windows OS, it connects and works but shows that Xbox One is not a Windows certified device. Dubbed by Microsoft as the one-solution to all entertainment device, Xbox One does do a good job of bringing everything one place.

When you go into the jungle you simply take your normal knife with you, because you don't see yourself needing anything else.Xbox One if the next-generation console by Microsoft. No one wants to think about if he has the proper framework installed before installing some small utility.Ī Windows with as few programs as possible doesn't equal a good Windows.Ī Windows that handles everything you throw at it with ease, no matter the situation, without running stuff when it's not needed is a good Windows. Getting such a flexible system with that little effort and weight is simply a godsend.

Even if you don't use it as your primary videofilter, it is the best fallback in the world.Īnd to say this once again: CCCP installs MPC-HC AND ffdshow and is the best video-playback solution out there, because in the end it let's the users choose instead of forcing them into a "one player and nothing else"-situation. Your system doesn't lose anything, but gains everything.Īnd believe it or not, even if someone uses MPC all the time, maybe a specific file causes a problem within MPC, or somebody wants to use player X because of a specific feature. Instead of telling me all the time that nobody should install it, you should rather tell me why not. You can't tell me that in this day and age of terabyte harddisks and gigabyte memory that you rather save 10MB instead of not having to worry about your systems general ability to handle any current form of media. It's not a permanently running process, it is simply there when called, but otherwise it takes nothing more than those 10MB on your harddrive. This isn't 1992 where you have to edit your autoexec.bat to save as much as possible of those 640k. Just installing MPC-HC won't give you that. And you get other benefits like thumbnails in explorer and more. People usually use their PCs for more than just opening MPC, and I can tell you they will be very happy if some program that tries to play/access/convert a mediafile through directshow will actually play it instead of an error-message. I'm sorry, but that way of thinking is obsolete.īy installing something like ffdshow just about ANY modern windows-program can decode any sort of video or audio.
