I just use VLC regardless of what anyone says because I have yet to find a codec it doesn't support and it's on every OS I've tried.

I think that his problem is something about 31:01/29:22
>>
>>55471130
Probably something to do with the 23fps rate as well. My bet is that the frame rate is variable and the Length property is a calculation of frames from average frame rate while the actual position/length time comes from the decoder taking into account the variable frame rate.
>>

Anime is made at 23 fps you idiot. Especially movies.

No, anime is made at 24fps.

You got that one codec pack, right?
>>
>>55471210
>23fps rate as well
23.976fps is standard and if the windows file properties has rounded that down to 23 not up to 24 then a 29:22 video (42246 ish frames) would be miss reported as 31:01 long. MPC is right, the codec that is reporting the frame rate to windows file manager is at fault for concating at the full stop not rounding.
>>
>>55471399
VLC properly reports the length at 31 minutes, nice try. MPC is shit.
>>55471312
Yes, it's MPC-HC.
>>
>>55471433
Trusting VLCrap 31:01 is clearly wrong as nothing uses 23fps ever. Try another Media player, it will also report the correct length as 29:22

That's incorrect though. The directors cut episode is 5 minutes 13 seconds longer than the original and episodes are close to 24 minutes, not 26 minutes.

Basically you downloaded a shit encode.

You are better off downloading the latest MPC-HC nightly, the latest madVR and the latest XySubFilter.

MPC-HC + MadVR + XYsubs masterace here.

VLC is shit. It can't even get it's fucking black levels right and is so limited in features it's barely worth contemplating for an anime and movie buff.
>>
>>55471592
That's correct you dingus. Windows rounds it to 23. MPC-HC shows the correct FPS of 23.976FPS which is the movie to TV standard.
>>
>>55471616
Yeah, that was my point. Waiting for OP to come and admit he was mistaken for trusting windows.

>>55471603
Black levels is actually a fault of the default output renderer on Windows. I think it uses something something 7 or something something 9 which will have the same problem if you use it in MPC-HC. The problem is that it is the default renderer for some shitty reason when there are better options available to it.

But it still can't use EVR or madVR so it's shit.
>>
Ok, assume you have your vlc and you have your mpc-hc, both fully pimped out to include everything they need to be at the top of their game (i.e. madvr, splitters and filters, etc.)

Is there a single person who would unironically pick VLC? Why the hell is it still around? For fucks sake, there are and have been preconfigured click-to-download packages for MPC-HC that include everything you need for the best playback and people STILL choose VLC. WHY? WHAT AM I MISSING?

It is marketed at the lazy and tech illiterate and has been pushed that way for so long that it keeps its success by word of mouth from those said people.

It took me ages to wean my brother off VLC. He swore by it too until I showed him how shit it was.
>>
>>55471482
Nowadays it's all 23.976 due to the use of 50hz electrical power across north America. the full 24 fps used to be used in 60hz countries as it shares factors, this resulted in TV shows an films being show at 25fps in the US and having a comparatively shorter runtime (an hour long show would be 57:36) and that was causing confusion. 23.976 became a compromise between the two standards where the timing is only slightly out on each +-0.2%.
>>
>>55471694
It hasn't been officially updated in so long that someone had to come and make an unofficial version. Even that is out of date as madVR is now on 0.90.21.
For the average user that clicks and just downloads what is on the first page then you will be out of date by by about a year+.

Because none of it is 1.0.0 or more behind.

I hope you are trolling in saying that you need a full 1.0.0 increase for it to be significant. Especially since version increments can be pretty arbitrary.

People havent been shown avisynth which is fucking amazing. Plus vlc has the whole "just werks" crowd conglomeration because people actually believe mpc-hc doesn't work out of the box. The benefit is that you can actually use shit like madvr, ffdshow, hardware acceleration, avisynth, etc. It doesnt actually need it, but God damn you'll never settle for less once you have it.

Sad thing is I know someone who's an audiophile and at least was using fucking vlc. Seriously, who wastes money on expensive audio equipment, but then can't be bothered to watch their videos with superior free software?

Well I'll admit it has been a long time since I stuck a frequency counter in an AC socket but the last time I did it I read 60Hz not 50. I'm pretty sure the US was in North America at the time.

You do realize OP that the details tab in Windows is often wrong because the data in there is generated using Windows Media Player right? The codecs in it are not exactly up to date.

chances are what you're seeing for play time in MPC (Or VLC for that matter) is the REAL play time.

Don't use the details tab in Windows 7 or 8 for videos.
