Required software:
- DirectX 9.0c End-User Runtime June 2010– offline installation (recommended) or online installer. Installation is required for proper operation video player MPC-HC and is necessary in any Windows versions, up to Windows 10, despite the fact that this version already has DirectX 12.0. If DirectX 9.0c is already installed on your computer (for example, with some games, and on Steam it is installed automatically), then you do not need to download it again.
- Platform Update for Windows 7 SP1- download . For Windows users 7 this package must be installed to use DirectX 11 features in the madVR video renderer (discussed below).
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4. For users Windows Vista and a newer one most likely will not be needed. Mandatory for Windows XP.
- Media player MPC-HC
- Video renderer madVR
Step 1 — Installing MPC-HC and madVR
Download and install the MPC-HC media player.
Step 3 - Setting up LAV Splitter Source and LAV Audio Decoder
To access the LAV Splitter Source settings, launch any video file using MPC-HC and pause. After that, click in the video area right click mouse and select “Filters->LAV Splitter Source (internal)”.
Set the values as shown in the figure. Click the "Apply" button to save the settings, and then the "OK" button.
To access the LAV Audio Decoder settings, launch any video file using MPC-HC and pause. After that, right-click in the video area and select “Filters->LAV Audio Decoder (internal)”.
In the “Bitstreaming” section (the setting is necessary only in case of output digital audio S/PDIF, HDMI; in other cases, there is no need to mark anything here) when selecting DTS-HD, you do not need to check the “Use DTS-HD Framing for all DTS types” option if your receiver does not need it.
Then go to the “Mixing” tab and check the “Enable Mixing” option. Select required configuration audio in the “Output Speaker Configuration” item. For example, if you have a regular pair of speakers, then select the “Stereo” configuration. Click the "Apply" button to save the settings, and then the "OK" button.
In this manual we will look in detail K-Lite setup Mega Codec Pack - the most popular codec package. Experienced users will find this material useless, but beginners often have problems installing this kit.
Download the codec pack K-lite Mega Codec Pack from the official website. Install the codec package, closing all programs. In the first installer launch window, click Next. In the next window, check Advanced Mode (All options are shown)— Advanced mode (all options are shown). Click Next again.
The main window will appear in front of you with settings K-Lite programs Mega Codec Pack. From the top drop down menu select Profile 7: Lots of stuff- most full installation. Most often, users leave the settings “as is”, but you can also change the settings to suit yourself, in which case the profile name in top line will change to Custom Selection. The default settings are well optimized, so whether to change anything in them or not is up to you, I’ll just explain some of the nuances. Please note that when selecting settings, the recommended ones come first.
Attention! Also in the profile selection menu you will see the inscription (without player) - (without player). If you select a profile with this name, then you do not agree to the installation of the Media Player Classic player and will use the player installed on the system. It's up to you to decide, but I recommend it for video playback.
When choosing the option with a player, you will be offered two editions of the famous Media Player Classic(Regular - Normal) and (Home Cinema - Home Cinema). I prefer to use the second option accordingly.
What filters to use in K-Lite Mega Codec Pack
Now let's move on to considering the proposed filters for playing media files. To make it clearer for you:
Filter is a media decoder used for video decoding, supporting many video and audio formats. IN currently most popular filters - ffdshow And LAV.
Just the same, the second subsection after selecting the player will be DirectShow video decoding filters - DirectShow video decoding filters (DirectShow is an interface for implementing these filters in Windows environment). To use all kinds of video standards (eg H.264), K-Lite Mega Codec offers several options.
I won't go into detailed comparison filters used, at your discretion you can use both ffdshow and LAV, both projects are worthy of choice.
I'm a supporter LAV Filters and I will list them advantages, but also disadvantages :
- Large set of video decoders, high quality.
- Based on ffmpeg, like the ffdshow filter, but unlike ffdshow, multithreading is implemented.
- Includes own development the author of a CUDA decoder for Nvidia video cards.
- Supports exotic profiles Hi10P, Mpeg 4:2:2, etc.
- Bitstream support. TrueHD and DTS-HD support.
Flaws:
- Inferior to ffdshow in the absence of post-process filters.
- It is advisable to use for not too heavy video files; for FullHD video use DXVA decoders.
In chapter DirectShow audio decoding filters sets of filters responsible for audio decoding are presented. I recommend using LAV or ffdshow.
Utility for switching audio tracks
In addition to a set of filters for each video and audio format, you need to select splitter ( in subsection DirectShow source filters), which divides the stream of information received from the container it supports (the most common containers are *mkv, *m2ts, *ts and of course *avi), into video, audio and subtitles, which are transmitted to the corresponding decoders. The splitter allows you to select the audio track and subtitles for playback. It is important to immediately understand that not all splitters work equally well with decoders. This is one of the main reasons why you will have to think about your choice. I can recommend you Haali Splitter or LAV Splitter.
You can leave all other parameters as default. Click Next, a window will appear asking you to select a folder for the location, click again Next. In the next window Select Additional Tasks(Choice additional tasks) options for the components you select will be displayed, so their complete composition may vary.
Important points in the additional tasks window:
- Reset all settings to their defaults — the settings of all components will be reset to the recommended ones (the option is relevant when updating the codec package).
- Additional shortcuts— additional shortcuts, for Media Player Classic on the desktop (Desktop) and/or on the panel quick launch(QuickLaunch) and a shortcut for the Codec Tweak tool.
ffdshow configuration (ffdshow filter settings)
- Hide systray icons- hide system icons, when playing a video file, ffdshow works, and icons appear in the system tray providing fast access to its settings. By checking the box, you will disable the display of icons.
- Restrict usage to whitelisted applications- in ffdshow there is " White list» applications compatible with this filter, respectively, there is also a “black list”. By checking the box, ffdshow will only be able to use programs from the “white list”.
- Force RGB32 output— when this option is activated, ffdshow will output video in the RGB32 color space. This is necessary to configure color display, but this option loads the processor.
- Volume normalization— volume normalization, this option is useful if the volume level is very low. But I advise you to check the box in the settings of the Media Player Classic player (the option is described below).
Haali Media Splitter configuration (Haali splitter settings)
- Hide system icon- hide system icon in tray. Check the box to switch between audio streams and subtitle languages from the tray without going into the player menu.
Media Player Classic configuration
- Video renderer— I advise you to choose the EVR or madVR renderer.
Renderer (or renderer) is a program that renders (obtains an image).
- Use internal subtitle renderer— use the built-in renderer for subtitles. Configuration is required to use hardware acceleration.
DirectX Video Acceleration(abbreviated DXVA) - an interface designed for video decoding by a video card processor.
- Use high rendering resolution- includes high definition subtitles.
- Enable internal MPEG-2 decoder— use internal MPEG-2 decoder. For example, you are satisfied with the decoder in an already installed third-party player.
- Volume normalization— sound normalization.
- Install language files for MPC—install language files to enable desired language, you need to go to the bookmark View - Language.
Tweaks
- — allows you to select static, animated and animated with buffered subtitles.
There may be more items in this window, depending on the settings. If you have any questions, write in the comments. Now press the button Next and go to the Hardware Acceleration window . You will need to select filters for the H.264 and VC-1 standards. For owners NVIDIA video cards select LAV Video - NVIDIA CUVID in both items (models older than 8800GT), for users ATI video cards— LAV Video DXVA2 native (models starting from the HD series). We set None only if neither CPU, nor the video card support hardware video acceleration. Other options must be selected depending on your PC configuration and codec package settings. Good feedback has ffdshow DXVA Decoder, and a lot depends on the combination: the renderer used and the HD video processing filter.
In the next window, you can select the software player with which you would like to associate your media files, that is, which player to play.
Click Next, check the boxes next to the required multimedia format for each player selected in the previous window. Click again Next and select your speaker configuration.
Click again Next, the window will display the configuration you selected for installation. Click Install, wait for the package to install. After installation, you will be asked to check the boxes for those filters that you can customize at your discretion. Click Finish.
P.S. Check the functionality of your player. If you have any problems, write in the comments below.

Hello everyone, friends! Today I will help you set up 5.1 surround sound, like in home theater(and maybe not only at home...).
Not pseudo-quadra and not expanding the sound base by mixing an adjacent channel into the phasing.
Namely, so that each soundtrack the file had its own column in the room.
This article will help us set up 5.1 sound.
By default, the player, or rather the codec, has such a setting that the sound on the receiver from the computer is only in the front channels: left and right.
It's time to expand your horizons!
By 5.1 we mean the following system:
C- center channel (it is more often used for voice)
S.W.— subwoofer channel (so that it hits the floor, and more powerfully, for the joy of the neighbors)
FL— far front left
FR- far front right
SL— far rear left (located behind the listener on the left)
S.R.— far rear right (located behind the listener on the right)
You need to get an amplifier (receiver) that will support the connection of 6 speakers, and that each has a separate input and a separate output.
Also, the sound card on the computer must support such a connection. 
If there are fewer outputs, you will have to purchase an additional sound card 
The green connector is usually the main one by default. The speakers are connected to it: left and right front.
Orange combines the center speaker and subwoofer.
Black are the rear speakers, which are in the back.
Gray is for 7.1 (plus 2 more columns for our still life).
To begin with, let's set the sound card to 5.1 (no, well, you can do 7.1 if the equipment allows it).
I show the example of sound Realtek cards. Although, the interface is not much different in older versions. However, the new one is more convenient and beautiful. 
To the right of the drop-down list there is a Play button. It allows you to check how each column works individually.
We will set it up using the example of the Classic player, which is part of the K-lite Codec Pack.
And no need to say that:
- This is a codec dump (especially for people who edit videos), I will say this: if your hands are straight, then the programs will work to your advantage.
- It is impossible to get 5.1 in the Classic player, since only 2 speakers work. Everything is possible, 5.1 and even more: squeeze out all 17 channels at the same time, if your equipment allows it. Only in the case of 17 speakers, you will be hung with them and wires.
Let's launch the video file in the Classic player. Let's go to the settings and make sure that the sound is sent to the desired sound card (for me it is number 15 "Realtek Speakers"): 
Is there sound? In all columns? No? We go to the tray, there are icons of the codecs with which the player works: 
You need to open LAV. 
Let's uncheck the "Mixer" box. It is usually set by default for 2-channel sound cards, however, we have already gone further, breaking stereotypes and restrictions!
Applying the changes. If the sound does not appear in all speakers, then select 5.1 from the drop-down list and apply it again.
That's it, the sound MUST be in all the necessary speakers.
If this is not the case, check the equipment, restart the player, or see if the video file has ended? =))
