1) You can reset setting by deleting the MPC registry key: HKCU\Software\Gabest.
2/3) Those apply only to MPC-HC, not to regular MPC. So you are asking in the wrong topic.

Even just applying patches is really great sometimes (like celtic_druid was used to do that for ffdshow and other apps and many users in the world were greatly benefited). Those patch-works might be trivial for you, but not trivial at all for average users, really useful and helpful. Well, actually I'm talking more about VSFilter than about MPC itself, but I guess basically they're the same thing from your perspective of view.

Just wanted you to know how much I'm thanking you!

I second this:

Thanks to you, clsid!

MPC's internal OGG splitter is just for Vorbis audio intended, it cannot process OGG Theora videos like this one for instance, right?

[clsid]

It also works for video files. For example .ogm files with Xvid video. But it does not support Theora. That is why the internal splitter is disabled by default. I recommend using Haali Media Splitter.

Thanks for the clarification!
FYI, I found an alternative to Haali's splitter:
http://www.xiph.org/dshow/

[clsid]

I know about that filter. It has been around for a long time. I prefer Haali.

@fastplayer
Those files were old... originally developed by a person known as illiminable many years ago, even before Theora specs were finalized, I think. It seems that the original developer stopped development. (FYI illiminable was one of the first developers (or maybe the very first developer) who used the extensions .ogv and .oga, now official, but totally unofficial back then.)

Yet another way to watch Ogg Theora on Windows would be this thing...

...but I bet you don't like RealPlayer and you'd probably prefer VLC if you had to use a non-DirectShow way.

@Liisachan:
Thanks for the insider info!
I could not get the DS filters from xiph.org to work anyway. I tried it in a VM and the VM's video driver does not output in YV12 colorspace which the Theora decoder depends on (Haali's splitter+ffdshow's Theora don't complain). The package comes with splitter and decoder but there's no way to select only the splitter during setup...
Regarding RealPlayer: Yeah, that's a safe bet!

@clsid:
I joined the Haali club!

Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) reports a security issue with MPC 6.4.9.1 in advanced mode. They consider MPC as "end-of-life" because of the version number detected.

For future builds, would it be possible to change the version number to something like 6.4.9.86 (aka SVN revision 86)? Thanks a lot.

[clsid]

That security issue was fixed long ago. Does PSI stop complaining if you change the version to 6.4.9.2 (or higher) with a resource editor or hex editor?

@Amour
Anyway, you can exclude MPC from the scan in secunia.
Just put it on the whitelist.

Here are my test results, with MPC 2008-11-15 (SVN revision 86):
6.9.9.9 : end-of-life (Media Player Classic 6.x)
7.0.0.1 : PSI crash (file ignored / not recognized)

Secunia PSI version: 1.0.0.1

[Amour]

I made a request to Secunia:
http://secunia.com/community/forum/thread/show/818

I still think we should get past this 6.9.4.1 version number because it has lost all possible meaning. We should go up either one step (6.9.4.86) or two steps (6.9.86) or three steps (6.86).

Too bad on sourceforge the guliverkli project is considered "active", and the guliverkli2 project is considered "inactive", when it should be the opposite for better clarification about which one is the most secured version.

I notified them (PSI) about that a month ago. This was their reply:

Media Player Classic is detected as end-of-life because it is no longer
being maintained by its original creator. Other people have taken up the
project of maintaining the program under the same name, but technically
speaking, the program they now offer is not the original Media Player
Classic. That is why it is detected as end-of-life.

[Liisachan]

How silly. I wonder if they don't know what open-source means. Technically speaking, VSFilter's original creator was not gabest, Avery Lee's subtitler, right?
Or, MKV is not its original project that is um... what was that again? TCF?
Or, how about libpng itself for example? Or many other examples...
Even if guliverkli was stalled, guliverkli2 is not. That's why we now have this cute {\blur} thing for example. and {\iclip} etc.
Personally I would hate to use any software created by someone who says such stupid things. Because their very philosophy is essentially wrong,
what their program would tell you would be fundamentally wrong. Like, just checking the version number string... and saying it's ok or bad,
easily fooled by for example a tampered troy that says it's up-to-date, fooled easily even by a noob-est attacker.
