Windows 10 can't play mkv properly Empty Windows 10 can't play mkv properly

Post by rjmk Sun Jan 22, 2017 11:11 pm

I have installed the latest version of K-Lite Codec pack (standard).
I have a problem with plaing a mkv video file.
It plays nicely on MPC-HC but playes terrible on WMP and BestPlayer.
The video and audio are completely out of sync. The audio plays correctlly but the video run too fast.
What is more the video on BestPlayer, while displaying subtitles, flickers and displays artifacts.
The flickering is not present when I disable subtitles but out-of-snc problem is still there.
I am using Lenovo IdeaPad 700 with Intel and NVidia graphic cards running Wiindows 10.

I have tried applying tweaks from this page http://www.codecguide.com/configuration_tips.htm?version=1280 but it didn't help at all.

Right-click on the file and select MediaInfo. Copy the details here, so I can see what kind of audio and video the file contains.

I don't have any experience with BestPlayer, so lets focus on WMP first. Do you see the white (= LAV Splitter), red (LAV Video), and blue (LAV Audio) icons during playback? They are in the notification area (right-bottom corner of screen).

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager. What is the CPU usage during playback in WMP?

If the above does not fix it:
Codec Tweak Tool > Generate Log

Copy it here, so I can see which audio driver you have, and if there any third party codecs installed. Playback speed issues are usually audio related.

Is the video just a little bit too fast, or a lot, like double speed?

If the problem only occurs with this specific file, then you could try remuxing it with MkvToolNix.

The log is clean.

Ok, I can confirm that the file was bad.
And the solution to the flickering subtitles in BestPlayer was to change video renderer from Enhaced Video Renderer (EVR) to Video Mixing Renderer 9 (VMR-9). Any idea why?

I have never used BestPlayer, so I can't give a good answer to that.

I tried this and my subtitles did come back. So is there a reason why disabling these two tweaks would fix this? Would I need to do this for every update from now on?

WMP uses its own codecs by default for most things, and those codecs have some limitations. These tweaks forces WMP to fall back to using other codecs, which work better in case of the K-Lite Codec Pack.

You need to apply the tweaks just once. These settings are kept when updating the pack. Only when uninstalling the pack you will be asked if you want to revert back to the default settings of Windows.

These tweaks are only needed for WMP.
