Just want to thank whoever wrote the FAQ for Media Player Classic from the bottom of my heart

This one: https://codecguide.com/faq_mpc.htm
I was trying to play a very, very old file; 2006 or 7. MPC was spitting out a media_stream error, and I got super scared since this is part of a collection I've scoured the internet for for a long time, and finally found. Turns out I just had to enable the internal avi splitter for MPC. Couldn't be happier. Thanks.
