o 4o TH, no T, no TrueH &ecause every audio streams are converted to %(

o 2ower uality due to %( conversion

If you want to use H!I or /#IF and ad*ust the framerate of the video to the T" freuency, you must reencode the

audio in %( with -eclock. This reuires to decode the audio, send it to -eclock which will a*ust audio on the new

video framerate and then encode the audio in %( in order to send it via H!I or /#IF. The audio is decoded and

reencoded to %( so there is a loss of uality and you can't &enefit from TrueH, T and TH.

only one !#(H( according to your hardware.

(reate a MPC-HC-Stereodirectory and another one MPC-HC-Surroundwhere you want on your hard drive )eg.

(0B!#(H(B!#(H(tereo+. In these directories extract the archive of !#(H( that you have downloaded.

For MPC-HC-Stereoyou have to rename the executa&le m&c-hc'e(eto m&c-hc-stereo'e(e.

@e will create a shortcut on the desktop &y right clicking on the executa&le of !#(H( )mpchc.exe and mpchc

stereo.exe+ and clicking on C(reate hortcutC. Then *ust cut / paste on the desktop the shortcuts created. !#(H( may

reuire to &e launched as administrator, so right click on the shortcuts and then C#ropertiesC, C%dvancedC and select

4ow let's move on !#(H( configuration. @e will only configure !#(H(urround and we will simply copy thesettings file mpchcsurround.ini which is going to &e created at the end of the configuration in the !#(H(urround

directory and paste it into !#(H(tereo directory.

RESIZE & ASPECT

Kou hae seeral o&tions for scaling the ideo based on the &ower of $our hardware'

First possibility

3ou use avisynth and in this case you do resi;e with it. The scaling with avisynth is that which gives the &est uality.

o you can disa&le the filter C-esi;e J aspectC of ffdshow &y unchecking it. @e will see how to set avisynth in his

section.

Second possibility

1se the filter C-esi;eC of ffdshow and multiply &y .9 the resolution of the video. This is a good compromise &ecause

it allows you to apply the CsharpenC in a resolution not too far from the original. It demands a relatively powerful

graphics card for mad"- to do the final scaling )video resolution A .9 K? resolution of the diffuser Leg. 65:x::M+.

you must resi;e the video directly to the si;e of the diffuser so mad"- doesn't do scaling.

AVISYNTH

Warnin* and e-planations

=his &art is o&tional and is a little bit s&ecial'1se %visynth only if you really want to. The uality is already very

good without it &ut we can go further with %visynth.

%viynth is a frameserverthat allows you to apply advanced filters on the video. 3ou should know that most of these

filters are uite heavy and avisynth is mostly used in encoding where there is no real constraint a&out framerate. For

example, if you encode at : frames per second it's not a pro&lem, it will *ust takes some time. %s we will use it for

video play&ack we have the constrain of real time )eg. 5.678 or more frames per seconed+ and therefore you should

have enough power. %visynth can also &e unsta&le and it can sometimes crash !#(H( when you launch a video.

4ow that you are warned we will see how to use avisynth. @e will use it to do the scaling and sharpening instead of

ffdshow. Indeed %visynth gives the &est result &ecause it can do things impossi&le with ffdshow like video upscaling

K? sharpening K? video downscaling. o, like I said previously in the tutorial, if you use %visynth disa&le )uncheck+

the -esi;e and harpen filters of ffdshow.

3ou have to make a choice &etween C2imitedharpenFasterC, C2F!odC and CFineharpC. These are all sharpens

scripts. C2F!odC is an evolution of C2imitedharpenFasterC that is supposed to &e &etter &ut it reuest more power.

Fineharp is specialised in H and must &e used only for H. 3ou have to choose depending on the power you have.

To use %visynth we need to make some code that we name CcallC. I have made the call with C2imitedharpenFasterC

so if you choose to use C2F!odC or CFineharpC you'll have to copy/paste the code of the call

C2imitedharpenFasterC and replace the line0
