MPC-HC + LAV Filters Readme 2012.08.24 2

install all programs and decoders, remember to find a nice place for madVR to be extracted to where it wont get deleted		*note only install madVR if you have a good dedicated card
open MPC-HC check store settings to .ini file
close mpc-hc
copy the .ini to C:\Program Files (x86)\Media Player Classic - Home Cinema\ and overwrite the file that is there

start up MPC-HC and play a file known to have video, audio, and subs	*you can use the sample video provided
click into the files let it seek there then pause
right click the video and go to filters, madVR, LAV video decoder, DirectVovSub, Lav audio decoder, and LAV Splitter Source
if everything is there your good to start changing the settings

if your outputting your audio to a surround receiver:
right click the video and go to filters, click LAV Audio Decoder
under output formats uncheck both 32bit optins unless your audio card somehow supports it
under bitstreaming check all formats that your receiver supports
under options
check expand mono to stereo and expand 6.1 to 7.1
under the mixing tab make sure enable mixing is unchecked and all seetings are unchecked or set to none
click apply then ok at the bottom

if your outputting audio directly to speakers:
right click the video and go to filters, click LAV Audio Decoder
under output formats uncheck both 32bit optins unless your audio card somehow supports it
under bitstreaming make sure nothing is checked
under options makesure expand mono to stereo and expand 6.1 to 7.1 are unchecked
under the mixing tab
under mixer enable mixing and select speaker config
under settings check dont mix stereo sources and uncheck normalize matrix and clipping protection
under matrix encoding select none
click apply then ok at the bottom

if you have a dedicated GPU:
right click the video and go to filters, click madvr, then Edit Settings
click and expand devices then click your device

on the output formats side change RGB output levels to untouched if using madVR, if using EVR set to TV
click apply then ok at the bottom
	*depending on your GPU you may not be able to use both madVR and CUVID, if you have problems with preformance disable madVR, if you are still having problems contact me for help
