ZhangRang Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I need some advice, I downloaded some videos that were in MKV format, they opened fine even the HD/Blue ray rips, but now lately whenever I try to open those higher quality files the whole computer crashes when I click open, I dont know what's caused it and it only happens with MPC Star. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Have you installed any codecs or codec packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhangRang Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yes, I believe they came with it. I dont recall installing any codes specifically for tigerplay since this bug has occured, but maybe other codecs cross over and effect this one.

kluelos Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Generally, videos that come with their own special codecs are bad news, and I automatically reject them. They are typically adware at best, sometimes spyware or trojans. Try to uninstall this if you can, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhangRang Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 Would unintstalling and reinstalling MPCStar work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If you downloaded video that came with codecs to install, then your system is infected and needs to be repaired. The software "hijackthis" has a good forum for fixing these problems, but you'd probably be better reformatting your drive and reinstalling windows because they won't be able to help you unless you volunteer a lot more information then your seem able to provide.

ZhangRang Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Codecs came WITH the player when I originally downloaded it is what that means. No other codecs came with these files I'm trying to open, funny thing though, I did try to play it again a few days ago on MPCstar/tigerplayer and it DID in fact work again, but now it's back to refusing to play and instead crashing the entire computer again.

kluelos Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 You'll need to figure out what you changed between the times that it does work, and the times that it doesn't. You should also be looking at the system logs to see if you can spot a reason for the crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
