The player freezes at the beginning of a MPEG-1 video, how can I prevent that from happening?
The MainConcept MPEG decoder may freeze the player when the Overlay Mixer renderer is used. To solve this problem click on the Reset to recommended settings shortcut in the start menu or change the renderer in Media Player Classic. To do this start Media Player Classic and click on View in the top menu, then click on Options… (the last item) and then click on Output (under Playback). There you can find the renderer settings under DirectShow Video.
