Works like a charm! Now all streaming protocols including livetv correctly use DVDPlayer, and all my library files play to MPC-HC. It's pretty cool of you to put this guide together man. If this was around when I was switching to XBMC it would have saved me a lot of time.
I would like to add also that while sharpen complex 2 looks pretty good, lumasharpen is far superior. I can't notice much difference on the bedroom plasma, but on my living room projector lumasharpen is indispensable. I don't know how to upload attachments to this forum, but a quick google search will find you what you need.
I have a copy of lumasharpen to share, but I don't use shaders:
Save the following as an .hlsl file and move to the shaders folder in MPC-HC. You might also be able to load it from the Shaders section. I find the effect too strong to the point it creates artifacts, but I'm sure that could be adjusted.

LumaSharpen 1.4.1
_____________________
by Christian Cann Schuldt Jensen ~ CeeJay.dk
It blurs the original pixel with the surrounding pixels and then subtracts this blur to sharpen the image.
It does this in luma to avoid color artifacts and allows limiting the maximum sharpning to avoid or lessen halo artifacts.
This is similar to using Unsharp Mask in Photoshop.
Compiles with 3.0
