As far as I know, MPC-HC doesn't play archived files. You should find another player for that task, or you should previously unpack the files.
[off-topc]Anyway, i wonder what the next request will be. A 'time-travel based' player to see the next year blockbusters?[/off-topc]

Looking at getting an ASrock 330 and installing W7/XBMC/MPC-HC.
Currently I have the Popcorn Hour media player which is very good at setting the correct refresh on my TV based on the video source. So sets the TV to 24 for blu ray, 50 for PAL etc.
How is this achieved using MPC-HC with XBMC?
Thanks

I love using xbmc its menus are great, and i love using mpc to play the vids. But when i launch mpc from xbmc, having xbmc behind it always causes mpc to occassionally tear and/or judder.
Does anyone else find this? Is it possible to minimise xbmc while mpc takes front and centre? -Id be interested to know if this fixes the problem.
thanks all.

and it didn't work for me at least. so instead of tearing my hair out i figured i'd ask to see if "H264" was even a defined attribute.

could you help me out then? I would really really appreciate it if you could type me out how to do this step by step. Rather than just post a link.
Thanks in advance.

I tried what the wiki said about the plarercorefactory file and it seems to do nothing.. This is what I did and put it in the appropriate folder which is userdata right?
This is what I put.
<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="MPC-HC" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="true" video="true">
<filename>C:\Program Files\MPC HomeCinema\mpc-hc64.exe</filename>
<args>/fullscreen /close "{1}"</args>
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>
</player>
</players>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="mkv" filename=".*720p.*" player="MPC-HC"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>
But how do I tell if it is actually using a external player?
