Media Player Classic Syntax Error Subtitle
The 'Save Image' and 'Save Thumbnails' functions in Media Player Classic give an error: A: Media Player Classic gives error: GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff. The solution is to change the video renderer. A fewof the renderers are not compatible with the image saving functionality of Media Player Classic. The MPC HC (Media Player Classic Home Cinema) stands strong among major media player for Windows. The MPC HC also allows users to download subtitle online from opensubtitles.org and other subtitle downloading website and view subtitle while video is playing using the MPC HC player, but most or sometimes, downloaded subtitle are off sync with the video.
MPC means Media Player Classic (download), it is a little old – latest release is dated to 2006-03-20, but that means nothing. It is still one of the best software players floating around. I will show you in this guide how to download perfectly matched subtitles without opening any website using OpenSubtitles.org ISDb protocol. UPDATE: 2013-05-28: There are still users, who coming to this post and checking the guide. I updated guide (and screenshots) to using MPC-HC (download) – we can say updated MPC, so use MPC-HC instead of MPC. At the start of deciding which hash should be used for matching subtitles with movies on opensubtitles.org, I checked, if there is no hash algo for this. I found in MPC, it supports downloading subtitles from website, so I contacted Gabest – coder of MPC. We changed some mails, he gave me access to download database, and I came to conclusion – OS should use this special hash – not the best one – but there were already some thousands of hashes submitted. Currently opensubtitles.org have more than 94.000 hashes – this was in October 2007. Currently there is almost 1.000.000 hashes (May 2013). Problem with MPC is, no subtitle database currently exists, so no one can use its unique features. I grabbed some MPC source codes, and programmed ISDb support. Let’s see how it works, it is really simple, and if you will setup MPC, you will (almost) never use “normal” searching anymore.
Step 1: Open MPC-HC, press “O” – you will get options window, Find Playback -> Output, change settings to VMR9 (renderless) or VMR7 (renderless) – if you will not change this, Download will be disabled!

Step 2: In options window set in Subtitles -> Database: “www.opensubtitles.org/isdb”, you can test it if you want Download bytefence anti malware pro 2018 full crack.
Step 3: Open some movie (drag and drop or CTRL+O), and click File-> Subtitle Database -> Download
Step 4: Select some subtitle in your language, click to Download & Open
Congratulations – you are watching movie with subtitles!
If no subtitles are available – don’t panic, go to File -> Subtitle Database -> Search – browser will open and maybe it finds something 🙂 If this step fails too, you have to search those subtitles manually – if they exists on website it means they are not “connected” with your movie, so it should be nice, if you upload them again. Maybe you ask how this works – basically it is simple – every movie is connected to subtitle using special hashes (not filenames!). You can help other people, if you will upload subtitles with movie hashes, so other will be able to download them “in fast way”. For the moment it is not possible (and maybe I will never allow this, because I’m afraid there will be many mistakes in uploads) upload subtitles using MPC.
For uploading – and for other cool things – you have to use OSCAR or SubDownloader or just select any program from this incomplete list.

Media Player Classic 6.4.8.8 Change Log
- two pass bicubic shader, bilinear more optimized
- dropped subtitles are loaded instead of opening them
as a media file
- thumbnail image generator
- dsm demuxer can output individual streams into
files (context menu -> demux..), the raw data is
corrected if possible, like subtitles are output
to srt/ssa/vobsub, frame header added to aac, wave
header to pcm, etc.
- better support for quicktime files by the mp4
splitter, more track types are recognized and also
reads zlib compressed headers
- dvd navigator's software dvd region check is disabled
using the detours lib, there is still a hw region
check built in the firmware of the drives, unless it
was flushed with a region free firmware it will still
not work and may cause strange problems like freezing
the player
- the mpeg ts splitter can repack h264 streams in
'mp4 style' packets for decoders so they won't crash
(ffdshow, coreavc)
- 'next aspect ratio preset' command
- yv12/i420 is no longer a disallowed format when
using 'vmr9 (renderless)' as the renderer, holding
the ctrl key when loading a file will still disable
it, the current display drivers should not have that
color conversion bug anymore but just in case..
- vmr9 (renderless) mixer mode available, it allows
deinterlacing and other vmr9 features, off by default
because it is slightly slower
- Haali's video renderer can be directly selected in
the options (subtitling works, shaders don't)
- mpeg decoder sse2 optimizations (most noticable at
hdtv resolution), optional interlaced output, new
'field shifter' deinterlacing mode
- nero's 'vobsub' inside mp4 supported
- clicking another window on a different monitor while
mpc is playing in fullscreen will not restore it to
normal size anymore, if another application grabs the
focus, its name and window title will be displayed on
the status bar of mpc
- graph builder of the filter graph manager was rewritten
(again), let's hope nothing is more broken than it was :)
- new built-in async reader for udf sources, currently
only works with the internal mpeg splitter because
others aren't prepared for constantly growing files,
use the following syntax as the file name:
udp://[
where 'multicastgroupip' is optional and 'mediasubtypeguid'
can be used to specify the subtype of the stream, for
example udp://:1234/{e06d8023-db46-11cf-b4d1-00805f6cbbea}
means transport stream, it will also work fine without
the subtype, just selecting the right splitter will take
a little longer
- the checked state of the 'enable subtitles' menu item
is preserved, this means you can disable subtitling with
the vmrs now without having to turn it off for each newly
opened file
- floating toolbars are saved, next time mpc opens they
will appear floated and at the same position on the desktop
- normalizer/booster was moved to the audio switcher, to
avoid high spikes lowering the volume too much the
normalizer regains 5% per second now
- 'quick open file' menu (similar to vlc's)
- options/filters section was redone a bit, the internal
filters have their own property pages, mpc won't be
controlling them directly anymore
- there is a changelog this time! :)
other fixes:
- random crash when seeking files with mp3 audio streams
and using the internal decoder
- compatibility with the oggds/vorbis decoder restored
(it is a bug in the ogm vorbis decoder btw)
- blank checklist elements in options (external filters
now, overrides before)
- run-time error when loading files with certain unicode
characters in the filename
- unicode id3 tags, byte order of le/be utf-16 tags was
mixed up
- repeated languages loading vobsub subtitles
- dvd angle switching (angle number was off by 1 for many
years lol ;)
- long delay when doing 'seek to keyframe' with the avi
splitter
- fading dvd subpics (~ multiple entries in DCSQT)
bad news:
- resource ids were cleaned up and renumbered, the old
command assignments are lost, sorry.
