A filter and renderer refresh. The whole pack now runs the same MPC Video Renderer build that MPC-HC ships internally, so there is only ever one renderer on disk.
- All 34 MPC-BE splitters, decoders and readers updated to 1.9.1.76
- MPC Video Renderer updated to 0.10.8.2587
- MPC-HC updated to 2.8.2 in the full build
- The pack and the bundled player no longer install two different MPC Video Renderer versions
- Upgrading now removes the previous version instead of leaving it on disk. Earlier releases installed into a folder named after the version, so each upgrade left the old one behind with a working uninstaller that could remove the current install
- Installs to
Program Files\X Codec Pack rather than a per-version folder, so there is one install and one uninstaller
