Windows MPC-BE player and LAV filters, Windows mpv build #027



MPC-HC (Home Cinema) is my favorite media player, development was halted , on the project homepage mpc-hc.org its writen v1.7.13 is released and farewell, dated July 16, 2017. After that a new project was started named Media Player Classic - Black Edition, hosted at sourceforge mpc-be .
Unlike MPC-HC, it doesn't come with LAV filters at the moment I am writing this, so here are the steps to setup Media Player Classic - Black Edition with LAV filters:

download and install LAV Filters from : LAV-Filters

open MPC-BE, go to View > Options > External Filters > Add Filter...


Add both filters and choose Prefer, load a video, go to Play > Filters >  LAV Video Decoder(repeat for LAV Audio decoder)  and to make things easy tick Enable  System Tray Icon
