A problem with "Open" menu context - affects one particular program

Fortitude said:

I installed Potplayer and I'll use it as an alternative to VLC. As for madVR I can never understand how to use it. I tried in the past to use it, but I never got to see where the the settings are for this program. I cannot understand if I have to run an executable or I have to see the settings in my media player.

FYI:
VLC --really good tool for repairing corrupt video files (mp4 etc)

You'll need to download madVR and unzip it somewhere safe (you can't delete the folder later);run Install.bat as an administrator; run madHcCtrl.exe to access your settings.You will see the icon in the system tray. Right click for settings.

Then set as video renderer in your video player.

Where did you get it from? I always get it here:

Download Potplayer 32-bit 1.7.21212 for Windows - Filehippo.com

And not direct from the manufacturer's site.

False positve detection by Microsoft:

VirusTotal report for PotPlayer

Go figure.

MPC-BE with MadVR:

Then ReClock for audio renderer:

The manufacturer's site version might contain adware or offers that need to be declined on install.

The version I scanned on VirusTotal is the one from FileHippo.

It scans clean with everything on my machine including:

Comodo, Zemana antimalware pro, Nano AV,Ultra Adware Killer, Malwarebyres Adwcleaner.

If your security software doesn't like it then I suppose that you can't use it until they fix their virus definitions database.

RE: MadVR.

Here's how it's installed:

FYI. MadVR works fine on default settings but can be tweaked.

As far as i can work out the installer "might" come bundled with an offer.

You could try this. Let me download it and scan it:

PotPlayer Portable 1.7.21212 adfree (without Adware) Download

For that portable version - 3 False positives:

VirusTotal

There's nothing wrong with the one you downloaded. It's just a false positive detection by Microsoft.
