Windows 10: movie player with GOOD dialog settings (modern movies - Mix is poor)

Hi here

while VLC plays just about everything you can throw at it (and it's cheap --i.e FREE) I find when watching modern movies the audio mix is just appalling -- effects are humungously LOUD whilst the dialog is often at a very low level -- same problem I have in the Cinema which is why I rarely go any more unless I'm watching classic older films.

I've often fiddled around with the equalizer on VLC with limited success -- seems for movies - especially action films released after about 1995 I'm forced to use the subtitles to stop myself from going Deaf du to the huge variation in volume between the effects / music and dialog.

Any players that can possibly do a better than than VLC of correcting te Audio mix and enhancing Dialog while fading excessive sound / music effects. VLC though is pretty good usually.

Older films seem to work perfectly -- was watching a classic re-run of the old pre 1940 version of Hunchback of Notre Dame -- dialog was perfectly audible.

Have Sound Engineers just lost the plot these days -- I'd love an evening to the cinema but fear for my ears these days.

Cheers

Problems with Media Player in Windows 10

Found a Windows 10 version on line and installed it. At this point, I have not found a way to access the Flixster folder to start a movie. Only way you view the movie is through Flixster. The movies are not in the Movie Folder. Flixster hides them.

Contacted VLC forum to see if there is a way to go through VLC and open a movie.

Setting VLC as the default movie player did not work. Opens in Windows Media Player anyway which I had reset as the default. W10 had a different media player set as the standard default within Movies & TV.

 

video is very slow

hello

i have a movie which is 480p and the format is .mkv but in the default video this movie is very sluggish(very slow)

can anyone suggest good video player for this?

 

Hi jimbo,

Try Pot Player available at Global Potplayer.

It plays pretty much everything and sound is good from Sony TV.
