I've just update my PC from XP to Windows 7.
If for XBMC only, i've until now see only improvement, on the contrary, for MPC-HC i've only see high regression.
The big one for me is launching MPC-HC from XBMC. Under XP, it worked perfectly, now, it's impossible. Started on his own, MPC-HC play almost fine (i have specific issues, but not the point here), just, nevertheless, there is some files wich still play perfectly fine when i start them from MPC-HC, alone.
When i start these same files wirh MPC-HC from XBMC, it's a total disaster, frames freeze during almost a second, display is corrupted, a total mess !!! As the exact same thing worked perfectly fine under XP, maybe there is some kind of configuration i miss somewhere, but i've no idea what i could be.
Having never used Windows 7 until now doesn't help me either, being sometimes lost in the settings...
If anyone has some clue/information, it will realy help me.
Thanks.

In your playercorefactory.xml make sure you have hidexbmc set to true.

@jpsdr-

Make sure to set playercorefactory as below-

<args>"{1}" /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

Since you are using W7 now, you might want to consider select "High Performance" in W7 control panel power option and consider enable DXVA2 in XBMC system/video/playback...

I'll search, and hope i'll find what this is (in my french version)...

Otherwise, thanks for these suggestions, i'll try them, and report results.
I've just take a look to my playercorefactory, and hidexbmc was to false. This is the 1rst thing i'll try, and probably the cause.

DXVA2 : I've tried only a few seconds, i've found the result not so good, so came back to SW decoding.
Doesn't matter, as i have a good CPU (i7@980).

The codes need to be as below for it to be stable-

<args>"{1}" /close</args>
<hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
<hideconsole>false</hideconsole>
<warpcursor>none</warpcursor>

If you are using Intel i7, you don't need DXVA2 because you have plenty of core power. DXVA2 don't work very well with Intel GPU anyway.....
