4 pages of instructions for bug fixes. Not a single word about how to uninstall. Concise comprehensive and ... BROKEN. Claim to fame is deleting your codecs? "Clean" codecs can be uninstalled but not Advanced Codecs. Software that can't be uninstalled are typically Viruses. Even Microsoft lets you uninstall windows software.
Stay off my computer. Send this broken software to the russians. And no, you are not getting any donations from me.

Too many updates based on micro-updates usually MPC BE nightlies
Suggest make a base update based on main components and do incremental smaller updates :)

This uses LAV filters 0.70.2.79 which does not solve the problem of the LAV SPLITTER (which was broken since 0.70.2.00-- manifested by glitching video problems with loading ordered chapters in MKVs and there is a media swich)
If you insist using it, go to LAV SPLITTER SETTINGS and uncheck the "Unload Matroska Segments" from external files..
