As for setting up MPC Player to play all video tracks in a file with multiple video tracks, you can try the following steps:
1. Open MPC Player and go to the Options menu.
2. Click on "Playback" and then check the box next to "Auto-load subtitles."
3. Next, go to the "Internal filters" section and look for the "MPC Video Decoder" filter.
4. Click on "MPC Video Decoder" and make sure that "DirectShow Video" is selected under the "Preferred decoders" list.
5. Click on "Apply" and then try playing the video file with multiple video tracks again to see if all tracks are now playing properly.
If some of the video tracks are still stuck on a freeze frame, you may need to check the video file itself to make sure all the video tracks are properly encoded and compatible with MPC Player. You may also need to try adjusting the video renderer settings in MPC Player to see if that helps resolve the issue.
