Topic: is DirectX 9 needed for SVP or MPC-BE?

On Windows 8.1, after I format, do I need to manually install DirectX 9 for SVP or MPC-BE or do they work fine with DirectX 11 that's included in Windows 8.1?

I used to always install DirectX 9 as soon as I format but now I am thinking maybe that's not needed?

Re: is DirectX 9 needed for SVP or MPC-BE?

As I know latest MPC-HC is not needed in DX9 (used library included in player's folder). But earlier versions of MPC-HC require DX installed separately over any windows). Anyway you can try to open player without DX installed. You will see alert message if DX required.
