'mpeg2dec2.dll' What is better compare to older 'mpeg2dec.dll'?

[HarryM]

Please...

I see in info, that I can crop (with this modifications) direct in d2v project (!).

What is faster (better)?
Cropping directly in d2v project (less time for mpeg2 decoding?) or cropping in avs script?

Just test and you'll see ;)

It's seems is a little bit faster to crop with the d2v file.

Most of the changes are discussed in the neverending DVD2AVI Sourceforge thread in the DVD2AVI forum. But mostly they are:

1) Some native code SSE2 assembler making it faster on P4's.

2) A fix so it can now crop properly (slightly faster and more convenient).

3) Support for native ATSC (HDTV) streams without having to demux them first.

4) Larger (more memory requirements) buffer sizes so it will not as often crash on garbage input data. It will instead more often correctly produce garbage output frames, but that is still more desirable than just crashing. ;)

5) A few other optimizations.

6) Probably some other stuff I forgot.
