I can reproduce. I would like to test mplayer, but I don't know the command line.
Maybe we shuold disable the option for h264.

Hi, I just recently started seeing a problem in ffdshow I had never seen before when playing mpeg1 videos. It seems to play fine, but when the video reaches the end, the player (media player classic) hangs and the CPU% shoots up to 100% until I manually kill the process. It seems obvious, but I haven't found any other mention of it in this thread, and I can't find any other reason for it either.

It seems ffdshow_rev1390_20070731_xxl.exe was that last one that worked before the problem started. The only thing in the changelog was "updated libavcodec". I retried several subsequent builds up to ffdshow-rev1413_20070809_xxl.exe with no success. Going back to rev1390 was successful.

It fails with MPEG1 set to "libavcodec", but succeeds with "libmpeg2" or "disabled". I just have it set for libmpeg2 now so it's no problem, but I thought I would mention it.

As for a sample, the first hit on google for "mpeg1 sample" works: http://www.kvcd.net/portal/articles.php?lng=en&pg=60 and click on "704x480-showoff.mpg"

Btw, I'm new here and just wanted to say thanks for all the great work on this project.
I can reproduce the bug.

There have been some changes to libavcodec regarding MPEG in revision 1391.

See if the problem occurs with FFmpeg as well.

I just encountered an ffdshow incompatibility issue which should be easily resolvable:

If you try to play OGG Vorbis content (.ogg audio files) with Haali Media Splitter being used as the source/parser filter, ffdshow refuses connection.

The CLSID subtype on the output pin of the haali filter is "{8D2FD10B-5841-4A6B-8905-588FEC1ADED9}".

I think it's just a matter of accepting the connection, no?

Hmm, forgive my inexperience, but I have not used ffmpeg directly before. To give it a try, I got the latest build I could find, ffmpeg.rev9767.7z, but its date (July 20th) seems to put it before the problem occurred. I tried it anyway, using "ffplay", and there was not any problem. I don't have the tools to compile it directly.

Problem with the following installation file by clsid:
ffdshow_rev1413_20070810_clsid.exe

When installing a first time, I check all video formats.
When installing a second time, the following video formats get unchecked automatically:
*DivX
*Xvid
*Generic MPEG-4

This is using the English language setup.

hmm, its reproducible by me, but the bug will gone after restart mpc.
more intersting if the colorspace is yuy2, the video is cropped and instead of resized. sometime mpc will freeze by changing the "multiply by" value.

Could you provide a sample?

Thank you. mplayer does not work.
But I found the work around for it in ffdshow. I found some other issues around gray decoding.

The ffdshow FLAC decoder doesn't seem to like 8 channels. Sound is distorted with ffdshow tryouts. Here's a sample file:

libavcodec seems to have some trouble outputting non-mod16 video. I used Fraps to capture some video at 1680x1050 and the video looks like this when played back with ffdshow or mplayer. The problem showed up in both the uncompressed video and xvid compressed version, but disappeared when fraps own codec and xvid were used to decompress.

screencap1
screencap2

[edit] Seems like XviD used YUY2 colorspace for output and when i forced ffdshow to use it everything was fine. A Nvidia video driver bug with YV12?

Hi all,

I have fixed the heavy stutterring issue with DTS streams with high bitrate : revision 1420.
This usually concerns blueray videos that hold high quality sound track
Please report me if there are regressions on other numeric formats

I have an E6600 which SHOULD be enough? I'm thinking about overclocking it to 3Ghz in order to playback some of this stuff smoothly at least until CoreAVC 1.5 is out.

Also. Is anyone working on hyperthreading the ffdshow decoder?

One more thing. High bitrate DTS is still a BIG problem with ffdshow using SPDIF passthru. It stutters like crazy. I have to disable ffdshow's DTS decoder and let AC3Filter decode it instead.

For the record, ffdshow-tryouts DO NOT work on libavcodec's video decoding speed. That's the domain of ffmpeg and Mplayer, so complain to them, not us. However, do bear in mind that the VC-1 decoder is still in it's infancy, so is bound to be slow decoding. It will get faster as it's more optimised.

Yep exactly even the biggos implementations are slow yet for VC-1 and have no Hardware accelleration (Mainconcept/Elecard) (Sonic most of their stuff is based on Mainconcept/Elecard research) so in that regards Libavcodecs VC-1 Decoder does quiet well compare :P (Cyberlinks Decoder seems more advanced but it seems only working inside powerdvd :P)

It was restricted to specific shots in random scenes almost as if there was something in the actual image characteristics of the shot that triggered it.

My decode went through the following steps

Graph edit:
Haali media splitter (Ripped HD DVD evo file containing the feature h.264 stream) > ffdshow video decoder > AVI splitter (not sure why but graphedit added this on its own and wouldnt render without it)

The graph is then referenced by an AVS using DirectShowSource

Simply playing the disc reveals that this problem is not in the source. I had this same issue before with a MKV that had an H.264 stream and I don't recall what I did to fix it. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Is there an issue with decoding directly from within the evo container?
If you are trying to decode VC1 using libavcodec's VC1 decoder, it's a known issue. "wmv9" should work.

This sample http://rapidshare.com/files/49123646...acbug.mkv.html (22mb)(rapidshare) seems to cause an access violation after playing a few seconds.
It only happens with realaac, libfaad2 decodes it just fine.

Can someone confirm this?


using ffdshow rev 1371 here

FFdshow video filter multithreading

Is there any work towards getting ffdshow filters multithreaded? Couldn't different tasks be run on different cores eg. decoding and resize on core 0 and other filters + colorspace conversion on core 1?

Thanks but Im only using libavcodec for decoding the H.264 from the HD DVD evo file. VC-1 playback is handled by Microsoft WM9 advanced profile codecs.

Ok, I tried it again, and this time it didn't uncheck: so the behaviour is random.

In all case, I still have problems when re-installing ffdshow. Here is an example with screencaptures.

STEP 1 = Uninstall ffdshow
STEP 2 = Install ffdshow (and reset all default)
STEP 3 = Install ffdshow again


On first install I get:





On second install I get:




So you will notice that on second installation, many checkboxes have disappeared:

* CorePNG, MS Video 1, MSRLE, Techsmith, Truemotion
* ASV1/2, CYUV, ZLIB, 8BPS, LOCO, MSZH, QPEG, WNV1, VCR1
* CamStudio, ZMBV, Ultimotion, VIXL, AASC, IV32, FPS1, RT21

* ADPCM, MS GSM, Truespeech

* Always skip H.264 inloop deblocking
