New ffdshow build (?) - Page 46

max-holz · 1st April 2006, 09:15

Where is possible to find a good tutorial how to build ffdshow and create the installer? Like the one that is present in the x264 compilation thread for eample.

I tried updating the libavcodec code from ffdshow with new one from ffmpeg project and there were still a lot of problems, I then replaced quite some part in the ffmpeg code and used the ffdshow makefile for it with the original ffmpeg but there were always many linker errors in the end with missing links. Even just replacing the few parts about h264 failed.

Whatever I found out that GCC 4.1.1 produced a libavcodec that had a bit better performance than my old one ... lousy result of trying for hours how to fix up libavcodec for ffdshow ... but you also have to add skals code etc.

Is milan the only coder on ffdshow?

videomixer9 · 3rd April 2006, 02:01

yes ... and he even though it is open source there seem to be some mysterious about some things, like there could be a patch or batches or notes about what to do to e.g. modify libavcodec ... but it's not like open source would mean that you get insides on anything without trying to figure it out all by yourself really. After all open source is usually well known for bad documentation upto none at all.

CVS looks abandoned to me. However, there is some recent activity in the SVN

@BoNz1
Right... and what was stopped at Revision 2476 @ Jan 27 2006 restarted on Mar 29 2006 as Revision 2477, and since then updates have been quite frequent, several times a day; as of writing this, the newest one is Revision 2496

yet that last one happened about 16h ago already.

Plus most those revisions are quite marginal, mostly dealing with x64bit tweaks (changing data format definitions and such). Seems Milan was able to make ffvdub and ffvwf 64bit as well

And, of course, updating libavcodec and libmpeg.

So can anyone try to build the project now? :P

Come on, milan has to sleep and eat and do real life too... When I said "updated several times a day" I didn't mean "evey 3 horus"...

Negi · 3rd April 2006, 07:30

So milan took a 2-month leave? Good thing he's back on the job. I was getting worried that he'd abandon FFDSHOW. Thanks milan!

I can't see the problem: isn't ffdshow open source ?
So, everyone can update it...

Negi · 3rd April 2006, 22:09

Anyone can contribute to the CVS but an admin (milan) has to commit the patches. If someone wanted to continue it without milan, they'd have to fork it. I think. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I understand that. But, last change atm is 37 hours ago

I was merely wondering if milan came back for a long time or just to do some quick fixes

Liisachan · 4th April 2006, 15:09

i bet 'for a long time'
svn was updated again anyway (twice as of now)

videomixer9 · 4th April 2006, 15:40

updated libmpeg2 to 0.5.0, the rest is vs2005 project changes.

is there a page on CIA for SVN projects?

This one ???

videomixer9 · 4th April 2006, 21:06

amazing, suddenly also svn changes appear ... ? ... checked a while ago and it did show only cvs

Liisachan · 5th April 2006, 01:21

true, that changelog had been stopped & I un-bookmarked it a few days ago. then it is alive again...

Egh · 5th April 2006, 16:41

Good build :approved:

http://kurosu.free.fr/ffdshow-20060403-23H17-athlon.exe

Kuroshu is superior again:0 So far I don't have any problems with it (and yes, it uses latest SVN)

(well latest for 3rd april of course :P I think upto 2496 revision is included)

Shapierian · 5th April 2006, 18:53

I noticed that for the Makefile based build systems -msse2 seems to be on by default. This seems kind of dangerous to me considering Athlon-xp doesn't support sse2. Am i missing anything?
Also why is -msse on but it is set to -march=i586? I don't thunk there are any 586 class cpus that support sse?
