Excuse my ignorance I am not very tech savy.

Is ffdshow the only codec pack I need to play MKVs in WMC? I was pointed towards LAV because I read somewhere it's the only codec that will play MKVs in WMC without the need for any add-ons.

Thanks

My apologies, I thought this thread was for everything LAV related.

The MKVs are files a friend sent me BTW, nothing illegal.

Thank you for looking into it. If there is anything I can provide to help isolate the problem please let me know.
I've had the same issue with LAV and Blu-ray. It reads the disc really badly and skips along with it.

ArcSoft plays the disc fine, and so does MPC BE/HC without LAV.

None. See the faq.

Q: Can LAV Audio decode DTS-HD?
A: Kind of. On its own, it cannot. But, LAV Audio supports using the ArcSoft DTS decoder, which allows decoding of full DTS-HD. Just drop the "dtsdecoderdll.dll" from the TMT3/5 Codecs directory into LAV Audio's directory, and enjoy. NOTE: This only works on 32-bit!

If you have issues, please also report them, or they will never get fixed.

I've not heard of playback issues from Blu-rays before, and considering LAV actually prefetches quite a bit of data, i would've thought even with inefficient IO it should work fine.
This may however depend on your BD drive, if its a slower model the effect would be much worse, of course.

I use KMPlayer fresh install + Lav filters and screen capture of KMp does not seem to work (PrintScreen button does thou), could you look into this?

LAV does not do anything with screen capturing.

nev, quick question, when using LAV to deinterlace 25i to say 50p, should LAV then mention 50fps in the output pin. It doesn't seem to in my case, and so the likes of madVR still says movie 25.000 fps (says source filter). Is this by design?

Its a limitation, and unlikely to be fixed anytime soon. Considering it just doubles the reported FPS, and TVs typically are better off running at 50Hz/60Hz anyway rather than 25/30Hz, its just not very high priority.

No problem. Yeah thats he exact scenario I'm in, outputting to 50fps, but the likes of madVR display switcher tries to then switch to 25hz as it doesn't see 50. No worries.

Just don't give it a 25Hz refresh rate to switch to, then it won't.

fwiw, I'm using a LG BH08LS20, which is rated at 36MB(8x).

I have seen people having stuttering problems with CD audio playback as well when LAV Splitter was used. Mostly at track changes.

InTheLight, do you hear the drive spinning up when the stuttering occurs?

Then I'll be stuck in the previous rate, eg 60hz no problem, other ways around these things.

LAV supports CD Audio playback?

Well offer it 50Hz, then it should switch to 50Hz when it "thinks" the movie is 25Hz.

Is it an MPC or LAV problem when the next track in the playlist file, .plc, get's changed to, the seekbar progresses as if the audio is playing, yet there is no sound until I go to the previous track and next again?

If you can easily reproduce the problem, maybe you can test this version?
http://files.1f0.de/lavf/LAVFilters-0.58-23-bd-test.zip

I tried to compare IO patterns of LAV and the old mpc-hc filters, and nothing really obvious was visible, to i tweaked the small screws a bit, making the IO buffer a clean multiple of the file system sector size, and instructing windows to optimize caching for sequential reading..

Not sure if it helps much at all, but thats really the only differences i could see between the two.

Yes, in combination with CDDA source filter of MPC-HC.
