I can't register EVRMixer.dll on a clean Win 7 x64 (VM)
any other dll needed ? (but I can register dslibbluray.ax)

Using version 0.2.4, I still have many dvd menus that don't behave very well, ie I hear no audio with any type of audio decoder. Playing back the pure vobs work fine so it doesn't look like any decoders fault. Is there still alot of work to do on the dvd navigator?

Hurayyy!! We have an Open Source BD Navigator !

I'm using LAVFilters instead of FFD and I didn't use "Win7DSFilterTweaker_4_8" cause I can register EVRMixer.dll only on a system with VS2010 and I don't want to mess up my main system and I was to lazy to find out what other dll or... I need to register EVRMixer.dll on a clean install so I can do the test in a VM
but I don't have any problem with codecs

So.... bugs:
1 Some BD are crashing:

MVC++ runtime library
Assertion failed!
Line 57
Expresion: bLeak==FALSE

2. Some don't even start
3. I can navigate only with the Keyboard
Navigating with the mouse it's not working
4. In some menus I can't see where is the selection: e.g when changing from PLAY to Languages I can't see when Language is selected although pressing enter it's showing the available languages

But this is a great start

P.S. I think you should open a new thread for dslibbluray

Hi
thank you for your efforts, but i have a dvd that have the fbi warning can't be skipped or forwarded. can you fix that?

i have a wonderful idea , why don't you create a hack tool to use vlc plugins?
like (DVDnav & DVDread)

i really hope you consider this idea.

Hello.
I realy want to test your open dvd nav but the file DVDNavigatorPathHack.exe doesn't seems to do it's job.
I own 2 computer under win7 32bit and win7 64 bits and when i launch DVDNavigatorPathHack, i click "hack" then select the file "dslibdvdnav.ax" and i doesn't do anything, MPC steel use the classic qdvd.dll from microsoft.
Could you tell me witch registry key do i need to edit to use your dvd navigator instead of microsot one ?

Thanks a lot.

Has there been an development with dslibdvdnav this year?

[JarrettH]

For anyone still experiencing problems like artifacting, I'd recommend to keep using AnyDVD to fix those problems

I seerm to have the same problem as Shinobu (post of 3rd July 2012). Replacing the qdvd.dll works fine with me. However, the "Hack" method doesn't work at all unless I am doing something wrong. This is what I am doing: I click "Hack", Explorer window opens, I point to dslibdvdnav.ax and then to "Open", the window closes - and that's it?

That should be it. To test if it worked properly you can rename the qdvd.dll that is in system32 or syswow64 (if you're on 64 bit Windows) to something else like old_qdvd.dll and play a DVD. If the DVD plays and you see DVD Navigator in the filter chain than it should be working. Basically, the hack program just changes the location of qdvd.dll in the registry so that any program that wants to use qdvd.dll simply gets pointed to dslibdvdnav.

am i doing something wrong, or does this dvdnavigator not support subtitles?

dslibdvdnav should support subtitles just fine. Are you sure you have the subtitle on and on the right subtitle track?

[mindbomb]

yes, does the choice of video decoder matter?
I've noticed it doesnt work well with mpc's mpeg2 decoder, so I'm using the microsoft one.

edit:
okay, subs work with the arcsoft video decoder.
Video doesn't even work right with the mpc mpeg 2 decoder.
subs dont work with the microsoft decoder.
and lav video doesnt get used with this dvd navigator for some reason.

[dansrfe]

I'm using dslibdvdnav with the latest LAV Filters, MPC-HC, and madVR builds. It works flawlessly for me.

Make sure nothing else is in your filter chain that might be screwing with it. Not sure what else to recommend.

[mindbomb]

I'm using 0.2.4, are you using that version too?

I'm using the latest lav filters, and I can't get lav video to connect. Lav audio is used fine for the ac3.

[Blight]

just a small note, ZP v8.5 final adds support for this navigation filter.

[ricardofac]

It's doesnt work here with LAV Filters + madVR, I tried dslibdvdnav, I open the DVDNavigatorPatchHack.exe and then choose the dslibdvdnav.ax, ok, but nothing happens, the window closes and still I have problems with Macrovision Fail with any DVD. Can anyone help me?

I'm using Windows 7 x64.

At people who still get the macrovision error after using the hack, make sure you're registering the 32-bit version of the DVD navigator if you're using MPC-HC x86 (madVR doesn't work with MPC-HC x64 so you're most probably using the x86 version anyway).

Nevertheless, the hack it still doesn't work here :/

[VenomousNinja]

MPC-BE x32,LAV filters, latest madVR + dslibdvdnav (used hack patch) works great on Win 7 x64. The only annoyance I get it that I have to click "PLAY movie" twice on most of DVD menus.

AFAIK, MPC-BE uses EVR for DVD playback even you select madVR as video renderer. Also, madVR doesn't (officially) support DVD playback yet.
