Contrary to cyber and mav's post, we work on CoreAVC 3.x/4.0 (as well as our dual licensed CoreAAC encoder) everyday and in fact our OEM sales have never been stronger then this past quarter. As far as Haali's splitter you would have to ask Haali but we do our best to help him when possible and release updates when he provides them. We have been working on the new customer portal and should have it ready soon. Past purchasers can email support@corecodec.com till the portal is launched to retrieve downloads.

... which is definitely not true. I have tried to access my account with core-forget-it and no respons, nothing. Even with my license key I can not access anything.
There must be something badly wrong with these blokes the way they treat their former costumers. And who knows what the support guys have got to do...

I guess I'm happy for you betaboy but you've basically been leaving a string of broken promises for your online purchasers of your product, which has remained stagnant at a time of great advances from its competitors.
I didn't pay a lot for CoreAVC, but neither do I believe I got good value for my purchase. I would have hoped for more attention & fixes for the "retail" product, and less excuses and meaningless timelines.
Clearly you have a resource issue, if you haven't got the resources to properly support the retail software, you should just wind it up, IMO.

Who are the competitors?
nev's LAV filters? egur's QuickSync decoders?
Basically every other DirectShow filters/decoders out there?
Most of which are free and/or even open-sourced :D

That's an indication for a pirated copy of CoreAVC. If you own a valid license, contact their support!
The info was available here, but it seems that the site is currently down:

strange i get dodgey blocky squares on 10bit h264 videos and i know my licence is correct, shoddy decoder, looks like im gonna have to resort to using the free decoders which are at this point a lot more better than what coreavc brings to the table.

Can we expect an update regarding the status of Corecodec?
Because, at this point, we still don't have access to the customer portal and Corecodec downloads. I think a lot of us are going to assume the project is discontinued, unless we see some evidence otherwise.

Read the previous posts, the portal has been down for months. The new one is in process.

^ I'm aaware, but I'd have thought there'd still be some way for customers to be able to obtain their product in the meantime seeing as the process is taking this long.
I'm also curious about your earlier post concerning Windows 8 x64 now. Wondering if this is happenening to a lot of people or not. I intend to install it on Win8 x64 once I can view my key.

I don't want to be a troll, but in the meantime, why don't you guys give alternative projects a try? For example, LAV Video (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191) is a very stable directshow video decoder and it's also a FOSS project. Unless you need specific features of CoreAVC which other projects don't have, there is no reason to wait like that.

On Windows 7 every other filter set I have tested does not actually allow for an alternate decoder to be used by default but the splitter they install allows the MS decoder to be used. The MS decoder is not as efficient as CoreAVC and the CoreAVC decoder is actually used after install.
So in many cases you are fooled these other alternative projects are actually working when it is just a splitter filter giving you what you need to get the MS decoder working.

You can change the preferred decoder with Win7DSFilterTweaker.

Using Win7DSFilterTweaker (http://codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm) is not that hard. In fact, its interface is very simple and comprehensible. And because you only concern about H.264/AVC, it's even easier: Just change the prefered decoder of H.264 from Microsoft to LAV Video then Apply & Close, for example.
But it's your choice so whatever.

I am not the laymen, but to make it easy for those who are, the LAV install and any other should just make itself the default.

I manage faster encode work when CoreAVC software is used as the decoder as opposed to the CUDA-based methods.

I'd rather use DGDecNV instead of DirectShowSource. Besides, LAV Video supports hardware decoding too.
However, I'll stop right here, because your choice has nothing to do with me. And I don't want my good will is seen as a trolling act.
Caution
18th November 2012, 09:07
Feel free to continue. In this case I've actually looked into DGDecNV for freeing up more CPU time for encoding, but have yet to try it. If better performance is likely to be achieved through this route I'm all for it.
Unsurprisingly using the LAV hardware decoder yields the same results as using CoreAVC's CUDA acceleration.

Hi BetaBoy, I noticed a compatibility issue with xy-VSFilter (https://code.google.com/p/xy-vsfilter/) under the DXVA mode. CoreAVC 3.0.1(DXVA) just cant fall back to sw.

At November 15th I wrote a mail to support@corecodec.com telling that the customer portal is still offline and nobody can download software, check their license key, buying software, etc.
I did NOT got any reply.
At November 29th I tweeted "@CoreCodec Store, Downloads & Support (customers.corecodec.com) is still offline. What's going on?" and shortly after (1 day i guess) that tweet the website was online again. I tried to login and to copy my license keys and that worked well.
I don't know what the heck is going on at CoreCodec but I think I'll ignore that company and use other software instead.
@BetaBoy I don't know what you guys are in, how busy you are or how many ppl are working for CoreCodec but you cannot simply turn off your customer portal, tell your customers nothing about how to get downloads & license keys and just hope everything is fine.
Why is there no placeholder website (ONE html file, a simple txt file would work too) which asks for excuse and tells how to get bought software and license keys?
Why is support@corecodec.com not answering?
Why did I had to go public (Twitter) to get the customer portal working again?
And most importantly: Why didn't you just kept the old customer portal running and developed the new portal at eg. customerz.corecodec.com or custs.corecodec.com or even what.the.hell.is.going.on.here.all.your.base.are.belong.to.us.in?
I don't want to troll or blame someone. I just would like to know why some companies make themselves so much more (unnecessary) work and if you want help.

CoreAVC is becoming less and less relevant now though as all apu's and gpu's have h.264 hardware decode support and have had this capability for 2yrs+ now. A coreavc type application will become important once HEVC videos become common as current apu's won't be able to hardware decode those. Many gpu's will as they have programmable architectures.

More like 5+ years and CoreAVC has always improved that capability and allowed for more headroom in a multiple video configuration.

I didnt even know the new portal went live? laziness on their part.
I was able to get it to work, but the new system is all screwed up. My CoreAVC 1.9.5 that was upgraded to 2.0 shows as upgraded to 2.0 and lists my 2.6.2 serial but it still triggers a 1.9.5 download lol
My other CoreAVC order for 2.5 doesnt even show as upgraded to 3.0 so it triggeres a 2.6.2 download, but still lists my 3.0 serial.
My CoreAAC order is completely missing however...
Also, file downloads dont work in a clean way. they just send data with a file name of "CoreAVC" for both 1.9.5 and 2.6.2 without a "proper" file name or .exe extension...
It's also worth noting that the 2.6.2 download isnt digitally signed anymore for whatever reason.

I think the portal currently being online is a early alpha version because of all these bugs. I also think that they enabled it because I (or too many ppl) contacted them and wrote about the problems with license keys and downloads.
Because (I think) it is a alpha version I don't disturb them with "hey, there's a bug". They'll repair that themselves and if not the company will just die. And if they want feedback from us I guess they'll ask us :)

Dunno about that but it definitely seems there is no focus on the consumer products anymore, if that is truly the case it would be nice for Betaboy to clarify it.
I wouldn't be surprised or offended if OEM/commercial was the way forward for them to make money.

Because we don't address every D9 post? Come on. We have been working on the new portal issues one at a time as time permits as we expand its abilities (thank you for the reports).
At the moment we are leaving for CES where we are preparing to demo and announce our CoreAAC Encoder and the OSS/CSS dual licensing model for it and CoreAVC with our partners and licensees.

How about telling us when your will have the site fixed its been several months ive been trying to contact someone at corecodec and your current contact page don't even work ive tired via twitter and even your email and facebook? seriously im very close to the point of passing this onto trading standards and let them deal with you

look if the update rate for coreaac encoder will be same as coreavc then its gonna be a failure all over again.
my purchase of coreavc was pointless since free decoders are now faster and do 10bit decoding without issues. so whats the point of having coreavc these days? waste of money.

There isn't, hence why there are so few posts in this thread now. All new computers can do hardware decoding of h264. CoreHEVC will be pretty popular but seeing as though coreavc is buggy and is only updated once a year i can see many people boycotting it.

Please, set them free to take their time until CES 2015 and Win10 is released.
EDIT: FYI, I bought this in October or November 2011; it was 3.01, and still it is 3.01(!)
Then, everything is fine; no need to update. (maybe, no need forever.)
