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.

I never experienced issues decoding 10-bit video. They're not updating maybe cause there's no need to update?

I've been able to view everything since their last update (3.01). Maybe they'll return for h265?

No, there is need to fix all the bugs in the current version.

Most have already been fixed actually, so the hold up on a fix release is quite a mystery.

^ 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.

Where are we on this? I still cannot get a password reset on my corecodec account and I don't want to repurchase unless I will be able to get something that will work on Windows 8.

That's why I'll download their software in the future.
Making good software = thumbs up
Selling good software = thumbs up
Supporting good software = thumbs up
Just dropping all customer service and play dead dog = kill it with fire.

To be honest, i don't care about that company anymore since they don't care about their customers (by the way, I have my license keys, etc. and I don't have any software bugs - I'm not "raging" because of that).

@BetaBoy: Please tell us (or me in private) what's the problem giving customers access to their CD-Keys. Within ONE week i could create a php page with login function and a simple echo'ing of the software DL link and the license key.
There are so many web-devs out there who would like to help (for free) but if you don't ask for help and can't solve it yourself (as we see you can't) web-devs also can't help you.

It's kinda sad to see a company dying which creates well-written code and stable software. First you lose your customers satisfaction (omg), then their trust and then the customer itself ... i thought you have to make money to survive!

EDIT: I think the CES is over now!

Hello,
I have an issue regarding coreAVC and megui x64. Usually I'm using ffdshow to decode. I have to change something in my .avs? :

LoadPlugin("C:\MeGUI x64\tools\avs\directshowsource.dll")
DirectShowSource("E:\Vidéos\TF1\The.Voice.S02E07.ts", fps=25.000, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(25,1)

Thanks in advance.

Actually I would like coreavc to decode my video and use the deinterlacer included in core avc to deinterlace my video. But, my problem is if I have Haali splitter installed, this is haali that is render my video and no deinterlace is apply or if I uninstall haali obviously there is no render at all.
If I have both ffdshow + haali there is no problem and I can activate the ffdshow yadif etc... but I'd like use corecodec because he is more performant.
Sorry if my english is bad.
Thanks

I think it's time to close this thread alright. :)

I don't think we should close this thread. Instead I suggest that everybody will stick to the topic again!

That is: Any posts that add new information about the status of CoreAVC or posts that add information on how to workaround the known issues are still welcome.

But any "off topic" posts , i.e. posts that are just bashing/speculation or that repeat the same known problem for the 100-th time, will just be removed...

A small bug report for Haali Splitter.
Some of the new .MOV files can't be split correctly (Haali Splitter doesn't detect the video stream).
A sample file is hangover3-tlr1b_h1080p.mov , the Trailer Posted: 04/12/13 from here [ http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/thehangoverpartiii/ ]

A possible lead: when muxing the .MOV into a .MKV using MKVToolnix, the following warning is reported (the mux is successful though):
Warning: Quicktime/MP4 reader: Track ID 0 has more than one FourCC. Only using the first one (avc1) and not this one (avc1).

Another Haali Splitter issue:
It's unable to detect SOWT and TWOS audio streams at all (usually in .MOV / quicktime container).

BetaBoy, please give us an update, anything.
Is CoreAVC dead and buried?
Is it still worth reporting Haali issues?

What's going on man...

Unable to connect. :(

Last version is v3.0.1, not 3.1.0.1 ! And it was released 20 months ago!

Looks like they abandoned the support including the product.

Right now I want h.265 (aka HEVC), is much better (specially future proof) than h.264.

I contacted Haali's author directly, he was kind enough to link me to a build fixing 'TWOS' audio stream splitting.
He gave me permission to share it, it can be downloaded here (http://haali.su/mkv/mkx.t.2.exe).
Just as a note, this seems to be the version that I posted here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1624370#post1624370) after I tested it, back in April :) . Just wasn't sure if he wanted the test url to be public, so I chose to re-host it when sharing it.

And yes, if you want any fixes to be done into the Haali splitter, I recommend you contact him personally instead of any threads here or anywhere else :) . He used to be on IRC, but he finally dropped all signs of life there around spring of 2012, and around January 2013 he then finally had his bouncer/IRC proxy die off.

Hello, i have strange problem with coreavc (see attached screenshot). i have reinstalled my netbook and this is what i'm getting now. i'm sure it was ok before.
It looks like there is trouble with filtering. i tried to play with coreavc settings, but it did not help. picture is ok when I play same video file with GOM internal player. But I cannot use that internal player for HD because my netbook has not that good cpu (atom).
Do you have any idea what is wrong and how can I fix this?

Regards,
L.

The problem appears to be that fields are separated (e.g. using a bob algorithm), which reduces the vertical resolution and introduces edge aliasing. Software deinterlacers may decide whether interpolation is useful, based on the difference of the fields, what hardware based deinterlacers may not do. A single screenshot of a still scene does not reveal if deinterlacing is at all required in motion scenes. An "interlaced" (field oriented) encoding is not the only criterion, often the encoding is set up to "interlaced" mode only for technical reasons, not because the video content progresses fieldwise; for such video content, it may be useful to force no deinterlacing.

I've been using CoreAVC for the longest time so what's a good h264 decoder on the market now?

the_weirdo

13th October 2013, 09:15

There's no "best", but IMHO, LAV Video is a very good and stable H.264 DirectShow decoder, which is based on libavcodec. In software mode, its performance can be compared to CoreAVC, even outperform with high bit-depth H.264. It also support hardware-accelerated decoders, include CUVID, DXVA (native and copy-back), QuickSync. And it's free and open-source.

EDIT: I just answered the above question, didn't intend to troll or anything. As CoreCodec has abandoned their product, I think people deserve to know other alternatives if they want.

16th October 2013, 17:40

Thanks for the reply, wow I didn't know forums had rules such as "don't ask what's best", now that is weird.

CoreAVC was the best decoder during it's time, it's too bad they stopped development because I could run 1080p video on my old Pentium 4 system whereas libavcodec would cripple the system.

Not that any of that matters now on my current rig, but just curious if anything new came out to replace CoreAVC during this time.

On the DShow side, I continue to use COREAVC (even though LAV may be faster) because, historically it has had slightly better corruption handling (corrupted DCT coefficients instead of large black blocks, iirc). It's not so important for playback, but for encoding, the errors will be permanantly embedded in the video.

Until last year, I was using the H.264 decoder from DivX. I switched to LAV Video when I found that

1) there are some clips which the DivX filter failed to decompress properly, and

2) the H.264 decoder from ffmpeg/libav finally became as fast as the payware H.264 decompressors :cool: :cool: :cool:

He worked with x264 for a short time after CC disbanded (never a public announcement, but it was quickly obvious), and now he's a business consultant in Florida. I wonder if he's the one who keeps the website and hosting up for old times' sake.

BetaBoy will not return to Doom9, so probably it is time to finally lock this thread.

P.S.: besides, "nobody" uses CoreAVC anymore.
