View Full Version : Make FFDShow my default H.264 Decoder?

Can I do that and still keep CoreAVC installed? If so how?

And this is why I want this configuration on my system:

1. CoreAVC is the only decoder that can decode my HD-channel, so I need it. I can set my decoder to what ever I want so CoreAVC don't need to be my default decoder for H.264.

2. When I want to edit my *.ts(H.264) files with TSPE or H264TS_Cutter I want to use FFDShow. But now CoreAVC is my default. And I can't set the decoder to FFDShow in any of these two programs, like my tv-application. I think this is why I can't edit my *.ts(H.264) files because every application I try will use CoreAVC instead of FFDShow.

I hope there is a solution to my problem. :)

go to video decoder configuration (ffdshow), codecs, set H264/AVC to libavcodec. You don't have to uninstall coreavc...

If you want coreavc back in the filter chain for decoding, just disable libavodec for h264/avc.

It's already set to libavcodec, but that dosen't change my system(win xp) default decoder for H.264.

In ZoomPlayer i use ffdshow for x264 no problem, but in programs where I don't can set the decoder they use what the system(win xp) has as a H.264 decoder and in my case it's CoreAVC. :/

maybe you have to set the vfw decoder to libavcodec for h264/avc as well (look in vfw decoder settings)...

uninstall coreavc :D

ok, now seriously: perhaps you can unregister coreavc. But I don't know if it can reregistered without problems...

Perhaps adjusting DirectShow filter merits (priorities) so that ffdshow comes before CoreAVC would help. There are probably many tools available for adjusting the priorities.

I haven't used Windows for a long time, so hopefully I'm not pointing you to an entirely wrong direction.

I will try and look for some tools to edit the priorites.

DSFMGr - DirectShow Filter Manager 0.5 - is a working tool...
