Is it possible to make FFDShow to show subtitles, even when CoreAVC decoder is used?

I can use player build-in subtitle support for H264 files, but there's some problems with it. Also i could use VSFilter to show all subs, but i got high CPU problem with that. I have now set FFDShow to handle H264, but CPU is higher, than with CoreAVC. I don't got very fast processor (Duron 1600Mhz).

So i would like to use CoreAVC, but still show subtitles i.e. with FFDShow. What would you recommend to me?

In ffdshow options, on the Codecs page, set 'Raw video' to 'All supported'.

This will cause the ffdshow filter to process the raw video that is outputted by CoreAVC (and other decoders), allowing you to use the subtitle functionality of ffdshow.

For WMP11 on Vista an additional option need to be enabled to active a workaround. That option will be displayed at the bottom of the Codecs page when you select Raw Video. This new option was just added today, so you need to get today's nightly build of ffdshow.

Doesn't work. Subs are not displayed.

In my thought, there is not much you can do except by trying other players having built-in subtitle parser such as MPC, BSPlayer, The KMPlayer, and etc.

Don't forget to make the player superspeed mode if you want to try KMP.

Can confirm that this works for displaying subtitles with ffdshow on H264 files while using CoreAVC. Thanks for the advice.

you can take a look here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=128616), the patch build vsfilter by clsid might fix some bugs.
