H!
I was looking for an installable version of huffyuv for xp 64 bit edition for some performance testing.

Does anyone where to get it as an installable version?

greetings

The 64-bit version of ffdshow supports en- and decoding of HuffYUV, among others.

found it here:

There is also lame64, some h.264 tools....

I wanted a direct way and install a simple codec, not one of these codecpacs.

As far as I understand the ffdshow it works as an additional layer in the multimedia architecture and that may eat up some cpu time.

The goal was a benchmark with the windows media encoder 9 in 32 and 64 bit with a huffyuv encoded video file.

Uh... no?

It's a single DirectShow filter (with a proper uninstaller to boot) that'll happily encode and decode just about everything supported by libavcodec (which is what mplayer, ffmpeg, xine and a lot of other open source media apps are using), and support for each format can simply be turned on or off at any time.

You might want to try it sometime before calling it a "codec pack" with all the negative connotations that has, thankyouverymuch.

my system is pure - no ffdshow or whatever will be added.

You might not want it to be called a codecpack but what else is it in technical terms? A big download that installs a dozen codecs to my system with or without a special app for managing this.

I tried it out some years ago and I was really disappointed. Lags, hangs, playback problems, suddenly missing audio codecs, that was it.

Your opinion is not mine -
I do simply filtering and encoding using virtualdub with some filters and no error-sensitive script stuff like avisynth. Some people find it cool to play around with avisynth, others like me develop proper vdub filters in c++ and want to keep their system as stable as it is.

That's imo more worth than some guru stuff with a great potential of failure which is also impossible to explain some less advanced users.

It not only has a special app for managing it, but you can literally disable every aspect of it with a few simple drop-down menus on that app. Its one of the only codecs in existence that lets you do that. Nevermind that its based on the most popular codec library in the world, libavcodec, the core of mplayer, VLC, and ffmpeg.

Come on, this has to be a troll.

Well, good thing to keep a system "pure", but a really pure system would probably be useless.

Codec Pack : Several very different softwares created by very different people, bundled together by a more or less competent third party.

FFDShow : ONE software created by a small group of people using the most reliable A/V codec library, FFMPEG.

FFDShow can have problems and bugs, of course, like any piece of software of the world. But it's NOT a codec pack, by any decent definition there is.

life would be a pain without it :)

Yeah... ffdshow != codec pack. It's a single install that DOES have a single program (ffdshow video decoder) to control all its functions. It's a very solid application that shouldn't be put in the same unsavory bin as the abomination of nature that is "the k-lite codec pack". Evil.

Well, actually it's a DirectShow video en-/decoder, a DirectShow audio en-/decoder and a VfW video en-/decoder, but that's basically just 3 frontends for the same codebase.

The most important reason it's not a pack is that it's just one file, ffdshow.ax - the rest of the files are just dynamcally linked support libraries or miscellaneous things you never have to use, like the avs->fakeavi wrapper.

Haali's splitter is no more a pack, even though it splits a half-dozen separate formats.

There's something to be said for focusing on decoding only one thing, but ffdshow's seamless integration is more stable and thoroughly debugged. Most codec packs today are hardly more than ffdshow, haali, and a few other things (legal and otherwise) to fill in the gaps, anyway, unless they're hanging on to their old over-provisioning standards (like k-lite mega).

Besides, this is the only way you'll get 64-bit huffy without command-line tools. :p

Eh? Right-click .inf file->install. No command line necessary.
