Zoom Player 2.60 and ffdshow 19/4 incompatibilities?

[pandv]

Hello,

If I try to open a DivX 3 movie in zoom player with fdshow configured to handle it, zoom player hands (mediaplayer 7 works ok).

If I configure fdshow to no handle this movies, zoom player 2.60 final works ok.

Any one has tried it, or is my machine?

Excuse my ignorance, but what is "fdshow" ?

hey blight.
http://cutka.szm.sk/ffdshow/about

it's a dshow filter that uses various libraries and allows to:

1. decode most mpeg4 clips (divx3.xx/4.xx/5.xx/xvid/mpv2/mpv3/mpv4) using libavcodec opensource library.

2. apply various postprocessing filters (deringing/deblocking/noise generator/brightness/contrast/saturation).

3. allow resizing of the clip before/after applying the postprocessing using various methods (bilinear/bicubic/fast bilinear/more).

4. highly optimized code that consumes very little cpu, plus optional automatic cpu load reduction (selects fewer filters if the cpu load is high)

5. can 'remember' setting for specific clips.

6. opensource, based on the xvid dshow filter skeleton, uses code from ffmpeg project, xmpeg (for decoding), mplayer (postprocessing) and few more.

to for mpeg 4 based clips, that's ALL that u have to install if you want playback only. VERY nice app ;)

Ah, sounds interesting, I actually had a thought about implementing a general-purpose post processing filter, but not in exactly this mannor.

In any case, there isn't any reason why ZP should hang unless the filter is giving bad data.

In any case, I just downloaded the latest build off SourceForge and played a few movies with it, all seem to load ok.

Sorry for the late response, but I has been very busy.

I tested also the last compile from sourceforge (the new compile from today) and Zoom Player/ffdsow are Ok.

I think the incompatibility only is with the 19/4 compile (the "release" version found in http://cutka.szm.sk/xvid/xvid.html).

So, problem resolved. Thank's for your time.
