XviD options panel?

[madgat]

I guess I must've missed something, but where did the XviD filter properties panel go in recent versions? After installing Koepi's 8/8 build or uManiac's 8/12 build, all I see when I choose filter properties during playback is an XviD logo, no Brightness slider or post-processing checkboxes. The last build that I have with these options is Koepi's 6/30 build.

I'm using WMP 6.4 on Win2K, if that helps...

You're right, XviD DirectShow Filter is not included in the recent builds. You can consider using ffdshow playback filter making the necessary changes in the settings (Codecs-> "XVID" and "Decode using XviD" are both ticked / Miscallenous-> "IDCT: XviD" selected). You can also enable post-processing and set a level by moving the slider.

You can download ffdshow filter from Doom9's downloads -> filters section.

You probably miss Nic's filter (the one with deringing etc). I couldn't find a way to get the file out of the installer file so I uninstalled xvid, installed the old build with the filter, copied 'xvid.ax' out of \winnt\system32, uninstalled, reinstalled the new build and copied 'xvid.ax' back into system32. A simple regsvr32 xvid.ax in a cmd-box later and everything works. Just remember to keep the file somewhere unless you want to do it again next time. :-)
NB: there is probably a reason Koepi removed the filter, but I haven't noticed any problems playing xvids encoded with newer builds (I haven't tried b-frames).

Okay, thanks to both of you for the help.
