Originally posted by Didée Yes, I tried ffdshow 12-03-2004. And I am still very unhappy with it.
- It *still* plays non-packed XviD *jerky* (not everytime, interestingly ... but in 80% of all cases. For me).
Is it possible that your problems are coming from ffdshow trying to decode audio, like MP3 or AC3 ? Please render your files in Graphedit and have a look at the playback graph.
- Aspect ratio handling still broken (at least when using its internal resizing). ... works like a charm here ? You sure have 'use overlay' enabled ? Please note that this function has been moved from the 'codecs' page to 'options' in the latest builds.
Anyway, it was decided yesterday by the complete team on IRC that we cant use the latest ffshow builds for the packs, because there is a MPEG4 encoder ( FFvfw ) coming in the pack, and as a well defined group of persons we all wont take the risk to distribute binaries of it without paying licenses to MPAA.
Several other solutions were discussed :
1. We make a ffdshow 'lite' build without the FFvfw
2. We create our own build of libavcodec.dll, with encoder disabled
3. We fork from ffdshow and restrict it to what it can do best : decode MPEG4 video, and nothing else .... and fast and stable ....
We dont know what we will come up with, but Nibor is talking to me on a daily basis on IRC now, with input form the complete team, so expect something good and working in not-so-far-future ;) ...
