New ffdshow build (?)

[foxyshadis]

In that case I'll start the pp tweaking again that I'd set aside before tryouts was established. It's still a goal of mine to get auto-levels working as well, so this "washed out" madness can end for good.

Hi clsid,

Thanks for not hosting these builds on RapidShare ;)

Hi clsid,

Thanks for not hosting these builds on RapidShare ;)

btw why not to put them on ffdshow tryouts sf page?

P.S. @VM9: can you make a newer build with recent changes then?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi clsid,

Just installed ffdshow_rev2546-68 and noticed it has "MBAFF" support too. How does SVN68 differ from SVN63?

By-the-way, is there any way of "switching on" MBAFF support otherthan via the installer GUI?


Cheers

Changelog for rev2546-68?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Changelog for rev2546-68?My apologies... but where can you refresh my memory as to where the change-logs be found nowadays?

I think it would be kinda handy to include the change-log info together with the main .exe file ;)

[clsid]

The installer contains two versions of libavcodec.dll, one with and one without MBAFF. Support for MBAff was already added in revision 16, but it is turned off by default in the makefile.

Latest few (64 -> 68) changes:
- FAAD2 v2.5
- Some asm fixes for vorbis, snow and fft.

ffdshow changelogs (http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ffdshow-tryout/?sortby=date&view=log)

[haruhiko_yamagata]

Yes, change log is very important.
I posted changelog.txt to SVN (root directory). It includes only changes of rev 7-13. Lest's edit it and compleate.

I think this is a developer's change log and users would need a documentation from their point of view though.

2 VM9: when doing update ffdshow-tryout don't forget to update version.c for new license info.

[jffulcrum]

Starting from ffdshow-tryouts-rev25 MPEG-1 video playback via libavcodec.dll became sluggish a little. In later builds near all .MPG files mired and some became totally unplayable (whole movie frames dropped after one or two seconds of playback). It doesn`t depend on used player or output renderer as i tried. I`m use generic builds from vm9. Disabling error concealment has no effect. Via libmpeg2 all ok.

I still have problems with Vorbis :(

When I use tremor in your build MPC will close itself immediately without any errors. It works without problems in my own rev80 build (gcc 3.4.5).

With libavcodec vorbis I get only static noise as output. Both with your build and my own. Same problem as I had before your latest changes. I had no problems in rev47. I suspect something got broken around rev58 when VM9 did some changes to the vorbis code.

Tested on an AMD Athlon (no SSE support). Problem remains after disabling all SIMD sets. So perhaps a bug in the generic code?

[thuan]

haru-han something's wrong with your build, it seems only the ax libavcodec and libmplayer is ok, the other dlls are borked. They don't show up in About->Version details here. BTW libavcodec vorbis works fine now with 2ch audio (I deleted the 5.1ch test file so can't test) don't know what went wrong with clsid though.

I tested again on P4HT and Athlon64x2. Both of the problems are not reproducible. My build use SSE, so it may not work on old Athlon (as for tremor) .

As for libavcodec, could you upload a sample?

[clsid]

I am testing previous revisions of libavcodec now. Hopefully I can pinpoint when the problem was introduced.

The problem occurs with every ogg file that I try. Here is a small sample that you may already have: http://akapuma.info/test/aka.ogg

I can't reproduce your problem on both of my PCs. You probably have SSE, I have no idea.

Excuse me, 0820 build included debug build files. I updated my build (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941).

My CPU is a T-bread SSE and 3DNow. BTW libsamplerate and libmpeg2's also fine on my computer. Here the two pictures of the version details box.

There's also one more thing I'd like to report. I make a codec pack myself for personal and my friend use and I use ffdshow as the core decoder. With ffdshow revision after audx support inclued it seems that if either one of ff_libmad.dll and audxlib.dll must be present for user to chose a mp1/2/3 decoder. If there's none of them in the ffdshow folder then in the ffdshow audio decoder settings you still can select mp3lib as decoder but after apply and exit the window the mp1/2/3 decoder go back to disabled.

[clsid]

Problem is fixed in rev82 :)

Problem with sluggish MPEG-1 palayback still present, no matter of build supplier. But they not present in case of MPEG-encoded video in .avi package. May be out of sync between ffdshow audio & video decoders ?

[MacAddict]

Rev82 build has broken the resize again it seems.

[thuan]

Haru-han your new r82 build seems to be perfect. MacAddict what's wrong with the resize filter? Can't find any here.

Good question, I uninstalled Rev80 to try 82 again. This time both Rev82 builds worked fine with resizing. My first try yesterday was with clsid's build and gave me a green overlay on the movie if 'resize' was selcted within ffdshow. So I'm not sure what happened but now both builds are fine:D

Edit-
clsid's build is indeed giving me the green overlay on 2 or 3 clips here but haruhiko_yamagata's isn't displaying the problem with the same clips.

clsid: where did MakeAVIS go? It was in previous builds and is necessary to make AVIS virtual AVI files. VFAPI cannot be used with fft3d.

haruhiko_yamagata: Your builds include MakeAVIS, but it doesn't work. First error is can't find msvcr80.dll, then when the file is copied into System32, the new error is:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0x800000003). Click OK to terminate the application."

drevil_xxl: You win the prize! Your excellent autodetecting builds include MakeAVIS and it works fine. Thanks for allowing me to continue my work with this excellent feature.

But wait... in the vfw encoder window... where did Windows Media 7/8 encoding go? I see the buggy WMV7/8 ffmpeg encoders, but the interface to the original Windows Media encoders is gone! WMV8 happens to be the fastest decode for HD video of all of them (by my tests), and is just fast enough for my system. Hopefully this can be re-added? Thanks!

Oops, VFW decoder has dual entries for WMV3/9 in the Codecs list.
Also, VFW encoder has 8 'W' items in Encoder dropdown list.

I know about the crash issue. It only happens with files created by some old x264 revision. I don't think many encodes created with that revision are floating around. Just a few test samples.

There exist a very strange workaround to play the problematic samples without crashes. Just play some other file first that also uses ffdshow, then reuse the player instance to play the test sample.

Question to all compilers.
Since the lightning struck here i am kinda out of the loop.
Since you are all so active, i need to know:

What version should i use to update ffdshow on x264.nl?
I need target the most possible number of users.
I am testing FFdshow-20060823-rev2546.exe

Does FFdshow-20060823-rev2546.exe have multicore support?
Because unlike coreavc, with the program timecode.exe, ffdshow is not using more then 50% of my cpu.

[igor1st]

What version should i use to update ffdshow on x264.nl?
I need target the most possible number of users.
Latest revisions of ffdshow-tryout are good (and it already contains all important patches). Single problem I know - after updating libavcodec (rev30) it become up to 30% slower when decoding ASP.

[clsid]

There is no multithreaded decoding in ffdshow afaik. The only thing that is made multithreaded is the resize filter in ffdshow. But you need to enable 'Queue output samples' in the options first.


Revision 85 - Generic build (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ffdshow-tryout/ffdshow_rev2546-85_20060823.exe?download)

[haruhiko_yamagata]

Hello, bob0r. Nice to see you again.

There is no multithreaded decoding in ffdshow afaik. The only thing that is made multithreaded is the resize filter in ffdshow. But you need to enable 'Queue output samples' in the options first.
Resize always uses multithread if you have dual core or multipule CPU regardless of "Queue output samples".
"Queue output samples" is an accelerator rather than multithreading, but I belive it is effective on P4HT or dual core.

Another known bug : mpeg2 is sluggish after rev 30. I'm trying to fix this.

bob0r, if you are distributing for end users, I recommend rev 13. Patch rev 37 should be added to rev 13.
Updating libavcodec is important work, it is being debuged and needs more testing for release.

[Egh]

LOL, it seems I've just discovered quite a FAIL in ffdshow GUI :P

In the "Output" page, DV checkbox can be checked but can't be unchecked. Thus if you checked
you screw everything up, and can't remove it :)

Luckily I found out "reset" button on same page to revert settings to default. But I guess better solution would be possibility to uncheck that box :)

P.S. Last build from clsid has been used for testing.
