New ffdshow build (?)

[clsid]

Access Violation in ffdshow on Windows Vista RC2.(5744)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1567236&group_id=53761&atid=471489
FFdshow rev 350 is working ok, no crash.
FFdshow reports 0% cpu usage always.
I think haruhiko fixed that bug by removing the CPU usage OSD item.

[clsid]

List of known issues in revision 423:

1) Wavpack decoder crashes on this file (http://rapidshare.de/files/34646550/SoC__XviD_WavPack_MP3_-007.mkv.html). (reported by clsid)
2) ICL9 builds of ffdshow.ax crash on files created by a specific old revision of x264 (don't know the rev number). Funny thing however is that the files play without crash if you first play a good file and then play a 'troublesome' file in the same player instance. Also no crash when using a plain unoptimized debug build. Sample file (http://rapidshare.de/files/35447656/sample.mp4.html). (reported by clsid)
3) image settings -> preset autoload conditions -> "on FOURCC match" doesn't work. (reported by juskixxx)
4) Interface bug in Windows Vista. Details and screenshot (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=888312#post888312). (reported by BlindWanderer)

Reported but unconfirmed bugs:

5) Loading IFO file in MPC and seeking thru the video instantly crashes MPC. Seeking thru VOB file is fine.(reported by DSP8000)
6) Instant crash when trying to play this MSS2 WMV file (http://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/V-codecs/MSS2/mss2_speech.wmv). Happens on Windows 2000. No crash on drevil_xxl's XP system. (reported by clsid)
7) The following encoders do not work for me: MPEG 4, MPEG 1, MPEG 2, h.263, H.261 and DV. VirtualDub 1.16.16 gives the following error: "Cannot start video compression. An unknown error occurred (may be corrupt data). (error code -100)". I know that at least some of these encoders do work for others. My system specs: Windows 2000, AMD Athlon Thunderbird. (reported by clsid)
8) Resize filter alters colors. Details (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=884778#post884778). (reported by Kador)
9) Automatic preset loading doesn't seems to be working with on "number of channel match" and AC3 audio on DVD (don't know if it happens with AC3 audio in MKV, AVI or not or any other audio format). I use "3;4;5;6" in "number of channel match" so this should load with audio track with more than 2 channels but with an AC3 2 channels track this is also loaded. (reported by thuan)
10) Automatic Quality Control in PostProcessing video filter is broken I think. At least with what I see with the preset slider. Normally the dot should go up and down as the CPU load differs but now it only stuck at where it defaults. (reported by thuan)

When outputting the audio to AC3 using the ffdshow AC3 encoder there are a lot of downmix overflows. The sound seems to be distorted as if the volume is to high. (reported by TFM_TheMask)Has this one been fixed or not?

[_xxl]

I think haruhiko fixed that bug by removing the CPU usage OSD item.
Rev 350 is working ok with Vista RC2 x86.
Please confirm.

I'll commit when ready.

The default User no longer has permission to access
the pseudo registry key HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. This
causes the call to RegQueryValueEx to return
ACCESS_DENIED.Please test Vista RC2 with a regular user account, because it probably works ok on admin and poweruser accounts.

True, but no crash.

Tested no crash.Cpu usage is 0% always.
EDIT:
The same results on admin and guest accounts.

The last is Automatic Quality Control in PostProcessing video filter is broken I think. At least with what I see with the preset slider. Normally the dot should go up and down as the CPU load differs but now it only stuck at where it defaults.

I think that's actually related to the cpu usage bug. But I can't test now because sourceforge's one old-files site is down and I don't have the motivation to recompile a couple old revs. ^^;

[JarrettH]

anyone know why sourceforge only has one download mirror? (not working)

[foxyshadis]

It's some kind of database mishap, but I found that if you had a preferred mirror selected already, you can click on the link it defaults to and the files will be there, even though the mirror doesn't show up.

They have bunch of download mirrors. Usualy you use one as preffered but you can:
1. change it any time when downloading;
2. regardles of preffered mirror you could use any other mirror listed at download page by just klicking it.

Added a patch for German and other languages to SourceForge. Link (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1582239&group_id=173941&atid=867362)

*.isl files
If you want to overwrite one or two messages, you can do it from custom_messages.iss. Leaving it in compiler directory should be better because Inno set up will be updated. I copied Japanese.isl because Inno setup does not include it.
*.rtf files
*rtf are not included because your svn client thinks they are binary files.

Well, I edited 20 - maybe more, maybe less - messeges. Should I really do this in custom_messages.iss?

Anyway, I uploaded the *.rtf files separately.

Well, it's hard but better to do it in custom_messages.iss, I think. It will make clear where you edited and it's important.

[clsid]

If you are modifying german.isl, then maybe it is best to submit those changes to the InnoSetup creators.

[Eragon4ever]

If you are modifying german.isl, then maybe it is best to submit those changes to the InnoSetup creators.

I'll do so sometimes next week due to a lack of time.

P.S. A typo in ffdshow_installer.iss:
Name: "ge"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\German.isl" should be
Name: "de"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\German.isl"
I don't want to make a patch just for this now.

[Amour]

added patch for French InnoDB.

[clsid]

I have updated both German and French translations.

[foxyshadis]

If you don't update custom_messages.iss, they'll most likely get accidentally overwritten with the next inno update anyway. Or at least anyone who updates will always have to keep it in mind.

No, mirror selection was broken the last day or two. Some weirdness related to updating the site with new code. Fixed today though.

[regeszter]

Hi,

may I ask for two feature? I like to see on OSD the preset name and girder template for audio part (there is girder template for video part).

Thanks

[BlindWanderer]

Feature Request :D
And a bug :(

Two checkboxs on the Resize module config:

Resize with SAR consideration. (resize the video so the output after SAR is applied, will be what was requested, either the size (not exactly sure how this would work) or aspect ratio).
Aspect ratio resize subtracks (instead of adding blackspace).


Goal:
You see, i have some video I want to play on my desktop (M$ video Screensaver & Vital Desktop (http://vital-desktop.sourceforge.net/). Trouble is the video has a non 1:1 SAR. This means i cannot cut the video to the aspect ratio of my screen (which is 5:4) and maintain the videos SAR. It's driving me nuts.

Bug:
When using the overlay mixer & hw deinterlacing, it sometimes doesn't deinterlace.
I've found changing the aspect ratio on the overlay mixer to anything then back to default gets deinterlacing to work. It would be good if there were a checkbox to do this workaround automaticaly. If you set the aspect ratio to that of the SAR and back to default it wouldn't be noticeable.

Where I can find an x64 build of ffdshow with x64 installer? 32-bit installer registers vfw frontend in the 32-bit part of registry :( so it isn't work for VirtualDub.

[Liisachan]

It's not from those recent ffdshow-tryouts, but celtic_druid compiled ffdshow64-rev2546.exe (http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffdshow/ffdshow64-rev2546.exe), dated 2006-05-17. 2546 is the newest rev by milan, i.e. original ffdshow.

[Romario]

Well, I am sure that drevil_xxl or haruhiko_yamagata CAN compile 64-bit build from tryout builds, based on revision 454.

[cc979]

I've found something out when playing a svq3 file with ffdshow I get colour corruption which is known, but if use nv21 output the colour corruption is gone

[TFM_TheMask]

New bug:

From version 420 the AC3 output is broken. For example when I want to encode an AAC audio file to AC3 using the Filewriter filter the ffdshow audio decoder filter can't connect to the Filewriter. Older versions work OK.

Attached the graph from the older versions when it still works and the settings used.

This bug was found during the fixing of the AAC to AC3 distortion bug.

Is "Use ovelay mixer" checked? Is not it in intermediate state?

[haruhiko_yamagata]

I installed Vista RC1 yesterday.
makeAvis.exe does not start in windows Vista.

// EDIT
Oops! Excuse me.
I just forgot to install avisynth. It works.

[BlindWanderer]

Is "Use ovelay mixer" checked? Is not it in intermediate state?

I have it in the intermediate state (grey/green; depends who's compile i'm using).

I have two nv 7900GT in SLi mode, running 91.47 of the nvidia drivers (i could run 92.91, but i've had some problems with it).

If it is intermediate state, it's expected.
To force hardware deinteracing, check "Use overlay mixer".
The problem is not the code, but the name of the check box and documentation.

[BlindWanderer]

I keep a close eye on the change log, and noticed a "restart replace for libmpeg2_ff.dll" for revision 458.

I hate rebooting my system. I like the "file is locked" dialog box. Usualy when a file is locked with the ffdshow installer, it's because of explorer or some media player.

I checked the "Use overlay mixer" box in "output" (was intermediate); still isn't deinterlacing until i change the overlay aspect ratio (changing any other aspect of the size is enough to trigger deinterlacing as well).

Restart replace is flaged for many other dlls and ax too. See rev 430.
Reboot is required only when file is locked. If you check "Don't use ffdshow in"-"explorer.exe", it is rarely required.
If it is locked by explorer.exe, we can't install ffdshow unless we reboot or log off. Or do you instruct beginers to use task manager and quit explorer.exe? Beginers don't know what to do against "file is locked" message.
If it is locked by some media player, the installer will find libmplayer.dll is locked earlier, and warn user to quit the applicatin, thus no problem.

In Windows vista, explorer.exe still lock ffdshow.ax and libmpeg2_ff.dll and never releases. I made "Don't use ffdshow in"-"explorer.exe" default because of this issue. clsid, I don't think it is good to remove explorer.exe from black list in Windows Vista.

It may be bug of nvidia's driver. Please test MPC's internal MPEG2 decoder. Double click the decoder in MPC's dialog and you'll see "Set interlaced flag in output media type". Enable it and try. If failed, please report the bug to nvidia.

I've had explorer still lock ffdshow dispite being on the blacklist. I have no fear of killing it. :devil: but then i'm an old windows registry hacker; nothing scares me. I would not recommend a new user kill explorer.

I won't mind being prompted with a box that said something like "the file is locked, do you want to: [replace on reboot] [try again] [ignore] [cancel]"

It doesn't surprise me it's not reproducible.
Maybe a checkbox that sets the aspect ratio of the overlay mixer to that of the SAR on the output tab would be enough?

(i forgot to hit post)

[BlindWanderer]

It may be bug of nvidia's driver. Please test MPC's internal MPEG2 decoder. Double click the decoder in MPC's dialog and you'll see "Set interlaced flag in output media type". Enable it and try. If failed, please report the bug to nvidia.

Will do.
But how do i get it to do the deinterlacing at the hw side?
(i thought MPC's deinterlacing was handled exclusively internaly in software)

Not all the revisions get built. I don't think any of those got built. 404 is the last i know of before 420.

[haruhiko_yamagata]

I won't mind being prompted with a box that said something like "the file is locked, do you want to: [replace on reboot] [try again] [ignore] [cancel]"

Inno setup does not support the feature. It's too hard to code that logic.
