I don't mean to sound really stupid, but what does this do for me that the current 10.1 video player doesn't do?


- mts1 - 2011-05-05

Well, almost the same question. Or how to make this build using FFDShow filter?

Will give you access to ffdshow/mpc and their superior playback qualities.

You just need ffdshow installed, either without mpc-hc's standalone codec registered or (if mpc-hc's standalone codec is registered) the directshow merit for ffdshow set higher.

dscodec will then automatically use ffdshow.

Mmm. Not clear. Do I have to have mpc-hc's standalone codecs or it is optional?

It's optional. Basically if you want to use ffdshow, just make sure you don't have any of mpc's standalone codecs registered. Thats the easy way.

Thanks.
Although I do have FFDShow I'll double check it's merit and mpc's codecs existence.

DScodec support post-processing options, right? Nvidia Edge Enhancement for example, right?

I think thath DVDPlayer doesn't support any postprocessing option (in driver's control panel).

Regards.

As long as you're using dxva, then the nvidia postprocessing should apply. Same goes for normal dvdplayer.

Well, no luck. I can't make XBMC use FFDShow.
Let's try from another side. I've downloaded and installed the following file: XBMCSetup-20110430-caa7295-dx_video.exe. Is that correct one?

Thanks tiben, your work is awesome.

Frankly, you don't need "red/green lines to see if you have judder or not"... or tearing for that matter... if you have them, you will know because the picture anomalies will drive you absolutely crazy because you see them. And if you don't see noticeable, apparent glitches, then don't worry about it. Really it's that simple. Let your eyes be the judge, not some digital tool...

Would like to know this too, download links are broken..

I got the one you mentioned working, try setting your ffdshow "DirectShow Control" Merit higher.

Also this is the version of ffdshow I used, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/SVN%20builds%20by%20XhmikosR/MSVC2010%20builds/ffdshow_rev3817_20110412_xhmikosr_MSVC2010.exe/download

Thanks tiben20 for the great work.

I am also having the same issue. I did download the XBMCSetup-20110430-caa7295-dx_video.exe, latest ffdshow tryout and installed them in my machine. I made MPC-HC to work with ffdshow, but when I run the XBMC it still uses the internal codec. The internal codec couldn't handle mpeg2 movies and m2ts movies properly (toomuch video artifacts). The same videos plays very well in MPC. I would really appreciate any help in making the ffdshow to work with XBMC (any config file to tinker with?? Changing ffdshow "DirectShow Control" Merit higher didn't fix it).

ENV: Windows 7 64bit
ffdshow 64bit

Here is the error message I see in the log file.

For my part, I have always problems with image tearing with this xbmc version. As MCP is the only one to use DXVA without tearing, I gave a higher merit to their codec but XBMC always tells me that ffdshow-DXVA (and still tears image ).

Do you see the ffdshow application on the taskbar when you launch/play movie in XBMC? For me, I don't see it with XBMC but it comes up when i use Media player classic.

I don't know how hard it is to use DSPlayer (haven't tried it before). I am planning to give it a try until this one matures. Have you tried DSPlayer before?
