I think that this is the best @#$%ing codecs to watch or listen anything. Anyway i found that there is something that you guys should check with the subtittles, Please try to fix the subtittles size like vobsub does, i'm actually using vobsub now because the subtittles looks so great!, try to put the same settings as vobsub does and FFDShow will be perfect.

Hi, I use ffdshow from WinXP, for video playback and edition. But now with my Vista32 and 64 in all edition software when I try to compress to h264 or other codec in ffdshow the software crash!!!, is there an issue over this?
I can't find a solution on this with google.

Thanks.

I like ffdshow a lot and it's very useful, but I'm having a little problem.

I had installed ffdshow and could watch any video I wanted but after I uninstalled and reinstalled it I am no longer able to watch mp4.

The player says that the file can't be opened whereas before that I could watch it normally.

What can I do about it.

I tried many versions of the ffdshow but nothing can seem to remedy it.

ok playback issues fixed since last few revisions, had made playback under vista media centre very skippy, it was a combination of nvidia and FFDshow, they werent working together, so u have to d/l the 174.74 beta drivers for vista, for it to work well, also d/l the metroska splitter to work with it and playback is 100% beautifull, after installing these 3 things you will never ever need any codec at all EVER IT PLAYS EVERYTHING with the

No subtitles in VirtualDub! Loading them, then configuring how they should look, and switching back to first dialogue (where u have already loaded them, makes them dissapear, and of course, they dont work!). Previous version (not so sure wich, could be some month ago) worked just fine.

Win XP Pro SP2. Winamp 5.5, Power DVD, WMP 11.

Go back and look at Rev 1508 from 10/05/07, which was more stable than this version. After installing either Rev 1512 or this Rev, video from some AVI's, DVX and mpg2 became unplayable. Others had colors messed up. Uninstalled either 1512 or this newer version, installed 1508 returned full functionality and appropriate color.

I've been using this for donkeys years now, it's never caused any problems. I do a crap load of video encoding and again, never had any problems using FFDshow.
I've installed this on any Pc i've fixed (lots of 'em) and it doesn't cause and issues, AS LONG AS YOU REMOVE RUBBISH CODEC PACKS FIRST!!! If you don't, then you get conflicts and problems.

Directshow filters simply read the file and display what's in it, FFDshow is NOT a codec in the normal sense of Divx/Xvix codecs.

Be sure you download the version that's right for your CPU. I find the MMX version hardly ever works, probably cus MMX is old and most .. SSE is usually the way to go, unless your running an ancient system. You will find it won't even install if its the wrong version. Simply try another.

One computer of 3 accepted it Ok from the start. The rest 2 refused. It turned out to be the difference in Media Player Classic: 6.4.8.6 couldn't load FFv (ActiveX, icon in systray). 6.4.9.0 loaded it Ok.

Still the first computer runs now MP4 in many players (PowerDVD, WMP, InterVideo WinDVD), but some doesn't use FFv (Nero ShowTime, RealPlayer, QT) � perhaps, not allowed in the corresponding list (Options).

The rest 2 � only in MPClassic (don't know why).

I've been using FFDShow for years, but like others here, PowerDVD 7 freaks out playing avi files with it installed. Guess I use MPC to play them instead (though Nero ShowTime plays them okay).

The video decoder has problems decoding many XviD and the most of DivX5 avi files. I think the problem occurs with movies that have 23.976 fps instead of 25.000 fps. The player opens but there is a blanc screen. The slider does not move but if you double click the FFv icon on the tray and go to the Info & CPU tab you can see that the current frame runs with less than 10 fps. This problem also existed with older versions so I thought that it would have been fixed now but it is still there. Does anyone know how can I contact the author?

The audio decoder works well with any format I have tried until now. No problems at all!

When you have that, you don't need anything else.
It can enter in conflicts with any others Codecs you may have such codec packs, Nero etc...
However, you can configure every Codecs in the Interface of FFDShow, if a codec disturb you, you can simply by a few clicks disable it.

For Audio supporting its very nice, it can exploit your Sound Card, such mine is Creative X-Fi, can read at 32 Bits Audio and use your SPDIF.

For Video it recognize all, excepted for DVD.
DVD can be viewed but you can't exploit full features of DVD excepted the Audio, you can use all you need : SPDIF your internal decoding.
For X-Fi users, you can use SPDIF, your sound card will do the rest ;)

Using this on Vista in WMP11, it's amazing video quality of all file types it supports, I honestly haven't seen anything better.

For XP, it looks like total garbage, sorry. color isn't accurate at all, and plus, the quality isn't as sharp and rendering is more blocky than Vista.

With the right OS, its heavenly.

--tested with xvid Real Time with Bill Maher episodes, a 689mb mp4 copy of Pacquiao Vs Solis, and a 700mb 5.1 surround divx movie. All using a 43" Pioneer Plasma.

This is my primary codec and I think it's awesome as, but for some reason this didnt seem to kick in (couldn't playback .flv or .mov files in MPC) so I uninstalled and went back to [2006.10.4] which seems to work fine. I'm on Win Vista Ultimate (fresh).

Power DVD. . . that answers your question right there. Its ment to play dvds (badly too I might add) Get MPC and use it with this.
Fliped video can be corrected in the decoder settings.
Some issues with playback can be other codecs running with ffdshow. More than likely powerdvd or some other app installed crud thats causing the issues. The flipped pic is often another decoder running or some crappy filter set from one of those codec "packs" A few nero codecs are rife with issues. Same goes for "Real" The real audio decoder often causes issue with its "take over" of container types.

Overlays: (cpu usage etc) go into the settings and turn it off. "video decoder config"

older version 2007-02-07 has issue with h264 mkv and mp4 containers skipping cause it to stop decoding. (old return of a earlier bug dependant on how the h264 is packaged I think)
I give it a 4 because of this breaking of h264 when earlier versions it was working.



Vista and audio, Vista has known issues with the audigy cards I suggest you check some of the vista bbs out there.

Usualy works great but there is a bug in Vista with my soundblaster Audigy 2zs i think.My setups is a 3ghz p4, ati x1600 agp, 2gb ram, audigy 2zs, catalyst 7.2 and the current (2nd beta) creative audigy driver. If i have set as default playback device in vista the SPDIF out (and not the "speakers" option) i get correct multichannel dolby prologicII audio if the file has it(usualy xvid videos).If the file has stereo, it starts playing only if i dont touch my pc again, but if i load a new file or skip forward or backwards, i get Bluescreens.
