Notes:
Re-written Installer:
I finally got around to cleaning up the Installer and basically re-creating it from scratch.
As a consequence, it now does all the special tasks required to properly register a Splitter in the system, and the LAVSplitter.ax itself does not do it anymore.
This means that just registering LAVSplitter.ax will no longer change any registry settings and is perfectly safe to do. The only thing it still does is allow playback of Blu-ray bdmv/mpls files, but in a entirely non-destructive way.
This also means that just registering LAVSplitter.ax may not allow you to play back all files, at least not in all players. MPC-HC is probably fine (if you add it to preferred filters), other players may not be. I recommend using the Installer! (unless you really know what you\'re doing)
I may also separate the Installer into 32-bit and 64-bit in the future, i have not decided on that yet (this would also mean that the settings get separated between the two versions)
Support for Streaming Protocols:
I added experimental support for a few streaming protocols, specifically RTSP, RTP and MMS.
I tested the feature on alot of streams i could find around the web, as well as against VLC streaming over my local network, and it was working OK\'ish (better for some formats, worse for others). I still consider this feature highly experimental, so try it if you wish, but don\'t expect too much.
To use it, you need to use the Installer (or resort to manual registry hackery), even with MPC-HC.
I have not tested it in any other players.
To use it, just install it and open a rtsp://, rtp:// or mms:// URL.
Random Dithering:
In the past, the complaint occasionally came up that ordered dithering has a too static pattern, which makes it visible in certain situations. This is especially bad with cheap LCD displays (6-bit TN panels), which typically also use ordered dithering - and doing ordered twice results in serious artifacting.
To avoid these issues, i implemented random dithering, which instead of a static pattern uses a randomly generated buffer to dither the pixels, resulting in no visible patterns (unless the RNG is having fun with you)
I decided to make this the new default mode for dithering. Performance should be the same as ordered.
Other changes:
Everything else is pretty standard changes, a bit improved format support, some new formats, bugfixes across the board.
PS:
v210 decoding is off by default because its a raw format, and needs to be turned on.
Upcoming is a big ffmpeg update. I haven\'t updated for a while now because i didn\'t want to \"inherit\" any new bugs before the release, so a lot of changes have already piled up, hoping nothing breaks.
As always, please report regressions as detailed as you can, with sample files or other relevant proof.
LAV Filters v0.47
Package Includes:
-LAV Splitter v0.47
-LAV Splitter x64 v0.47
-LAV Audio Decoder v0.47
-LAV Audio Decoder x64 v0.47
-LAV Video Decoder v0.47
-LAV Video Decoder x64 v0.47
Changes in v0.47
LAV Audio:
-Fixed seeking in COOK audio with the MPC-HC RealMedia splitter
LAV Video:
-New DXVA2 \"native\" decoder (see release notes)
-Updated Intel QuickSync decoder and tweaked configuration (0.28, r41)
-Overall performance improvements
-Multi-threaded decoding for Fraps
-Fixed a regression that resulted in only single-threaded playback on certain H264 files
-Fixed a crash in the CUVID decoder introduced in 0.46 under certain circumstances
This version includes a big ffmpeg update. Two of the libraries have been renamed, so you might want to check that no duplicates remain.
DXVA2 Native:
This works like any other DXVA2 decoder, with the same limitations, and probably the same performance - but it completes the set of decoders available, and concludes the series of HW decoders.
It seems to work reasonably well with NVIDIA and ATI, but has some bugs with Intel. Sandy Bridge users are commended to stick to the QuickSync decoder, and all previous Intel generations should probably stick with the Microsoft DXVA decoder.
Other changes:
All other changes are of the usual kind, performance tweaks and bug fixes, yet another updated Intel decoder .. nothing breathtaking.
Now that DXVA2 development is concluded, i hope to be able to start on new features entirely.
