It is powerful and it delivers great performance, both as a codec and as a post-processing tool.
#FFDSHOW RAW VIDEO FILTER SOFTWARE#
To conclude, FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder has all the qualities of a reliable software tool: incredibly lightweight, highly customizable, easy to use, system resources-friendly, and, as a decoding application, it supports a great variety of formats. The set up process is highly customizable and you have a very large options list.įFDShow’s features are truly complex and this virtual item supports other formats and standards as well: Xvid, DivX 4, DivX 5, DivX 6, DivX 7, DivX 8 MSMPEG4v2, MSMPEG4v1 WMV1/7, WMV2/8 HuffYUV in YV12 colorspace H263, H263+, H264 MP3, AC3, DTS, E-AC3, AAC and many others. Installation takes seconds and you can choose which components to deploy (VFW interface, DXVA video decoder, AviSynth scripts serving and application plugins for AviSynth and VirtualDub). Id done a lot of searches, but AFAIK ffdshow is the only DirectShow filter that can provide the video being played as an Avisynth clip (ffdshowsource), am I correct One alternative is Daum PotPlayer, which basically has the ffdshows Avisynth (AND VapourSynth, good job) built in.
#FFDSHOW RAW VIDEO FILTER CODE#
It improves the visual quality of low bitrate movies due to its post-processing code from MPlayer. In order to perform video decompression, it uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project. You can find out such information about your CPU by using a small tool, named Cpu-Z.įFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder is based on the original DirectShow filter from XviD, a GPL'ed implementation of MPEG4 encoder. How can I set up keystone correction in VLC If this is not a supported feature, has anyone had any experience writing an add-on filter for VLC If so, links/examples would be very appreciated Th. Nevertheless, the application only runs on computers with CPU’s supporting MMX (MultiMedia eXperience) instructions. If your CPU though becomes overloaded, this tool will reduce post-processing automatically. The main advantage of this video decoder is the low amount of resources it consumes, even when performing its most complex tasks. Please if you can explain where ffdshow should and need to be used, it would be a great help to me, I'm just trying to find the best settings for playing my movies.One of the best "codec packs" on the market, FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder is also used for post-processing video streams. Is this true? Can I disable ffdshow and just leave LAV Splitter, LAV Audio Decoder and LAV Video Decoder? I was told that ffdshow is a post processing filter for software decoding, and that if I use DXVA, then ffdshow is not needed. My other question is about ffdshow, I set it as the video filter according to Maken's guide for SVP, but I stopped using SVP due to the very high CPU load, and also because with DXVA I get similar results with less performance hit to the CPU. Is there an actual difference in quality between these two? With the built in decoder it says "DXVA".Īlso, my input is YUY2 and output is NV12 12 bits, whereas with the built in decoder the input is AVC1 and the output is YUY2 16 bits. However, with LAV as the Video Decoder there is no indication of DXVA in the Video Codec, it just says "LAV Video Decoder". I tried using LAV Video Decoder and selected Native DXVA, it seems to be working, GPU load is higher, and this is what I got: This is with the built in FFMpeg decoder. If I enable DXVA Copy Back mode, it then works: until i include the colour space conversion in the theora filter. At the moment that is probably the only option. So, I tried using standard DXVA: If I try using Native DXVA in PP, it doesn't work, and the codec being used is the built in FFMPpeg codec: I found that the ffdshow raw video filter should be able to do this >conversion (although Id like to have no dependencies other than Theora and >Speex). I have an issue with CUDA, whenever I try to select CUDA as the video decoder under built in filter settings or within LAV Video Decoder, I can't play a movie, the video will start playing and then freeze. Video Decoder: Built In FFMpeg/LAV Video Decoder I have a question about my PotP config, currently it's configured as following:
