Great!
But unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to support MPC-HC (with DXVA) or other Cyberlink (HD) filters…

@Reply #1396 from Michael Healy [Reply]

The list of supported filters is a bit weak at the moment but it’s a new offering so hopefully that will be updated with time. CLSid is accepting suggestions for included filters through the Doom9 forums post I believe.

Version 0.7 is available with Arcsoft (TTM) filter support

Thanks, I’ll be sure to check it out and browse around the forums a bit to see if there’s any problems/solutions I could cover.

I just hope you guys n’ gals over there are still listening to the feedback coming in and won’t give up on development of Media Center after the initial release of Windows 7. It really can be a great product with many terrific applications.

This is not fair!

I spent so much time figuring out which registry entries I needed to modify

I’ve joined doom9 , but have the 5 day wait till i can post .

Can someone who does have posting rights ask CLSID to added COREAVC to the options for VC-1 ?

Michael Healy

@Reply #1535 from Michael Healy [Reply]

CoreAVC H.264 is now available for selection in the tool

Tried this in Win 7 x64 to enable ffdshow for all video. Worked for everything except live TV (mpeg for AVI enabled). Looks like ffdshow just won’t work with live TV in Win 7 x64.

Comment #1572 from reeven [Reply]

For Chris Hooper is this fraze;

For LIVE-TV you must select MPEG-2, not MPEG for AVI.
For Live-tv( MPEG_2 in this tool) you must select microsoft, arcsoft, cyberlink 8,9.

Chris Hooper

@Reply #1582 from Chris Hooper [Reply]

But I want to use ffdshow for live TV!!

I like the upscaling filters.

Comment #1577 from Aaron [Reply]

Hm, How do you know if this is working or not?

Michael Healy

@Reply #1578 from Michael Healy [Reply]

First check to make sure that on the next launch of the tool it has retained your settings. Next you can enable system tray icons, if available, and check that the proper decoders are being loaded that way.

I still cannot get this to work. I’ve installed ffdshow_rev2981_20090601_clsid, then launched the DirectShow Filters Tool and set ffdshow as the preferred codec for H.264/AVC, XVID, DIVX, and MPEG-2. After a reboot, the tray icons do not show up when I open any AVI or MPEG files, and GraphEdit shows “MPEG-I Stream Splitter” splitting to “MPEG Audio Decoder” and “MPEG Video Decoder”. What am I missing?

Christian

Comment #1653 from Christian [Reply]

Have the same issue as well. Try to set the permissions on the regkey folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred in order to give you the rights to change there. Havn’t had time to try this but that might be the problem. The app is supposed to do this but apparently is doesn’t always work.

Michael Healy

Comment #1656 from Michael Healy [Reply]

If the tool isn’t setting permissions properly for you there are some instructions to setting them manually inside the Replacing DTV/DVD Decoder without Breaking Live TV guide.

anonim

Comment #1667 from anonim [Reply]

I had already given Administrators Full Control permissions. When I make a change in the tool, I see some of the values in the registry key change too. I ran GraphEdit again on an Xvid file, and this time I saw ffdshow Video Decoder. However, none of the changes I make under Video Decoder Configuration in ffdshow seem to take effect when I play back the file in WMP or 7MC. I tried cropping 400 pixels from the left as well as enabling the OSD menu but to no avail. Under the Codecs submenu, I have the following relevant formats set to libavcodec: DivX 3, H.263 (+), MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG in AVI. What am I missing?

Comment #1670 from ssalsekki [Reply]

So I manually replaced the native Microsoft DTV/DVD decoder to PowerDVD9. I now ran this tool and see that PDVD9 is a choice under MPEG-2 decoder. However, under H.264/AVC decoder only Microsoft is the option. Isn’t PowerDVD9 supposed to be under it?

Christian

@Reply #1677 from Christian [Reply]

I hate when Win 7 behaves this way. Have three setups, two identical (in every aspect) HTPCs and a laptop all with fresh installs of Win 7. Made the exact same changes on all three machines. FFDShow is only picked up by 7MC in one of the HTPCs. I have no explanation for this as they are exactly identical in hardware (down to the very last bit) and software installed. Graph Studio renders the avi file as I want (FFDshow V+A) but not in 7MC. Will have to rename the dll files to get this to work.

anonim

Comment #1687 from anonim [Reply]

Which DLL files are you renaming and to what? If you’re talking about the instructions in
Disable and Replace MS DTV/DVD Decoder, that only applies to live TV. I can’t get ffdshow to work for any AVI files..

ssalsekki

Comment #1733 from ssalsekki [Reply]

if you renamed MP3DMOD.dll, rename it back. I found that this prevented me from playing avi files.

ssalsekki

Comment #1770 from ssalsekki [Reply]

how come i dont see MP3 decoder as an option when i run the tool?

solidsoup

Comment #2328 from solidsoup [Reply]

Does anyone know how to make FFDSHOW default for XVID encoded video? I tried using this tool, but it doesnt help (by the way, I’m running Win7 RTM 64)

Michael Healy

@Reply #2336 from Michael Healy [Reply]

Is FFDShow listed as an option under Xvid in the tool?

pico

Comment #2481 from pico [Reply]

Hi,

I’m having trouble with a Demuxer rather than a codec. The Windows 7 demuxer can’t recognise the audio stream but I have a third party one which works. Is there a way to set it so it uses this demuxer rather than the Windows one?

user29

Comment #2486 from user29 [Reply]

Doesnt work for me on xvid/divx – though works perfectly for mkv.

FFdshow does not kick in for xvid/divx

I am using W7 RTM – maybe I need to give myself rights to the reg keys?

ssalsekki

Comment #2957 from ssalsekki [Reply]

The problem you are experiencing is because the Win7 native codecs are overriding ur ffdshow codecs.
Use the MCDU decoder tool as well to set up the merits. lastly use Radlights filter manager to set ffdshow to the highest merits.
I found renaming MP3DMOD.dll disables the win 7 audio codec so ffdshow audio can be used in place too.

Frank J Garcia

Comment #3953 from Frank J Garcia [Reply]

The installation is failing because of the NT version number. Please, could somebody fix this?!

dmce

Comment #4086 from dmce [Reply]

Hi

I used this to setup ffdshow for xvid, and when i check things in graphstudio it reports ffdshow, but if i play in 7mc it doesnt play at all and in media player it plays the video?

Any help

Chris

@Reply #4285 from Chris [Reply]

Same problem like dmce:

I adjusted to use ffdshow for xvid and divx but MediaPlayer and 7mc does not ffdshow at all.
graphstudio shows it will use ffdshow and when I hit play it uses it.

Any ideas ?

Chris

Comment #4287 from Chris [Reply]

Same problem like dmce

Can someone please help me/us ?

Jerardo

Comment #4487 from Jerardo [Reply]

Same problem here,

I can’t use ffdshow for view xvid on WMP Win7 x64

Michael Healy

Comment #4488 from Michael Healy [Reply]

Are you using the latest version of the tweaker tool? Also, do you have both the 32 and 64-bit ffdshow packages installed (if it applies to your OS)?

Shark007

Comment #4489 from Shark007 [Reply]

If you were to choose to install the Shark007 codecs, there is a SWAP TAB setting for using FFDshow for xvid that i gaurentee to work on all x64 installations.

Pat

@Reply #5596 from Pat [Reply]

I don’t know if this has been fixed yet, but ffdshow on Shark007’s pack disables my MPEG-TS/PS thumbs. I have replicated the issue, and even seen the thumbs working if I run the install without ffdshow! Otherwise it’s brilliant for generating thumbs for other formats. Win7 32bit.

Sorry for the off-topic post :”>

Comment #5005 from JGS [Reply]

Great! Thank you very much for this application. People don’t forget, 32bit programs uses 32bit codes and 64bit programs uses 64bit codecs.
