When i try to install ffdshow 12 2005 sse file i get the "error while registering ffdshow.ax" error and this is driving me nuts as there seam to be no fix available or atleast the root cause of the problem is not known..
any help will be greatly appriciated... :(

Just note:
ffdshow 2006-02-26 is a useless update, because the latest version in CVS is 2006-01-27

This was a nice and fast build.
For the ones getting the:
Error opening file for writing:
C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax

should try to close windows explorer when runinig the installer.

I do still have the explorer crash by the libavcodec, so it would be nice to se a fix or to know if there is any solution to this.

> Error opening file for writing:
> C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax

close any program that may be using the file video players, gspot, etc.

if you can't manually delete that file, something has it open.

AC3 codec conflict or something. Makes this wierd buzzing.

I assume this is a good program but because I cannot even get it to install I cannot say anything.

Right from the off I get the message as follows:

Error opening file for writing:

C:\Program Files\ffdshow\ffdshow.ax

Any heads up on how I can further the installation procedure...

Do somebody know where ffdshow will support for MPL2 subtitles format? or give me an email to developers I'll write to them.

i've uninstalled the old version of course! the new version 2006-02-03 doesn't give this error while installing.

You need to uninstall the old one first!

20060126 install doesn't finish here:

"Fehler bei Registrierung von ffdshow.ax" ("Error at registering ffdshow.ax" or so ...)

20060123 works.



Latest installers (20060123 & 20060126) still show ffdshow-20051216 at the titlebar ...

Playing of .wmv causes players crash in module libavcodec. Only one unaffected player is Windows Media Player. After switchback from 2006-01-23 to 2005-12-21 problem dissappears.

Sempron3000(Sock.939), WindowsXP.

The same goes for the standard build
Resize-sharpen broken

The resize-sharpen in the sse build is broken.
Its values are a kind of tenfolded.

The best decoder i've ever seen. This is the only one, which can works on my 366 Mhz Pentium II with proper frame rate.

This is confusing s**t i dont get how to use it what so ever where do i go to get step by step instructions on how to use this program

im still having problems with
using hypercam Voding a game resolution 640x480 BW/SC

the VOD.avi or mgp made comes out n/geen/white/black, I`ve tried all codec swaped video card upped all harware and ram to 1024MB

i give up!

it's great! keep it comin' guys!

This release 2005-12-21 and the former one have a bug with 5.1 muxing to SPDIF output

It was working until 2005-12-08 release

Works great on XP. Yet, the install has issues with Windows Vista Beta. Currently running with the latest beta release and the install fails. Lookslike it has issues with the new Limited User security features. If the developers of this package are reading this please verify this stuff works on Vista ASAP. Thanks and great job! This is the first video codec I install after installing a new machine.

After the installation, realplayer still plays mp4 files as audio files only.

This doesn't seem to work!

audio problems with 2005-11-07 build:

with mp3 input: many fast crackles at both channels (left channel crackles are a bit louder)

with 32bit float wav input: periodically crackles at the left channel only


with dithering enabled: only noise (sounds like high sine tones) coming out ....


tested on a p4 (disabling cpu-features didn't help) with 16bit output.

build from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm

build 2005-11-05 was fine!

Who is updating the ffdshow builds now? I haven't seen their names in the latest 2-3 updates so far. By the way, any chance someone can list the nicks updating the ffdshow builds. I need to figure out which nick I get updates from.

THIS IS PROBABLY A REALLY GREAT PIECE OF SOFTWARE; LOOKING AT ALL THE MILLIONS OF OPTIONS ON IT'S USER INTERFACE; BUT CONSIDERING THE FACT IT OPENS EXTERNALLY TO ANY OF MY PLAYERS (Div X and WinVideo), and plus the fact that i am not a video professor or geek, then it doesn't help me at all as my DivX still says not recognise four cc mpeg4 code..so obviously i have to set all the options up right and then do something that no-one told me to export the codecs to DivX player! it does have an export button, but does not indicate in which folder to export, and also how to set up all the codec options on it's interface...CONFUSING to say the least! Something for Whiz Kids i reckon.

Any version compiled with the Intel compiler is useless for AMD users, because SSE optimizations are turned off automatically unless you use a GenuineIntel chip.

Is it just me or do none of the recent versions work with TMPGEnc. I tried every version back to 20050312 and with every one past 20050527 I get the "can not open or unsupported" message.

im getting a .mp4 film off the internet now and im wondering if this will allow me to play it

Finally I can watch the videos I couldn't watch before.

i dont know but this thing cant decode videos with h264 and i download an external codec that makes a relative good work

It (the Jan and Feb builds) caused a strange bug with my Office Assistant in Off XP(it couldn't close without a BIG BAD WARNING WINDOW). Has this been solved??? Reverting to 20041012 solved the problem.. But..?

Latest CVS has broken luminance level fix.

The "Luminance" and "Full Luma range"
under: "Postprocessing/Mplayer/Level Fix" has been
broken in CVS dated "2005-02-04". :((

The Level Fix doesn't work at all in this version.

este es el mejor codecs(tanto como encoder como decoder) de divx-xvid que he usado, es rapido, consume muy pocos recursos, esta en varios idiomas(incluido el Español), trae muchas opciones para configuralo para sacarle el mayor rendimiento, no trae programas espia ni nada por el estilo y ademas es gratis.
Tambien es capas de encodiar otros formatos aparte del divx-xvid. codecs como este y ademas gratis casi no se ven hoy en dia, les recomindo que se lo bajen y una ves que lo prueben nunca lo van a dejar.

low processor power usage. can work with other codes. still need to install splitter tough. i like the luminance deblock system.

Actually we are looking for MPEG4 support. We have seen FFDSHOW as a great utility but the absence of MPEG-4 splitter makes it unable for use. Does anyone know if:
1. There is any splitter available for the same. If yes, can you forward the site or reference of the same.
2. Can we use any other filter in addition to FFDSHOW.
3. If FFDSHOW is available with filter then we would like to know about its licensing/term and conditions to buy it.

Thanks,
Ajit

Excellent software.
I tried Koepi's and one or two others, but this is the only one which payed the video I was trying to watch, and also a few video's made by past xvid codecs. Fair due's to the author(s) of this codec; well done! :)

Thought sure this MPEG4 I recently purchased in Russia was not useable on my system when Kim Komando mentioned your site for transferring data from DVDs. Absolutely worked without a hitch and I relived 90 minutes in St.Petersburg. Great software!
