Just FYI: I have switched to using MPUI which is just a frontend for MPlayer to play most of my video files. MPUI is only 3mb and two files, and plays almost anything. And I use XMPlay for my music, because its very light, fast, and plays mod and spc fomats. I keep links to both of these programs in my sig if your interested

That said, CoRoNe's filterpack is an excellent pack

FULL uA: http://rapidshare.de...2_FULL.exe.html

LITE uA: http://rapidshare.de...2_LITE.exe.html

dude, whats the difference between lite & full? wats included & wats not?

Ok, take it easy. I suggest you take a look at the first post in this topic. There you'll find a link to my site (or you can click on the link in my signature), with (hopefully) all the information you need.

Corone, having trouble playing back .M2V files. I use MPC + Your Pack + FFDShow, but I still had to install a separate MPEG2 codec just to playback an encode of mine.

Quote

• Gabest - MPEG Splitter 1.0.0.2 (09022006)
Capable of splitting MPEG1/2 files (MP(E)G, VOB, M2V, DAT, TS, TP, etc.).

I have the full DS pack installed, my m2v file needed the separate codec like I mentioned. Any ideas?

[CoRoNe]

Ah, thx. Guess I was a little too eager with this description.
For M2V you will still need to standard MPEG-2 Splitter (C:\WINDOWS\system32\mpg2splt.ax).
The MPV Video Decoder is fully capable of decoding these files though.
Perhaps you removed the standard MPEG-2 Splitter with nLite, Jeremy.
* removed "M2V" from Gabest - MPEG Splitter 1.0.0.2 description

[edit]Btw Jeremy, if you're using Media Player Classic, in most cases you wouldn't even need my DSFP because most of the splitters are already included within MPC.[/edit]

Well, I do use it, but the .M2V file I tried to play, MPC says "could not render file".

[ZileXa]

M2v plays here on MPC (without DSFP). the gabest splitter is build into MPC.

1 tip, 1 thought:

The Tip,
With the Audio and Video Configuration of FFDshow you are able to export the settings. So I modded my settings just like your site says, merged the two .reg files (when exporting from Audio Configuration it will save a .reg file, dito for Video Configuration) and uploaded it for you. You can modify the .bat Installer so that it will apply the default recommended settings for Ffdshow by running the .reg file silently.


The Thought,
I actually didn't use the pack, cos I use MediaPlayerClassic to play all video and Winamp for audio.
BUT then I thought of this: if mp3/audioCD/Wave/Ogg/AAC files would be played through Ffdshow, I would be able to add DSP effects (check the audio config).

So now my Question, If I enable in ffdshow mp3, ogg etc, and I play an ogg vorbis music file in MediaPlayerClassic, will it use ffdshow (and the DSPeffects I added)? or will it still use MPC?
Would I need to uncheck ogg in Mpc or something for this?


1 minor question: if I already have msvcr71.dll in system32 folder, do I need to have it in the Ogg splitter folder? (if I would use the pack I'd like to know.)


EDIT:
Although I use WinAMP for Audio and MPC for video, MPC is so light and fast I also want it to be able to play a song sometimes.
I only use your Oggsplitter (cos its better then the one in MPC), Flac (cos otherwise no flacsupport in mpc/other apps) and Shoutcast (cos I think MPC doesnt have shoutcast support), so I added this to my RunOnceEx:
REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 3 /D "REGSVR32.EXE /s "CoreFLACDecoder.ax"" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 4 /D "REGSVR32.EXE /s "ShoutcastSource.ax"" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\021 /V 5 /D "REGSVR32.EXE /s "RLOgg.ax"" /f
And I use the DirectShowFilterManager.exe
All 4 files will be unpacked later during RunOnceEx to my system32 folder.

Although I respect your input, I don't think that would be such a good idea. If I would include a reg-file for FFDShow that would mean it would be imperative to install FFDShow prior to installing my DSFP. Also, I don't like the idea of forcing people to use those FFDShow settings. It should be their choice whether they want to use "Volume Normalization" or "Postprocessing" or not. And concerning the media types; I know you can enable or disable the FFDShow media types with reg-files, but since not everyone is using the same exact version of FFDShow I'm also not sure what to think of this either. I'll think about it.

It's as simple as this: If you enable the integrated splitter/decoder filters in MPC it will use these. If you disable the integrated splitter/decoder filters in MPC it will use others fit for the job. (When I use MPC, I always have most of the integrated decoder filters disabled, this way I can enjoy Volume Normalization from FFDShow for low-volume AC3 sound for instance).

It would seem you're still using an old version of my DSFP, since I'm not including the RadLight OGG Splitter anymore. But anyway, with that splitter the msvcr71.dll file was included, because the splitter is made with .NET Framework I guess, so if someone didn't have Framework installed, with the dll-file the splitter would still work.

P.s. "I only use your Oggsplitter (cos its better then the one in MPC)".
If so, could you tell why you think this RadLight OGG Splitter is better than the one from Gabest? Because, like I said, I don't use the one from RadLight anymore.

Update: DirectShow FilterPack 2.1

[nestul]

Thank you for your pack. I am waiting for your "tweak guide", I hope it will be soon

P.S: I want to learn quite more about splitters, filters... from the beginning, but I have not enough time for searching, reading and selecting. Can you suggest any place or something else which has all I need and no more?

Thanks.

[CoRoNe]

Thank you for your pack
You're welcome.

I am waiting for your "tweak guide", I hope it will be soon
Yeah well, I'm still not sure whether I should finish this or not.
Some time ago by reading the Tactical Ops forums I discovered people were really interested in having a tweak-guide for them to get as much out of the old Unreal Tournament engine as possible. At the moment there are 2 threads you can take a look into:
- Tweaks, tweaked ini's and tips for everyone
- INI Updates
Although these will give you some information into how to tweak your TO installation, it's far from being enough.
The first thread the guy explains some things about how to clean your computer from spyware and such, but furthermore he just hands out some personal tweaked ini-files and most people just use them like that. Well that's pretty stupid, because tweaks are very personal and computer hardware/computer configuration dependant. I've also looked into these ini's shortly and there were quite some things that were far from optimum.
But the thing I'm really concerned about is the fact Tactical Ops: Crossfire has been released for UT2004.
You see TO is quite old, in fact, it's dying. And I'm not quite sure if it's worth all the effort to release a tweak-guide because of these reasons.

P.S: I want to learn quite more about splitters, filters...
At the moment the only links I quickly found are:
- http://en.wikipedia....wiki/DirectShow
- http://www.inmatrix....player/formats/
- http://www.inmatrix....erinstall.shtml
- http://www.videohelp...?tool=GraphEdit
- http://www.illiminab.../graphedit.html

Good luck.

There is a problem with "DirectShow FilterPack 2.1 (Unattended)*", it complains that the DSFP_Inst.bat file is missing, I'm assuming there's a problem with the argument for the path or something (requires quotes because of the space maybe?)...

[CoRoNe]

Then I guess you must have done something wrong, because all the needed files are present in the archive, including the DSFP_inst.bat. I've shortly tested this stuff before putting it online and I didn't have any problems.
What exactly do you mean by "requires quotes because of the space"? What space?

Yes I know that all the files are in the archive, I ended up using 7-zip to extract the files and launching DSFP_inst.bat from runonce. All I'm saying is that on my systems, executing the unattended file (double click, from command prompt, from runonce, etc.) results in the error message about missing DSFP_inst.bat.

Update: DirectShow FilterPack 2.2

[AndrewW]

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have just finished downloading and installing both DirectShow FilterPack and ffdshow.

I have don't have a lot of experience with codecs, ect. but have been doing some reading. I downloaded the two listed above in an attempt to play music files I downloaded using azureus/bittorrent. However I have been unsucessful in getting them to play.

The files are songs and have been labeled as mp3 files on my computer. WMP won't play them, even after I dowloaded the two listed above and followed all the installation instructions. Divx also won't play them for me.

Can someone help me with this prolem?

(I have the same problem for a .iso file that I downloaded in the same way.)

Thank you!

ps I got the link to this form from the readme.txt file that came with the DirectShow filter pack.

Hi AndrewW,

Are you sure the DS-filters are installed perfectly? You can check this with "DirectShow Filter Manager." (included with DSFP)
And of course "DivX", in your case, needs to ticked within the FFDShow setup.
Have you also tried to play those files with other (plugin-based)programs?
Do you happen to have a sample of this mp3- and avi-file(DivX)? If so, please pm me so I check them out.
They might even be corrupted for all we know!

For iso-files you'll need an emulation-program like Alcohol or UltraISO, etc.

[Scidd0w]

CoRoNe;

Does the latest filterpack works on Vista? On your site it says XP only so I guess not.
If not, do you have plans to make a Vista compatible version?

[CoRoNe]

I'm sorry Sciddow, but I don't have Windows Vista at the moment, and I'm not planning on using it any time soon (at least not for now).
Ever since my last update there haven't been any updated mediafilters, and as far as I know all of them are primarily created for WinXP.
I just can't tell you, because I don't have Windows Vista. Of course you're free to try them out on Windows Vista

Maybe I'm going to add the DC-Bass Source Filter from DCoder to my DSFP in the next release, but that depends on a couple of things.
This single mediafilter will replace a couple of other filters, which means smaller filesizes in the end. All we can do is wait.

[Scidd0w]

Thank you for your quick reply! I'm sorry to say that I can't test right now. This is a laptop from work with Vista on it.
Once I install Vista on my home pc I can test.
Thank you for the pack though. I'm using it with great pleasure on my XP boxes!
