FFDShow 1.3.4534 reviews

I can't think of any flaw except some limitation on styled sub... This codecs play just about everything, it's pretty easy to setup yet very configurable if you wish to do.

@sid stop talking bullnuts.

I was just trying to play an MPEG video, went to search for the codecs,I didn't intend to make a movie or make money from it, got to this site. It said freeware very boldly, when installed it, it forced me to register, when I go to register, it asks me for some big money.
Isn't this a con firm? Just waisted my precious lunch hour at work. Now if I possibly wanted to buy this in the future, I surely won't buy it from this firm.

Works great. I downloaded it and everything works just fine now. I had some problems with my ac3 audio and mpeg (video) files, but after this, everything can be played that comes from my cam corder. Amazing!

The codec works fine and my card is able to decode H.264, DXVA only doesn't work when I use my monitor's native resolution of 2048x1152. If I set it to 1920x1080 it works fine however the image isn't as sharp outside of MPC so I have to switch the res back and forth.

I think this is a problem with this specific card at this resolution, so I don't know if the FFDshow coders can do anything about it :/

It works great at 1920x1080 though, really takes the stress off my CPU.

The DXVA feature only works with hd3850 cards and "higher" types as far as I know @ KEZIA.
Take a look here:

I got an ATI HD3850 (AGP!) and I can decode several H264 1080p videos even simultaneously, without any performance-loss. So FFDSHOW really kicks a** in my opinion! ;)

So, by the way, will there be a feature to EN-code H264 videos with DXVA in the coming FFDSHOW-Builds? 'Cuz that would be god-like...

@Bill

There is a silent switch for FFDShow; since it is an INNO installer, it uses
/VERYSILENT /SP-

Excellent codec, however DXVA doesn't work with my ATI HD3650 when my resolution is set to 2048x1152 (my Samsung's native resolution). If this could be fixed in the next release I'd be very appreciative :)

I think this is a problem with ATI cards + 2048x1152 resolution.

excelente bo! ;) me solucion├│ para 3 series distintas con 3 problemas distintos de codecs

GRACIAS

There is a sound problem with high definition H.264 ts files from the Humax iHDR-5050C. The sound is not synchronously. The high definition video is very good now, without stuttering! See for a Humax iHDR-5050C H.264 file here (Humax 1.ts)

does not work with Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC)

excellent decoder, i use it for years,Haali+FLVsplitter.ocx(from guliverkli project)+FFDShow and only WM Player. perfect combination. only want to ask is where an implementation of libavcodec wrapped as media foundation decoder and not DShow?????
because on VISTA .mp4 & .MKV thumbnail are not available.

Now that the SSE (2009-04-09) version supports SSE 4.1, my encoding speeds have drastically improved! An encode that took 1 hr. 5 min. now takes 45 min.! (And that's at 3.5 GHz; at 3.83 GHz the same encode took 54 min. with the previous version!)

Good software, but needs an automated install, something like a /s or /q so it can be run and installed silently on large numbers of computers by a software distribution system.

ES GENIAL!!!!
El codec fddshow es sin lugar a dudas el mejor codec del mundo, ESO SI; DEBES SABER CONFIGURARLO PARA APROVECHAR TODO SU PODER, el codec fddshow es controvertido porque algunos dicn que no sirve y otros, como yo, dicen que esto es una obra de arte del software....
Sin lugar a dudas si tu decides probar con este codec pero sabes muy poco de informatica pues mas que seguro que TENDRAS PROBLEMAS, pero si tu dominas la multimedia, sabes sobre formatos de video y sabes sobre codec pues EL FDDSHOW NO TIENE COMPETENCIA EN EL MUNDO
El fddshow te permite SIN INSTALAR NI UN CODEC MAS, reproducir en tu pc videos MOV, DIVX, MPG2, Real Media, 3GP, MP4, FLV y un largo etc.. ES INCREIBLE!!!! todos los formatos incluso te permite mejorar su calidad considerablemente
OJALA ALGUN DIA PREMIEN A SU CREADOR y espero que el fddshow continue con su desarollo pues practicamente cada mes sacan una nueva version...

necesarios para convertir videos, gracias a todos
