LAV codecs

Post by Triplefun »

If you are running Vista or W2K3 (WHS v1) then the LAV codecs are all you need - see 0.51.1 which was released on 10Jul2010 and can be found here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191. I use them on a headless WHS v1 server with no hw acceleration (the Q9400 CPU handles HD transformations with no stuttering). This latest release has fixed a lot of problems with audio and removes the need to wait for Shark007, Klite or CCCP updates. The quality of the pircture and sound is magnificent. They also work well with the FFmpeg video player.

Latest improvements include:

LAV Splitter
- Increased IO responsiveness on high-latency network connections
- Improved timestamp handling for MPEG-PS (.mpg/.vob/.evo)
- Improved support for H264 streams in SSIF MPEG-TS files
- Added an option to control the priority of audio streams for the hearing/visually impaired
- Added new flags to the advanced subtitle selection
- "h" for hearing impaired
- "n" for normal streams (no flags)
- "!" NOT operator for inverting the meaning of the flags

LAV Video
- Improved DXVA2 Native to software fallback in some situations
- Support for YCgCo to RGB conversion
- Added a new smart Stream Aspect Ratio mode
- Will only use Stream AR when the container does not provide a realiable AR

LAV Audio
- Improved decoding performance of MP4 ALS and a few other formats
- Fixed playback of COOK with the MPC-HC RM Splitter
- Auto A/V Sync is now automatically disabled on pure-audio files to avoid potential conflicts
- Audio Down-Mixing support
