Do you need any specific codecs? Because otherwise it's definitely not worth installing such a huge codecpack.

I don't think topic hijacking would be appreciated on this forum...Though; The newest MPEG filters from Gabest decode MPEG-2 (svcd/dvd) by default, and for MPEG-1 files the filters from Microsoft still kicks-in. I don't know anything of a "skipping problem" with MP4/M4A files... If you mean file type association; no single media format is associated. I don't know what media player everyone is using.If you have further questions, please post them in the appropriate thread.

Basicly, yes. Of course you're free to use the OGG splitter from Gabest, or Haali's media splitter for your MP4-files, but that's your call.

What do you mean by "support"? For playback/decoding or creation/encoding purposes? For playback purposes all you need is a set of splitters and decoders, and even if you want to creat your own stuff imo you don't even need those big codecpacks. Have you ever heard of commandline-en/decoders? I don't think many people do. Those are simple DOS exe files and with it you're able to create almost any audio file imaginable. It's not the easiest thing to do and understand, but once you got the hang of it you'll love it. There's a beautifull GUI available for these commandliners named Multi frontend. And AutoGK is THE solution for DVD to DivX/XviD conversion, which also comes with the latest XviD codec. What codec does that Klite codecpack have which is really worth looking into then, besides DivX/XivD that is? As for the XP Codec Pack... The XP Codec Pack first of all is 5.57MB, contains the FFDShow Video Decoder, but also contains filters of which FFDShow is already capable of handling. (AC3Filter 1.01a RC5 (liba52 in FFDShow), CoreAAC (AAC DirectShow Decoder) 1.2.0 (libfaad2 in FFDShow), OggSplitter/CoreVorbis 1.1.0.79 (tremor in FFDShow)) And it doesn't make sense putting the RealMedia Splitter 1.0.1.1 into the package when Real Alternative already has one. It's also kinda funny since actually none of the XP Codec Pack's content are codecs, but are all decoders/filters. Because I let FFDShow do almost all the decoding work, my package is just 2MB. To play your music files you don't need those big evil codecpacks to be installed

Why do you need that codecpack at all?

I don't know this Power Video Encoder program of yours, but if you installed the ACM codec it should be listed in the Codecs list afaik: > windows-key+pause, Hardware, Device Manager, Sound, video and game controllers, Audio Codecs. But, the recommended piece of software for DVD to DivX/XviD (also rather Xvid than DivX) would really be AutoGK. Give it a try. I don't think there's anything more simple then this.

see this topic All you need is: -FFDShow -Gabest MPEG Splitter 1.0.0.1 (25112005) -Gabest MPEG Decoder 1.0.0.1 (25112005) (both in cluded in my package) Then you can play DVD's in every DirectShow based media player (WMP, MPC, Zoom Player, etc.)

I'd like to take those words. Yesterday I just tested this function for the first time. I installed WinAMP lite, opened the winamp.q1 into the FFDShow Equalizer, but then...ughum...what happened then sounded pretty bad So please do NOT try this at home folks!

MPC doesn't have its own equalizer, but if you use ffdshow for the decoding part; you can load up WinAMP presets into the ffdshow-equalizer. Playlist > Ctrl+7

Ever since I discovered you aren't able to edit a MP3-tag for instance with a DirectShow program (Zoom Player, MPC) I've been searching the internet for a very simple program like a WinAMP alternative which didn't need to be installed, and so this lead me to XMPlay. This has been a great backup program for me already quite a while. I also still have some GBS-files (GameBoy soundtracks) which I can play with the NEZplug for WinAMP in XMPlay!

I noticed yes, but this was only bugfix version. len0x also told us this would really be the last version, so still no OGG Vorbis for example!

FFV1? After some research (I've never heared about it) I found: I've never encountered this type of media, so I don't know in what kind of container you will face these files, and I very much doubt it has anything to do with the MP4 Splitter; If you want to test the MP4 splitter you should try the test sample I included in the readme, or the QuickTime trailers, or just AAC Audio wrapped in a MP4 container.

If that's so, I was really wondering if you could take a look at Auto Gordian Knot (forum you can find here at Doom9 > "(Auto) Gordian Knot" and "(Auto) Gordian Knot Development")Lately I had some feature-requests I'd really like to see in the next update of AutoGK, but suddenly someone told me len0x has stopped developing AutoGK My question to you is; If you are able to continue where len0x left off with version 2.20? I don't know if you know anything at all about this program, but I'd really like to see: - an option to encode audio to OGG Vorbis > or perhaps a completely different audio encoding method; like how Multi frontend works with the command line exe-files for instance. - MKV and MP4 container output support. - I think many would also welcome H.264 support. - the ability to enter a custom filesize in KB (KiloBytes). At the moment I can't think of something else. Perhaps I'm asking too much

Haha, that's good to hear! Still I'm convinced it shouldn't matter what install-sequence you take.

As far as I know that doesn't matter at all. I also often take this install-sequence

With all my updates, I've tested a lot of different decoders. Everytime instal,uninstal,register,unregister. Somehow my system became pretty messy by doing this all the time, and suddenly I too couldn't split MP4 files anymore. A format fixed this for me, but like you said you're working now on a fresh Windows install...I acctually don't know what to make of this at the moment

Well, this is really weird... In MPC make sure you unticked "MP4" in the Source Filters column on the Filters tab. Furthermore: [Test Files] If you have installed everything correctly, and you'd like to test if everything works, you can take a look at the following links below, where you will find some sample files I've found. -MP4 [MP4V + AAC]: (7.36MB) http://daci.digitalsystems.cs.tut.fi/videos/daci_mpeg4_sp_cbr/walk_pal_cbr_4004k_25fps_daci4sp_aac.mp4 You can try this one as it's the same kinda video you PMed me (same audio and video part) And afaik this splitter doesn't need additional files unlike the OGG Splitter for instance which needs the Microsoft C Runtime Library (msvcr71.dll) to function properly. Have you already checked whether the Elecard splitter is even registered? I included the DirectShow Filter Manager in my package. There the Elecard splitter should be listed.

Check PM

That's right. So now you should be able to render your MP4 files. Do you have a link to one of those MP4 files so that I can test them too?

As you can see, the Elecard filter needs to be registered and with the FFDShow Audio Decoder, AAC need to be enabled either with libfaac2 or realaac in the codecs tab. I just discovered I completely forgot to mention in the readme that my package is for WinXP only, since most of the filters are too. (the updated filters with the latest release are all unicode releases) (what the hell is this, from the latest paragraph I wanted to make a single post, but everytime it get's inserted in this post!?!)

Well let's first ask him what kind of movies he's trying to play on his laptop shall we? Actually it doesn't matter wether you're trying to play DivX/XviD with AC3/MP3 or MPEG2 with AC3/DTS (or in other words DVDs). FFDShow comes with a Volume Normalize feature which is able to normalize every audio format it supports. So all you need is FFDShow (and perhaps some MPEG filters for DVD support if so; included in my package). This at least keeps you from installing those huge DVD programs.

DivX/XviD has nothing to do with VP31! The best thing you can do is installing FFDShow, go to it's "Video decoder configuration" and enable the VP31 codec on the "Codecs" tab. And please drop RealPlayer for Media Player Classic or something!

Btw, I do have a question to all of you who use my little package. I noticed that the RadLight OGG Splitter 1.0.0.2 (13022005) has a minor issue rendering Vorbis Audio at the very beginning of a OGG-file. I encoded some test material (one song encoded with some different quality settings/bitrates), and I noticed songs were being rendered like a fraction of a second upto half a second the song too short at the very beginning (**** my english sucks ) I'm trying to say, the song isn't played at the beginning (00:00,00), but starts at 00:00,50 for instance or something. This issue only concerns the one from RadLight, the one from Gabest works fine, but this one doesn't support splitting THEORA. Now I wonder, how many people acctually do have THEORA video files? So it's either: -RadLight with it's playback issue at the beginning or; -Gabest with no THEORA support I would say Gabest, since I've never even seen one THEORA file on the internet (except the Lego Movie test sample ), what do you say?
