The latest version have troubles with desync'ed subtitles when skipping forward or backward into the movie.

This tool is awesome, I always update to the latest version as soon as I know it's out :).

When encoding xvid to mkv(x264)using ffdshow as the xvid codecs in vista 64 causes the audio to gradually go out of sync,using the Xvid-1.2.2 keeps the audio in sync but it a bit of a pain to install on vista 64.

Xvid inside AVI's can have issues with VFW based programs such as Virtualdub and AVISynth, eg frames being returned out of order. As at Feb 2009, the Packed Bitstream AVI "fix" for xvid-in-AVI problems ONLY works if you use the latest XVID codec and not ffdshow's xvid decoder. http://forum.videohelp.com/topic363395-30.html#1942550 So, to use the "fix", always create/convert AVI with xvid content to "packed bitstream" and use the "real" xvid to decode instead of ffdshow. Unticking decoding xvid in ffdshow (both vfw and non-vfw) and installing the latest xvid makes the problem go away.

I went round and round before I found out that certain H.264 files require Haali Media Splitter installed in conjunction with ffdshow. Once that was done all worked great.

My Anti-virus software also picked up on a virus with version 2008-04-05. I think AVG Anti-virus (Registered Version) is pretty good with low false positives so I moved the .exe file to the Virus Vault and wiped it. Apart from that this tool is very good when used with Media Player Classic. You can play near enough any media file type! Thanks to the developers.

Be careful with the latest release, my antivirus software got quite 'mad' with it and i had to go through a full scan for an hour and a half or so. I guess open-source stuff comes with that...

|||||||||||||||
My only comment on this software is that I have Videohelp.com sende me an email whenver it is updated, and I sometimes get 2 or 3 emails a week. A lot of the changes are fairly trivial.

Gives me the best quality for the least CPU utilization when used for mpeg2. Highly recommended.

Wish there was support for Interlaced H.264 found on the MTS files from AVCHD camcorders from Sony and Pannasonic. That would give this a perfect 10 in my book. All in all, very good S/W.........

went to www.free-codecs.com - once there used to be an SSE2 version, but now only SSE etc ... not sure what the deal is nowadays.

Versions from 15 Nov 2005 now support video in Tmpgenc again although there are still some issues with audio in Tmpgenc. According to the developer (Milan Cutka) this has now also been fixed but so far there has been no release forthcoming with the audio fix. Just disable ffdshow for mp3 decoding if you want to use Tmpgenc

These newer versions of ffdshow don't seem to work very well with tmpgenc.

I have been ffdshow for about 3 years or more now. I use simply to convert DivX/XviD avi's to VCD/SVCD and DVD. Never had a problem with freezing or anything that others have commented on. Also there is a nice configuration tool to control the software, i dont mess with it too much, but its there if you need to. I like this much better than having to install seperately DivX 3 / 5 and XviD codecs.

Excelent program, can do a lot. Was the only decoder in use, until discovered that the last version (20041012 or the version before, I'm not sure which was installed) have problem with some type of .avi (XviD made from camera shot). My computer simply restart or became instable. Checked with 3 movies of the same type and the result was the same. Uninstalled ffdshow and installed XviD codec (XviD 1.0.1 (05062004) version) and the movie was OK. Anyway, the best decoding software I used ever and make a good team with VobSub (not sure if is really necessary VobSub, to lazzy to check).

I use it for 2 years on my 2 machines (XP Sp1 and 98SE). Extremely usefull to add permanent subtitles to AVI and VCD's.
|
|||||||||||||||
Maybe they read my comments and fixed the bugs. If they have then I take back what I said before.
|
|||||||||||||||
Contrary to the other comment here, this FIXED all the problems I had with XP and TMPGEnc .."index scan" and various Directshow problems which led TMPGEnc to crash whenever Vobsub tried to load a sub...

I have always been a fan of Ffdshow until now. I discovered through chance that all my Tmpgenc Xvid to Mpeg conversion errors e.g freezing, crashing etc while converting where being caused by this evil thing. I uninstalled it and used the proper Xvid/DivX codecs instead and magically my Tmpgenc conversions became error free. Don't use this if you convert Xvid/DivX to Mpeg using TMPGenc - you'll be pulling your hair out if you do.

Version 20040319 causes ASF, WMV and probably most other Windows Media Formats to play at sporadic speeds, especially if you try to seek through them. Reverted to the last version and this problem does not exist. Been a pretty decent tool other than this most recent problem.

This is a cool decoder. Try it out, it allows you a large number of visual enhancements to your Xvid and similar video playback.
|
|||||||||||||||
Highly configurable, has resizing & aspect correction, noise & sharpen filters, & much more. This is my choice for DivX (3,4, or 5) playback.

Great filter. It can play almost anything you would want. My version is from Dec. 02 so newer versions are probably available, but I have had no problems with it yet. It has so many post-proccessing options that it can be a little overwhelming if you want to try them and a little hard to test because the options don't take effect right away.
