ffdshow tryouts

[enas64]

I use windows 7 and I have video files which are simply xvid and divx contained in a .mov video file containers.

It playes through VLC, just fine..
but with your codec, It does not work, and even the ffdshow audio/video notification bar icons does not show up

here is a sample:

What player are you using?

If it's Windows Media Player - go thank Microsoft for that, WMP will always use DMO codecs if available and will only fall back to DirectShow codecs if it can't locate a DMO; and Windows 7 shipped with DMO codecs for almost every popular format.

Try Media Player Classic Homecinema instead, that should have no problems using ffdshow.

actually I tried media player classic, quick time,.. etc.. and it does not work
and tried changing the default windows 7 filters to use ffdshow instead, but no dice,...

Since this is QuickTime we're talking about - open MPC, go to "View > Options > Player > Formats", go to the "Quicktime file" line in the list and, if it's saying "QuickTime" at the right end, click on it and select "DirectShow" instead - otherwise MPC won't use DirectShow at all to open your MOV file, but will directly use QuickTime.

It does not work!

the file should work when played with any player since I installed the codec pack that uses ffdshow, but it seems not to work, even when playing the file with quicktime itself!

it seems when playing the file ffdshow does not run at all, all recognizes the video in the container!

i wonder why it just works with VLC,

[Placio74]

Hmm...

MediaInfo, GSpot and Avinaptic recognizes only container (MPEG-4 / Quicktime) and nothing more.

I can't play this file through DirectShow (Gabest MP4 Splitter + ffdshow).
Also, i can't play this file in SMPlayer and even... QuickTime Player (maybe possible in Mac version).

FFmpeg just returns an error: "moov atom not found".

So... something is wrong with this sample file.

Try 'fix' this file...

- run VLC,
- in Open Media add this .MOV file,
- change Play to Convert,

- in Convert set destination path, name file and extension (.MP4),
- create a new profile,
- set name profile,
- Encapsulation = MP4/MOV
- Video codec = enable Video and set Keep original video track,
- Audio codec = enable Audio and set Keep original audio track,
- Save,
- set new profile and Start.

BTW
VLC uses only internal decoders and demuxers - does not use DirectShow filters (ffdshow is DirectShow filter).

First of all, stop making such files.

VLC can play them. Other players on Windows can not.

Ok, here is a new sample I made, with quicktime for mac.
this should be ok:

test it and tell me what you think.

[Placio74]

Can play in VLC and SMPlayer.
Can play through DirectShow used Nero MP4 Splitter and required decoders (ffdshow for example).

QuickTime Player - can't play, Xvid for QT is available only for Mac.
Gabest MP4 Splitter (when try play through DirectShow) - does not recognize video stream (?) - no video image when play in DirectShow based players (MPC-HC too).

Can remux this sample to AVI (MPEG Streamclip, FFmpeg) and then I see no problems.

BTW
Of course this is not a problem with ffdshow.

Thanks for you input and effort, so, there is no problem...
but then what would be the way to play those files in WMP or itunes in windows 7?
is there such a thing?

or is this a Gabest MP4 Splitter problem ?
