Codecs SAF v6 (based on LAVF) (3 Viewers)

[nordemoniac]

Please; LAVF vs SAF v6 - What's the difference, pros/cons?

LAVF is one or two codecs .. SAF6 is like 10+ codecs bundled together (which includes LAVF [video and audio codecs]

If there a way to update LAV filters inside SAF? LAV filter 50.5 is out and it has some enhancement I would like to try

Hi Hoborg,

A sample is attached.

Thanks for looking at this for me.

Can you please cut small sample and post it here ? Use MKVMerge to do it.

I think the file have something wrong, 540x570 is not 4:3. Maybe it is wrongly encoded?

10+? No way

SAF v.6.1.1 released:
- LAVF updated to 0.50.5

Only small update this time.

Hoborg,

You have the date wrong for SAF 6.1.1 on your website...it says 30-05-12

Hi Hoborg,

My understanding is that it is quite normal for a video stream to have one aspect ratio and for the container to specify a different aspect ratio for it to be displayed at (eg anamorphic dvds). LAV video (and other decoders) have a setting which allows you to tell it whether to use the stream aspect ratio or the file container aspect ratio, but I can't find a setting like this in FFDShow. But these files have worked for me in the past in my older WinXP installation and they work on my current Windows 7 laptop, so i'm pretty sure there isn't a problem with the files. I'll investigate a bit further and try and find what's different between my laptop and my HTPC.

Thanks
Andy

I'm also very confused about this codec "mess" :-S

Now we have 3 codec options?!?

MEPO builtin(Microsoft Codec)
SAF
LAVF

What the difference/advantages/disadvantages?
Problems running them together?
Is there any performance difference?

Hopefully one day, codecs would work "Out-of-the box" when installing MEPO...............Just like XBMC.

Hate configuring codecs...............too many options:-P

P.S Still a applause for Hoborg, for easing the codec installation into 1 single package - but lets try to evolve - Keep it simple :0)

I think MP 1.3.0 Alpha will come with LAV Filters. So you don't have to install any additional codec packs. LAVF will play (almost) everything. Still LAV Video Decoder, LAV Audio Decoder & LAV Splitter should be configured first. It is not that hard and should be done only once.
