1.3c - DVBdream can't detect/use PowerDVD 7.2

Doesn't appear in the list of h264 codecs, which is a shame as it's now very efficient - 60% cpu on a pentium 3.5ghz to play BBC HD, with no gpu acceleration (coreavc is 85% on the same machine). Works on DVBViewer beta, not earlier ones.

Graph looks like this, hope it's enough:

<FILTER ID="CyberLink_H.264/AVC_Decoder_(PDVD6.x)" clsid="{F2E3D920-0F9B-4319-BE87-EB94CCEB6C09}">
</FILTER>


In and out pins are just called "Video In" and "Video Out"

I guess the file being called PDVD6.x confuses things a little - probably cos 7.2 is developed from 6.5/6.6 rather than 7.0. Weird :-)

Try this modified guids.ini file

Thanks, that was quick :-) It works - PDVD 7.2 is recognised and used.

Unfortunately, that uncovers another bug, next post coming up!

I don't know if PDVD 7.3 H.264 filter as the same CLSID as the PDVD 7.2 one, but what I know is that there was a little issue in the previous Guids.ini file I've uploaded :oops:

I've updated my previous post so you can download the corrected version of Guids.ini.

Tried the modified guids.ini but the CLSID for 7.2 is different I think. The correct one for 7.3 seems to be {F2E3D920-0F9B-4319-BE87-EB94CCEB6C09}, but the video renderer is still incompatible.

So it's the same as for PDVD 7.2 (have a look on the first message of this thread)... It's also the same as for previous PDVD 6.x H.264 compliant filter.

==> The issue you got comes from elsewhere :?:

I agree with you :wink:
