Adding new vedio and audiocodecs

Postby dyna » Tue Jun 01, 2010 2:31 am

If anybody can educate on how to add new vedio and audio codecs into DD many of forum members would find very useful. When the guide folder is checked we can see many codecs but vedio window shows very few of them?

In main folder of DD there is a file called codecs.ini

each cocdec definition consists of four lines of text

first line of each definition specifies the type of codec for mpg2 it is for example

Code: Select all

[VIDEO-MPEG-CODEC16]
where 16 is the unique number so if there are already 41 mpg2 codecs in your ini file the one You want to add shoud start with line [VIDEO-MPEG-CODEC42] the number after CODEC must be unique for each codec of selected type!
next line is

Code: Select all

NAME=Codec name
where Codec name is a descriptive name of the codec displayed by DD to the user on selection screen
third line is harder to setup :)

Code: Select all

CLSID={212690FB-83E5-4526-8FD7-74478B7939CD}
where {..} part is the clsid identyfying the codec You can get it from graphedit. Run this app then hit Ctrl+F then search for codecs under direct show filters the required part of info is surrounded with red frame (Microsoft MPG Decoder taken as example Win7 native)
the last line is optional and is of form

Code: Select all

DESC=Any comment You want to be displayed by DD when codec is selected
the text after = is any text You want

For h264 codecs first line is of this form [VIDEO-H264-CODEC1]
For audio:
mpg2 [AUDIO-MPEG-CODEC1]
AC3 [AUDIO-AC3-CODEC1]
AAC/mpg4 [AUDIO-AAC-CODEC1]

Thats all :>

Thanks a lot for very descriptive explanation. I do not get codec.ini file instead a file just named codec in which I find what you have mentioned. Graph edit also not found. Can you kindly give me more details about getting that particular code from graphedit.

I think before everything we have install all the codecs.

Thank you very much again

graphedit is a tiny application from Microsoft (no longer supported) just google for it or download from this attachment helpfile included (might be not the newest one but should work)
