How to add a new codec to guids.ini?

[Dreamer]

Or exactly "VSS H.264 Codec 3.0 Pro (vssh-pro-3_0.exe)".

http://www.vsofts.com/

[dmz01]

Add the following GUID {6931C7E7-75B7-4729-A153-A8AD99BDF70B} (and a name of your choosing) to the h.264 section of guids.ini file.

I got the GUID by installing the software and looking at the dx filter in graphedt.exe

[Snuffer]

Please show me the total line in your GUID or place it here so we can see thanks .

It will not see it here and before i buy this VVS i will now of DD works with it.

H264CODEC4=VSS H.264 Codec , {6931C7E7-75B7-4729-A153-A8AD99BDF70B}

It's easy, just add H264CODEC4=Codec name , {...}

4 is the number of H264 codec, so if you have H264CODEC1=, H264CODEC2= and H264CODEC3=, use 4, if you have also H264CODEC4=, use 5...

So VSS H.264 Codec 3.0 Pro doesn't work at all here. Tested with VMR9 and Generic v.r. DD even freezes with VMR9.

dmz01 - thanks anyway.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB RAM, ATI RX800 256MB, SB Audigy 2 Value, SkyStar 2 rev.2.3, TechniSat DVB 4.4.0, Windows XP SP2

I confirm...Downloaded the BETA 2.2 Version and it was NOT accepted by DD.

Anyway,for demonstration purposes this is a copy of a guids.ini to wich some codecs were added..:

Found my problem with getting H.264 codec to show up in Dvbdream.

All codec's after the first one listed with a "; " sign in front of "H264CODEC " don't show up. Fix is to remove the ; before all codecs!!!!

Maybe it's just that number - if DD can't find "H264CODEC5=", it doesn't try to find "H264CODEC6=" - more above.

just tried now cause none of my codecs were showing up, and IT WORKS.

thanks a lot.
