I think XBMC has the necessary codecs to play .mov files as i didn't install any codecs on my PC and DVDPlayer works with .mov's. I also think that DSPlayer just doesn't support these kind of files yet.

If ffdshow support the decoding wont be really long to add support for it. Dsplayer already use ffdshow for almost everything related to video decoding. Mpc video decoder is only used for file supporting dxva. Ill see what i can do about that after i did the resume thing on video start

Unless I totally misunderstand how DSplayer works, DVDplayer and DSplayer aren't the same player. DVDplayer uses libraries from ffmpeg I believe. So mostly what ffmpeg plays, DVDplayer can play (I'm generalizing quite a bit). DSplayer uses directshow codecs. Because one can play something doesn't mean the other can.

Hello Tiben20,

Thankyou,

I think the mpc video decoder though is based on ffmpeg, for the portions that are non dxva....if im not wrong..so should be similar to what dvdplayer can do....

Just keep in mind everything related to decoding a video got ffmpeg behind it the dvdplayer use the ffmpeg library,ffdshow is just a modification of ffmpeg for windows directshow. Mpc video decoder is similar to ffdshow but much smaller. The main goal of it was to implement the dxva api. Anyway the problem is not the decoding everything is fine on this side its only the source and splitter filters which has a some specific behavior for many containers(avi,mkv,mov....)

problems getting DXVA to work - wattman - 2009-11-20

I'm running a nvidia 9500GT 512MB, using Windows 7, the latest compile from you today and CAN NOT get DXVA to work. Any suggestions on what I should do to enable.

Actually i did many search related to dxva and currently ONLY WINDOWS XP support dxva until the evr custom allocator is coded. If someone want some info about why --> http://www.codecguide.com/faq_dxva.htm
If anyone had dxva running on win7 with my version just remember its a ***** line of text on a monitor could be an error on how it was implemented at this time

tiben,
this guy looks like he has one he plans on releasing to the public...

- wattman - 2009-11-20

Thanks for the update and all the great work you have been doing with this release. I'm excited that this will finally become a reality. I spent allot of time reading posts and thought I may have missed something that needed to be done.

I dont' get whether this is gonna be a show stopper or if you just need some time to add EVR custom for Vista and 7.


- buzzqw - 2009-11-20

it will be a show stopper for all vista and seven users...

why not using the default xbmc player if dxva isn't available ?
