An XviD bug, a newer DShow filter & my new site

Hi, First: XviD Bug: This was what was crashing my DShow filter & possibly caused problems for milan with the new dev3 api. In xvid.c there is a line in xvid_init there is a line: fprintf(stderr,"sad16v=XMM\n"); That is trying to write to stderr which is ok for most things apart from where stderr doesn't exist (like interfaces less programs, i.e. dshow filters). Remove that line, I could use my DShow filter again :) (minor stuff hey, but still took long enough to find) (of course this isn't really a "bug", because its the dev api, but I thought it may be useful to report it anyway) Second: My new DShow filter works with dev3 api (YaY!) but it also now no longer relies on XviD.dll, this means it will no longer cause compatibility problems with each new version (& if you only needed xvid decoding then you could just install the .ax & not xvid.dll). I may add something to make it decode DivX if people want it. Third: Is my new site, a new dev3-api build is up (dont know how stable it is, but its there for testing) with the new DShow (src will be up soon). Hopefully my site is a bit easier to use & more useful. Suggestions/bugs/comments welcome. -Nic

Nice work Nic! :) Can you send me the xvid.ax only please so I can add that (and maybe even build a stand-alone decoder installer from it which I'll send back then of course)? I've plenty of stuff on HD for encoding so I don't have the option to install your build and take it from there (3 movies, some series,..). Thanks, Best regards, Koepi

Thanks a million Nic, I'll build the installer ASAP... maybe I'm _really_ fast now ;) Regards, Koepi

Hi Nic, check your mail at that account you sent it from ;) Best regards, Koepi

Cool :) A 100kb XviD Decoder installer, no one can complain at that :D -Nic

The way the XviD api works is being changed by gomgom so, hopefully youll be able to get round that soon :) -Nic
