Software Update: Combined Community Codec Pack 27.11.2013

A stable release of the Combined Community Codec Pack has been released. Although the name suggests otherwise, the Combined Community Codec Pack is actually a filter pack. Where previously the ffdshow filter package was used, nowadays preference is given to the LAV filters. In addition to the necessary filters, the media player Media Player Classic Home Cinema is also included and all components can be installed as desired. Below is the changelog of this release.

Updated components:

• LAV Filters 0.59.1.0-6cdab1c

General changelog:

• LAV
  • DXVA2ExtendedFormat colorimetry is now disabled in LAV Video if the Overlay mixer is in the graph, except when LAV Video is connected to a VSFilter. This fixes a black screen problem that some XP users possibly encountered.
  • VC-1 and WMV decoding via DXVA2 is now specifically disabled with Intel GPUs in LAV Video. Latest Intel drivers contain the component which is used for this, but its usage leads to either a broken image or plain crashes.
