Download Combined Community Codec Pack 30.05.2013
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 0.57.0.0-d8dc0ef
- MPC-HC 1.6.8.7347 (shows up as 7357)
- xy VSFilter 3.0.0.”220″
- 211 with various backports and fixes.
Installer and settings applications
- Haali’s ‘Autoload VSFilter’ checkbox in the settings application has been replaced with a LAV Splitter tray icon checkbox as part of the gradual Haali removal process. This setting can still be changed in Haali Splitter’s settings.
- A button for LAV Splitter’s settings has been added to the settings application, and the buttons in general have been somewhat regrouped.
MPC-HC
- Memory leaks have been fixed in MPC-HC that happened with files that contained chapters. Thanks go to Underground78 for quickly solving this issue, and to Phantasm for helping in debugging the problem.
- The update checking mechanism question that pops up during first start-up of MPC-HC no longer comes up so that the playback would start behind or in front of it. The playback will not start before you answer the question.
- Audio switcher’s normalization and boost features have been updated. If you do not reset settings and use these features, you might get unexpected results. Do make sure to either reset settings, or go into the options and modify the settings to match according to your tastes.
LAV
- LAV Video now prefers YV12 to NV12 on XP if a 4:2:0 YCbCr color space is being tried for output. This should work around or fix some of the problems that certain XP users have been having after the switch to being LAV-based.
- A pop-up menu has been added to LAV Splitter for switching streams or editions, and jumping to chapters. Enabled by default in CCCP.
- Many small changes to LAV Splitter that improve the scanning speed of Matroska files when using segment linking.
- Default streams are now preferred to the special ‘forced’ streams that LAV Splitter creates internally in case of PGS subtitles. This makes subtitles show up more often, matching the behavior to when there are no PGS subtitle tracks available. Real ‘forced’ tracks still get selected by default in case such exist.
- A problem with segment linking and Vorbis audio extradata changes has been fixed in LAV Splitter.
- The FLAC channel mask from metadata is now used by LAV Audio, fixes playback of FLAC files with non-standard channel layouts.
- JPEG2000 support has been added.
xy-VSFilter
- A blacklist update from MPC-HC has been backported. Should improve xy-VSFilter falling out of the playback chain in case of a known application that doesn’t like its existence, and most probably will not get fixed.
- A couple of new NV12-to-I420/YUY2/RGB color conversion code paths have been added to vd.cpp’s Kasumi-based solutions as a measure to work around some weird connections that xy-VSFilter happens to create for one reason or another.
