Software Update: CoreAVC 1.7.0

CoreCodec has released a new version of its Coreavc video codec. With this codec it is possible to convert files in the h.264view format. Coreavc is efficiently programmed and very fast, in some cases even faster than comparable hardware solutions. Corecodec is available in an eight-dollar standard version and a fifteen-dollar professional version. The latter offers extra support for interlacing and multicore processors. Below are changes made to the Coreavc video codec and the included Haali Media Splitter:
