Download LAV Filters 0.68.1

Version 0.68.1 of the LAV Filters has been released. The LAV Filters are a collection of open source DirectShow filters that allow the most common formats of audio and video to be played in a media player of your choice. It is part of the K-Lite Codec Pack and the Combined Community Codec Pack, among others. There are also media players, such as Media Player Classic – Home Cinema and VLC Media Player, which already have it on board. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

LAV Splitter

• NEW: Support for reading metadata tags from MKV files (including the “3d-plane” MVC 3D tag from MakeMKV 1.9.10 and newer)
• Fixed: Improved handling of QuickTime codecs in MKV files
• Fixed: S302M audio streams with non-pcm content did not work anymore (requires an external decoder)

LAV Videos

• Changed: Flags for BT.2020 are exported in DXVA2_ExtendedFormat (previously only reported to madVR, since the Windows SDK did not specify them)
• Changed: Prevent connections to the “AVI Decompressor” filter which could result in a broken image or crashes otherwise
• Fixed: Some progressive files could report the wrong FPS when software deinterlacing was turned on
• Fixed: MPEG-2 streams using “intra refresh” did not decode properly

LAV Audio

• Fixed: Decoding MPEG Audio streams from the Microsoft MPEG-1 Splitter could result in playback starting with an audible glitch
