Download LAV Filters 0.72

Version 0.72 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 Videos

• Changed: Enabled CineformHD decoding by default, since the decoder has much improved
• Fixed: Decoding Matroska files with Linked Segments which used old x264 4:4:4 encodes could result in corruption

LAV Audio

• NEW: Blu-ray Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 decoding and bitstreaming support
• NEW: LAV Audio will fallback to audio decoding if bitstreaming is not supported by the audio renderer/hardware
• Fixed: DTS-HD HRA bitstreaming did not work properly with many A/V receivers
• Fixed: TrueHD bitstreaming could result in dropouts on high bitrate TrueHD+Atmos streams
