109 Extracting codecs from Win32
|
|
|
110 ============================
|
|
|
111
|
|
|
112 1. VfW
|
|
|
113 ~~~~~~
|
|
|
114 VfW (Video for Windows) is the old Video API for Windows. Its codecs have
|
|
|
115 the .DLL or (rarely) .DRV extension.
|
|
|
116 If MPlayer fails with your AVI:
|
|
|
117
|
|
|
118 UNKNOWN video codec: HFYU (0x55594648)
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
120 It means your AVI is encoded with a codec which has the HFYU fourcc (HFYU =
|
|
|
121 HuffYUV codec, DIV3 = DivX Low Motion, etc...). Now that we know this, we'll
|
|
|
122 have to find out which DLL Windows loads in order to play this file. In our
|
|
|
123 case, the system.ini contains this (with many others):
|
|
|
124 VIDC.HFYU=huffyuv.dll
|
|
|
125 So we'll need the huffyuv.dll file. Note that the audio codecs are specified
|
|
|
126 with the MSACM prefix :
|
|
|
127 msacm.l3acm=L3codeca.acm
|
|
|
128 This is the MP3 codec.
|
|
|
129
|
|
|
130 So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, codec file, sample AVI), submit a
|
|
|
131 bugreport, and upload the files to thot.banki.hu/incoming/MPlayer
|
|
|
132 (also see DOCS/README !!!) .
|
|
|
133
|
|
|
134 2. DirectShow
|
|
|
135 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
136 DirectShow is the newer Video API, which is even worse than its predecessor.
|
|
|
137 Things are harder with DirectShow, since
|
|
|
138 - system.ini doesn't contain the needed information, instead it's stored in
|
|
|
139 the registry :(
|
|
|
140 - we'll need the GUID of the codec.
|
|
|
141
|
|
|
142 So let's search that goddamn registry..
|
|
|
143 - Start 'regedit'
|
|
|
144 - press ctrl-f, disable the first two checkbox, and enable the third. Type
|
|
|
145 the fourcc of the codec. (for ex.: TM20)
|
|
|
146 - you should see a field which contains the path and filename
|
|
|
147 (for ex. : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\TM20DEC.AX)
|
|
|
148 - now that we have the file, we'll need the GUID. Try searching again, but
|
|
|
149 now we'll search for the codec's name, not the fourcc. Its name can be acquired
|
|
|
150 when Media Player is playing that file, by checking File/Properties/Advanced.
|
|
|
151 If not, bad luck ;) Try guessing.
|
|
|
152 (for ex. search for : TrueMotion)
|
|
|
153 - if found (in registry), there should be a FriendlyName field, and a CLSID
|
|
|
154 field. Write down that 16 byte of CLSID.
|
|
|
155
|
|
|
156 NOTE : if searching fails, try to enable all the checkboxes.. you may have
|
|
|
157 false hits, but maybe you'll have the right, too...
|
|
|
158 NOTE : dump that M$ shit.
|
|
|
159
|
|
|
160 So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, GUID, codec file, sample AVI),
|
|
|
161 submit a bugreport, and upload the files to thot.banki.hu/incoming/MPlayer
|
|
|
162 (also see DOCS/README !!!) .
