227 | 114 Extracting codecs from Win32 |
115 ============================ | |
116 | |
117 1. VfW | |
118 ~~~~~~ | |
119 VfW (Video for Windows) is the old Video API for Windows. Its codecs have | |
120 the .DLL or (rarely) .DRV extension. | |
121 If MPlayer fails with your AVI: | |
122 | |
123 UNKNOWN video codec: HFYU (0x55594648) | |
124 | |
125 It means your AVI is encoded with a codec which has the HFYU fourcc (HFYU = | |
126 HuffYUV codec, DIV3 = DivX Low Motion, etc...). Now that we know this, we'll | |
127 have to find out which DLL Windows loads in order to play this file. In our | |
128 case, the system.ini contains this (with many others): | |
129 VIDC.HFYU=huffyuv.dll | |
130 So we'll need the huffyuv.dll file. Note that the audio codecs are specified | |
131 with the MSACM prefix : | |
132 msacm.l3acm=L3codeca.acm | |
133 This is the MP3 codec. | |
134 | |
238 | 135 So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, codec file, sample AVI), submit |
136 your codec support request in mail, and upload these files to the FTP: | |
137 ftp://thot.banki.hu/incoming/MPlayer/<codecname>/ | |
138 | |
227 | 139 |
140 2. DirectShow | |
141 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
142 DirectShow is the newer Video API, which is even worse than its predecessor. | |
143 Things are harder with DirectShow, since | |
144 - system.ini doesn't contain the needed information, instead it's stored in | |
145 the registry :( | |
146 - we'll need the GUID of the codec. | |
147 | |
148 So let's search that goddamn registry.. | |
149 - Start 'regedit' | |
150 - press ctrl-f, disable the first two checkbox, and enable the third. Type | |
151 the fourcc of the codec. (for ex.: TM20) | |
152 - you should see a field which contains the path and filename | |
153 (for ex. : C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\TM20DEC.AX) | |
154 - now that we have the file, we'll need the GUID. Try searching again, but | |
155 now we'll search for the codec's name, not the fourcc. Its name can be acquired | |
156 when Media Player is playing that file, by checking File/Properties/Advanced. | |
157 If not, bad luck ;) Try guessing. | |
158 (for ex. search for : TrueMotion) | |
159 - if found (in registry), there should be a FriendlyName field, and a CLSID | |
238 | 160 field. Write down that 16 byte of CLSID, this is the GUID required by us. |
227 | 161 |
162 NOTE : if searching fails, try to enable all the checkboxes.. you may have | |
163 false hits, but maybe you'll have the right, too... | |
164 NOTE : dump that M$ shit. | |
165 | |
166 So, now we have all the info needed (fourcc, GUID, codec file, sample AVI), | |
238 | 167 submit your codec support request in mail, and upload these files to the FTP: |
168 ftp://thot.banki.hu/incoming/MPlayer/<codecname>/ | |
