    New matroska playback packs for Windows/DirectShow are out ...

    Hi,

    i have the pleasure to announce the new matroska playback packs

    Matroska_Pack_Full_v1.0.2.exe
    Matroska_Pack_Lite_v1.0.2.exe
    Matroska_Pack_MPEG4_v1.0.2.exe

    for download from the usual download space on




    Changes :

    - Morgan Stream Switcher ( mmswitch, matroska version by Dcoder ) was installed by default by the old pack, but unfortunately was causing conflicts with some of the codec packs out there, leading to general playback problems or even to a complete DirectShow Media playback failure in some very severe cases. Although the new packs contain a fixed version of mmswitch ( many thanks to Dcoder for that ), we decided to not install it by default in the new packs, and even to uninstall the old filters from the old packs unless the installation box gets ticked by the user. Instead we added a disclaimer, informing people about the existence of better players such as MPC, TCMP, Zoomplayer and BSplayer, and when mmswitch is actually needed ( playback of multi-audio MKV files in WMP ).

    - Matrix Mixer Filter : same as for mmswitch, its not installed by default any longer, but we wont remove old filters

    - The RealMedia pack was dropped because most RV9 fans anyhow choose the Full Pack, and a new, Lite Pack was introduced, containing only
    * matroska spliter
    * matroska muxer
    * CoreVorbis
    * vsfilter


    Updated Filter List :

    - matroska splitter 1.0.2.3
    - matroska muxer 1.0.0.8
    - vsfilter 2.33
    - mmswitch 0.99 ( matroska edition, not installed by default )
    - CoreAAC 1.0b9
    - CoreVorbis 1.0b6
    - CoreFLAC decoder 0.3b4
    - ac3filter 0.70b ( fixed version from DCoder )
    - Matrix Mixer 0.30b ( not installed by default )
    - ffdshow 2003-05-23
    - RealMediaSplitter 1.0.0.9
    - MatroskaProp 2.6 ( not installed by default )

    New, tested features of the latest matroska splitter :

    - MPEG2 video playback from MKV
    - automatic Fonts loading from MKV file attachement
    - for native MPEG4 playback, FourCC 'MP4V' will be called instead of 'mp4v', to be compatible with latest ffdshow builds

    Have fun testing ... and BTW : we now have a counter because we are curious how many fans the pack has meanwhile !
