I was very happy when i found out they give 32bits and 64bits codecs for free, including the mpeg2 i-frame. But when i tested, it crashed half of the programs i use, some give error when selecting codec, and when it worked, it make any program that use VFW codecs open slower.
May 1, 2003 - I know VirtualDub needs a VFW codec to work, but what about AviSynth? Anyone want to recomend a codec? I found the Main Concept one,.
I remember wen my boss had a Rt2000, and was absolutely s.t. Crash and crash, error and errors, was more a joke than a 'pro' hardware. Looks like they don't changed too much since then. Im still using Canopus HQ in vegas. Very flexible and stable. Hope they release a 64-bit version soon (some said edius 6 will be 64bits also).
Cedocida DV Codec. Current version is 0.2.3 (2012-Sep-27). Official Homepage is here: Latest Binary is here: Features: - supports encoding and decoding of: DV, DVCPRO25, DVCPRO50 - supported formats for in- and output: RGB, YUY2, YV12 (PAL-DV / MPEG2-I / MPEG2-P) - direct YUV-4:2:0 output when using 'YV12 PAL-DV' option - optional forcing of selected input and output format - settings for picture quality and compression methods New in Version 0.2.3: - added support for DVCPRO25 and DVCPRO50 - reworked VfW driver code - fixed settings on Win7 x64.
Cant get it to install. Right click Install on the cedocidaDVSD in the Release folder throws up an error: 'Setup cannot copy the file Cedocida.dll' and 'Ensure that the location specified below is correct, or change it and insert 'Cedocida DV Video Codec' in the drive you specify' I dont understand this statement. The auto-selected path was 'C: Program Files cedocida0.1.5 Release' and I cant see a Cedocida.dll file elswhere in the directory. Also, if I do manage to install it, can I assume that it will be possible to disable the codedc and swap it for other DV codecs using VCSwap? Thanks Neuron2.
First impressions with a few Pal Type II DV test clips - good quality decoding and appears to be free from the slight 'color bleed' that I have observed with every other DV software codec bar Matrox and Sony. My main interest is in compressibility on (filtered) conversion to MPEG4 (DivX Fusion, mostly)and VP6. Until now the Sony DV codec has been my preferred decoder but it upsamples to RGB and requires luma shift adjustment after conversion to YUV color space. I'll run some bitrate vs quality metric comparisons with Cedocida as decompressor when I have a moment. Thanks again A.Dittrich and Neuron2. Where would us users be without your inventiveness.
PS - confirmed that Cedocida can swapped with other DV codecs without any problems using VCSwap. released new version 0.1.6 with NTSC support. now it's a fully working DV Codec.

Sourcecode available here: changes: - add: encoding and decoding of NTSC video - fixed: bug concerning U-V-color-swap of YV12 encoding/decoding some remarks on 'YV12 (DV)' input/output option in combination with NTSC video: this format is direct data to or from the compression algorithm and will not be converted, shifted or interpolated. Because NTSC DV uses a 4:1:1 sampling grid, you will see weird color when viewed with a normal YV12 program which assumes 4:2:0 - this is no bug. If you need YV12 format, use the option 'YV12 (MPEG2.)'.
