Download Combined Community Codec Pack 13.07.2014

A new stable release of the Combined Community Codec Pack has been released. Although the name suggests otherwise, the Combined Community Codec Pack is actually a filter pack. Where previously the ffdshow filter package was used, nowadays the LAV filters are preferred. In addition to the necessary filters, the media player Media Player Classic Home Cinema is also included and all components can be installed as desired. This release, codenamed Absurdum Ipsum, is most likely the last release with support for Windows XP. Below is the changelog of this release.

Updated components:

• LAV Filters 0.62.0.0-a731178
• MPC-HC 1.7.6 (master@ebc29cf)
• xy VSFilter 3.0.0.”305″ (git 7f6a318)

MPC-HC

• MPC-HC no longer crashes during quick seeks with PGS subpictures when the internal subtitle renderer was used. Did not affect CCCP defaults.
• Anamorphic ASS is now handled correctly in the internal subtitle renderer. This is one of the oldest standing bugs there were regarding the ISR, and we all thank kasper93 for the effort he put into fixing this after Daemon404 successfully trolled people regarding it.
• The Play?Filters filter listing can now be easily copied to the clipboard, there is now a button for that in the top of the listing.
• UI language selection has been moved to the options in MPC-HC.
• Minor fixes and improvements in general.

LAV

• PGS subpicture parsing improved in LAV Splitter.
• LAV Video now supports VP7 video (for the two of you out there with samples).
• LAV Video can now use the Media Foundation WMV9 decoder instead of the old DMO decoder.
• FFmpeg used in LAV now uses native win32 threads instead of a pthreads wrapper.
• Various fixes included in the updated FFmpeg.

xy-VSFilter

• VirtualDub library has been updated.
• Various ASS parsing improvements by Plorkyeran. These also remove the A (ANSI/non-unicode code page) Windows API usage, which also breaks non-unicode subtitle parsing. As noted, MPC-HC’s internal subtitle renderer should be used instead in case you play such files.
• Loading of UUEncoded fonts from ASS files is fixed.
• A possible out-of-bounds array access was fixed. This has been in the code for more than a year, and no-one noticed it. It seems that no-one has subtitle files with UTF-8 data that end up in this area of ​​glyphs (or the rest of the code actually makes the bug impossible to happen).
• Vobsub fixes that replace the old MPC-BE hackfix. Should lead to similar results as with the old hackfix, unfortunately. In MPC-HC these changes actually add proper fadein/-out.
