Download LAV Filters 0.56

Version 0.56 of the LAV Filters has been released. The LAV Filters are a collection of open source DirectShow filters that allow the most common formats of audio and video to be played in a media player of your choice. It is similar to the FFDShow filters, which seem to be losing popularity lately. For example, the K-Lite Codec Pack still offers the choice between the FFDShow and LAV Filters, while the latest edition of the Combined Community Codec Pack only offers the LAV Filters. In version 0.56 the following changes and improvements have been made:

General

• Major ffmpeg update, the DLLs have had their version number increased

LAV Splitter

• Support for Matroska Ordered Chaptes / Segment Linking
• Improved support for parsing language tags from OGM files
• Small performance improvements by avoiding copying the stream data in memory needlessly
• Improved duration calculation for MP3 files

LAV Videos

• Performance improvements for single-threaded decoders and YADIF (up to 20% in some situations)
