Download LAV Filters 0.62

Version 0.62 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 Combined Community Codec Pack only offers the LAV Filters. In version 0.61 the following changes and improvements have been made:

LAV Splitter

• Fixed: The filtered Forced Subtitles stream did not properly send all related subtitle data in some cases

LAV Videos

• NEW: Implemented a WMV9 MFT decoder to replace the old DMO decoder for VC-1/WMV3 on Windows 7 and above
• NEW: Support for VP7 video
• Fixed: Multi-threaded video decoding could result in a handle leak on some systems
• Fixed: Video processing was slow on Windows XP due to inefficient memcpy use
• Fixed: DVD subtitles could overlap on some discs

LAV Audio

• Fixed: Dynamic format switching to an audio stream with a different sample rate did not work in some cases
