Hey guys, anyone familiar with ffdshow tryouts lately?
I used to use it all the time, but now it's not working for me or a friend of mine. I remember it should just work after installation, but it isn't now. It's been years since I used it though.
Windows 10, WMP 12 (I think, or is it a new version on W10 now?)
Is there a simple fix I'm missing? Or should I just post a new question on here?
Fair enough, well I tried getting ffdshow to do any decoding but couldn't get anything (mpc-hc, vlc, wmp) to actually make use of it. With mpc-hc even disabling the built-in decoders just left me with broken video and no audio. That OS could have just been hosed though, it was a tad unhealthy after the Win7 -> Win8 -> Win8.1 updates...
I remember using it regularly on Windows 7. But by the time Windows 8 came around I didn't have it installed anymore and didn't need it (I used it because of anime fansubs, but my watching had by then gone to internet streams)
So my experience stopped at Windows 7
The website says it should work with Windows 8 and forward though.
Pretty much likewise, the videos I did want to keep were easy and short enough to bite the bullet and transcode from mkv (h.264 + ogg audio) to mp4 with sensible settings
@Mokubai It's not being used at all. I tried changing some settings, adding an overlay, and none of these things get picked up when I play video files. I made sure that ffdshow was enabled for all video codecs. I tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions.
The icon doesn't show up in the tray and the info pane in the video decoder settings isn't showing an open file or anything like that.
The video plays and none of the settings I change seem to affect it.
I don't have any files that are in a format that I know WMP doesn't support, so I can't test that it works with those.
If it plays those, then I would know it's just defaulting to its own no matter what I set in the ffdshow settings. If it doesn't play them, then I know that it just isn't picking up the codecs, and settings, at all.

...and I happen to be using a cheap basic phone with only 2G support. I'm the only one on the account who got this message (the others have 3G phones).
The reason I got this text message is that AT&T is shutting down their 2G service to free up spectrum for 4G LTE.
Newegg updated the product images, including a package contents image (a Newegg tradition).
This probably means that Newegg has gotten its first units in stock; the release date listed (02/29/2016) is probably wrong by a long shot. The ROCCAT official product page gives "start of Feb" for the release date.
(For most products, Newegg provides a package contents image, showing the product packaging and complete package contents, as the last image in a series of product images. The previous images provided by Newegg for this keyboard were merely press images supplied by ROCCAT.)
- Full N-key rollover (ROCCAT says 30 keys, which for all intents and purposes is N-key rollover) - Cherry MX key switches and laser-etched, UV-coated keycaps - Fully remappable keys, plus Easy-Shift[+] for an additional layer of customization - Per-key RGB lighting - Dual ARM Cortex-M processors (if the chips are identical to the Ryos MK Pro, http://www.modders-inc.com/roccat-ryos-mk-pro-mechanical-keyboard-review/3/, it's 100 MHz Cortex-M3 + 50 MHz Cortex-M0) - 2 MB onboard NAND allowing storage of more than 500 macros
It appears each key has its own isolation diode. Although this is expensive, it means the keyboard has true N-key rollover, absolutely no ghosting or jamming.
@bwDraco I had a Roccat mouse, their driver software sucks and is vaguely pointless. At least Logitech let you use Lua to put scripts on the mouse buttons. I still do have the thing if I can be bothered to replace the damn micro-switches in it.
Their painful "upload settings" to their mouse shares something in common with flashing the BIOS on your computer, in that if the program crashes it can brick your mouse. Thankfully I had a spare mouse I could plug in to re-run their software and reflash the thing so it could work again.
@Mokubai My FUNC mouse is the same. They require a second mouse to be able to flash the firmware because you need to click next at some part of the process...
