  • Some fixes and improvements

New in ReClock DirectShow Filter 1.8.1.5 Beta / 1.6 (Sep 29, 2008)

  • New: Rewritten hardware detection - again. This is a tricky piece of code, and I hope it'll work now on all machines.
  • New: Added two new parameters for the RunEvent.vbs script - source width and source height. These values are set to 0, if the source dimension is unknown.
  • New: Added keywords CINEMA(2x), NTSC(2x) and PAL(2x) for 48, 60 and 50fps sources
  • New: PAL SpeedDown in media adaptation properties will convert PAL(2x) sources to CINEMA(2x) (50fps to 48fps)

New in ReClock DirectShow Filter 1.8.1.3 Beta / 1.6 (Sep 26, 2008)

  • New: Added option to AC3 encoder only to encode multi channel sources
  • New: Added display resolution database, which can dramatically speed up the playback start, especially with ATI cards. This is a temporary solution until I figure out something better.

  • Fix: passing the file name to the RunEvent.vbs script didn't work, if the path contained spaces
  • Fix: Severe problem introduced with 1.8.1.2 which made the system default renderers unusable
  • Various fixes and improvements

  • New: Hotkeys can be modified (currently via regedit only, sorry)
  • New: Config tool doesn't need to run under admin account
  • New: Added option to accept SPDIF as input (disabled by default). This is important, because Windows Media player under Vista will always try to use SPDIF if possible, which isn't quite the right way when using ReClock.
  • Change: Removed obsolete option to make ReClock the default renderer
  • Change: uses proper OS function to register the hotkeys to avoid conflicts. As a side effect, this could cause slightly improved playback
  • Change: logfile location will be the user's desktop
  • Fix: Sync problems when using the real time AC3 encoder. Fixes startup problems with PowerDVD and TMT. Works fine now! :-)
  • Fix: Access rights for registry keys weren't set correctly (Windows Vista)
  • Various fixes and improvements

New in ReClock DirectShow Filter 1.8.1.1 Beta / 1.6 (Sep 22, 2008)

  • Some minor fixes and improvements

New in ReClock DirectShow Filter 1.8.1.0 Beta / 1.6 (Sep 18, 2008)
