Comments on: Some blurbs about tweaking mplayer’s codecs https://billauer.se/blog/2009/12/canon-codec-decoder-h264-listdll/ Anything I found worthy to write down.

Anyhow, I would convert the videos to a friendlier format, such as DivX. I use mencoder, but you may prefer a more GUI-oriented application. I can't help you much on this one.

It makes Full HD Movies, but this movies do not run smoothly on every PC i had tried. It got some drop frames. So i tried do use other codecs. With FDDShow i got no sound, but smooth video. When i got sound, i got drop frames. SO i started looking into Canon CD and found this CanonH264Filter.ax. But i have no idea on how to use it. At this time i have a camera with Full HD movies that a can´t watch. And got no solution yet. So i have to agree that this codec used by Canon is bizarre. Ps. My PCs are an Core 2 Duo 2.somethink MHz with 2 GB running WXP 32 bits and now W7 64 bits and an Athlon 64 X2 2.somethink MHz with 4 GB running XWP 64 bits. I got a Canon SX1 IS.
