Afgelopen zondag is de zeventiende release van Combined Community Codec Pack uitgebracht. Deze versie, die de koosnaam 'Hero of the Workforce' meegekregen heeft, komt acht maanden na de vorige release. Ondanks dat de naam anders doet vermoeden, is het Combined Community Codec Pack eigenlijk een directshow-filterpakket. Het is ooit ontstaan vanuit de anime-community en is sindsdien uitgegroeid tot een verzameling die elke denkbaar audio- of videoformaat af moet kunnen spelen. Naast de nodige filters, worden er ook twee mediaspelers meegeleverd en alle componenten zijn naar keuze te installeren. Hieronder is te vinden wat er in deze release allemaal veranderd is:
Changes:[break]
- Updated ffdshow-tryouts to r2133
- Updated Haali to 2008-03-29
- Switched MPC, Gabest filters, and VSFilter to Media Player Classic Homecinema project. All at r796.
- Bug: "Out of string range" fixed.
- Number of physical cores detected at install (not logical processors because the patch does not properly support HT). Must use Reset Settings to automatically set this option in ffdshow, otherwise set it manually.
- Updated Default Programs (Vista only) for MPC-HC and Zoom Player when installed with CCCP.
- Settings app File Association should also now properly work on Vista (may have not before depending on environment).
- Added S/PDIF options to Settings app.
- Added custom icons and logos to MPC-HC by bb10 (main icon and logo) and Truth Unknown (alternative CCCP media icon). Still includes Chiyo-chan logo!
- H.263+ and AMR now enabled by default for hopefully more 3GP support.
- Various MPC-HC patches: tab order fixed in options, keys reverted to classic MPC bindings, internal subs positioned relative to video (should mimic VSFilter behavior) and buffering disabled, most internal filters disabled (as previously) to allow ffdshow decoding.
