  • [r4513]
  • Fixed compilation warnings/errors when using Windows SDK 7.0 (e.g. VC10's WSDK)
  • [r4512]
  • Sync with IntelQuickSync Decoder 0.43 (rev90)
  • - D3D11 decode + VPP is not default will be used only when needed.
  • - D3D11 performance enhancement
  • - Codec name now specifies which HW acceleration is ued (D3D9/11)
  • [r4511]
  • Fix possible deadlock with downstream filter.
  • Based on patch of Mark Opaskar.
  • [r4510]
  • sync with QS decoder r88 - compilation issues when win8 SDK wasn't installed.
  • [r4509]
  • updated blacklist
  • [r4508]
  • Sync with IntelQuickSync Decoder 0.42 (rev87)
  • - D3D11 decode + VPP. Windows 8 only feature. May not work on switchable graphics solutions.
