LAV filters 0.72.0.1-git with VIDVOX HAP support (v0.1-alpha)
=============================================================


This package contains a custom version of the gorgeous LAV DirectShow filters by
Hendrik Leppkes - all credits go to him!
https://github.com/nevcairiel/lavfilters

This version adds support for the HAP codec family by VIDVOX which allows
GPU-accelerated video decoding via texture decompression (S3TC).

For more details on HAP see:

This version of the LAV filters supports the following HAP flavors:
- HAP (Hap1)
- HAP Q
- HAP Alpha
- HAP Q Alpha

Supported containers are (at least) AVI, MOV and MKV (matroska).


Requirements
============

This HAP-enhanced version of the LAV filters requires a 64-bit Windows OS.
I so far tested it successfully in Win 7, Win 8.1 and Win 10.


Usage
=====

Download and unpack the zip file, keeping the original folder structure.


a) Testing

For testing without installing the filters, just run batch script
"test_hap_directshow_local.bat". This should play the included sample video
"sample-1080p30-Hap.mov" in fullscreen mode (hit "q" or ESC to quit the player).


b) Installation

To "install" the filters - to make them available to any DirectShow-64bit based
player in your system, like e.g. WMP or MPC-HC/MPC-BE - copy the folder "lav" to
some permanent location, like e.g. your user folder, and then run - as admin,
i.e. by selecting "Run as administrator" from Explorer's context menu - the
script "__register_run_as_admin.bat" in this folder.

You can "uninstall" (unregister) the filters anytime by running
"__unregister_run_as_admin.bat" (as admin).

After installation, e.g. MPC-HC (x64) should also play the sample video fine.
But you can also use batch script "test_hap_directshow_installed.bat" in the
original folder to check if the filters are installed correctly. Again, hit "q"
or ESC to quit the player.

To configure any of the 3 LAV filters (LAV Audio, LAV Splitter, LAV Video), run
batch scripts "_LAVAudioConfig.bat", "_LAVSplitterConfig.bat" or
"_LAVVideoConfig.bat" in the folder to which you "installed" the filters.
