Can't confirm that. I recorded the cpu usage using perfmon on two different video files. Each test has passed three times and i then calculated an avarage value.

First i ran CoreAVC 1.1.0.5 on overlay-mixer and haali (media player classic). Since haali needs alot more cpu i decided not use it in the tests.

I think there are technical limits for decoding speed and CoreAVC is probably close. However, main thing is that they fixed alot of bugs. I am sure we will see a speed improvement when they implement GPU support.

Edit:Error of measurement is about +-1%

Thunderbolt8 · 16th November 2006, 16:59

so according to these graphics, the speed increase / cpu usage decrease is basically neglible ?

considering my other point, I am right with the assumption that 1.2 is currently only available as update for those who already bought it ? if yes, when will the page be updated for the rest ?

Sharktooth · 16th November 2006, 17:03

They sell coreavc 1.2 on their website. And no, its not only an update.
However im skeptic about activation and i will think twice before buying it.

If you haven't bought it, then how did you get it?

www.coreavc.com

You can buy CoreAVC 1.2 on www.coreavc.com (not coreavc.corecodec.com, this sub-domain has to be redirected i think)

Edit: Sirber beats me..

Have you got 4 CPU/Cores or are you planning to have them?

Malow · 16th November 2006, 17:41

no trial version?

Sharktooth · 16th November 2006, 17:43

Seems the trial version donwload button is not yet linked... so, guess what?

as a matter of fact... yes. my issue is not that i totally need 4 cores to handle avc streams. it is the fact how corecodec handles their customers. (yes i allready wrote a mail directly to them).

He missed a few.

From the Company section:

"Founded in 2002, CoreCodec, Inc. is [?] privately held corporation whos focus is on Audio and Video Multimedia Technology."

SDK Licensing:

"CoreCodec offers pricing for licensing the source code for CoreAVC within it's SDK (Software Development Kit) for third party H.264 playback integration."

"after the evaluator/licensee completes a non disclosure, software evaluation agreements and answers a licensing questionaire."

And why does the bottom of the page say "This Category is currently empty "?

Just trying to help!

I read somewhere that you can just download the file again and activate the new download. That would still stop illegal distribution and thus might be possible but would give you the option to reinstall it as often as you want.
I can confirm that the .ax has some bytes changed everytime you redownload the installer... I did not install the new version yet, as I'm still not trusting the new activation. And with no speed improvements (as reported by JFu) and no others advantages for me I'll keep running 1.1.0.5.
