To decode, we suggest you to use a recent build of FFDShow, DivX H.264 Decoder or a media player that supports H.264 internally - like MPlayer (there are few interesting frontends for Windows: MPlayerUI, MPlayer Frontend), VLC (VideoLAN Client), KMPlayer, etc.
' Important:
- VFW and installer were removed from auto update, VFW is outdated. However, you may try the Leiming's x264 GUI.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, AVISynth and DGIndex are required to use with MeGUI but NOT included.
