Re: [xine-devel] win32 directshow problem and 0.9.6

Hi Harm,

On the bad wmv file case: I haven't found anything wrong on demux_asf.
mplayer also don't play it very well, the video looks better than xine
but play speed is completely wrong.

I guess this kind of "xxx.asf plays on avifile/mplayer but not on xine"
will only end when i change our w32 code to be exactly the same used in
avifile. Zdenek has already converted the directshow files to C (using
some of my work) but i'm not sure if this will make into 1.0.

actually, w32codec doesn't use the img->draw() result. The code was this
way before i started playing with it. maybe any metronom wizard can give
us some hints about it... :)
