Pre-release

Initial build with modern libass, v0.13.0. DirectWrite font backend is enabled on Windows Vista and newer. XP users get to suffer fontconfig.

DirectASS is not bug-free. I can't currently recommend it for everyday use, but it does need to be tested.

Non-exhaustive list of bugs:

  • Not always picking up the right fonts (ones that aren't installed on the system?)
  • Subs might always be converted from RGB->YUV as BT.601.
  • Colorspace defaults can change video colors.

I am not a DirectShow expert and I don't know under what scenarios the 64-bit build is useful or necessary. It is simply provided because it can be.

To install, place DirectASS.ax somewhere and run in cmd (this must be done as an administrator):

regsvr32 DirectASS.ax

To be used, it must be enabled as an external filter in mpc-hc or another directshow-based media player.

To uninstall, in cmd (probably also as an administrator),

regsvr32 /u DirectASS.ax
