AMD Releases ATI Catalyst 10.7 WHQL Software Suite

Cat 10.7 has caused my system to BSOD on reboot. This is the second time I've had to use system restore to roll back to 10.4a because I can't get Windows to enter safe mode from some reason.

I installed 10.7 over 10.4a though, so I will be doing a full wipe of the CCC and drivers. I'll report back if it continues to give me trouble.
 
Always worked for me just fine, CCCP was a PITA

it works really well - even on legitimate blu ray disks (and my god, is it better than powerDVD10 for that)

until this combo, i have NEVER seen a bluray disk played with lag free seeking.



MPC-HC is my weapon of choice, but it cant play BR.




Ewwwwwwies. why do people use K-lite? its les terribleh

when you're trying to make a weak system play HD files, CCCP is the best. VLC has always been buggy/incomplete (for example, SPDIF audio was broken for years - it still might be)

How was CCCP a PITA? It has no conflicts, unlike KLite. KLite is crap. If you aren't gonna use CCCP, at least use Shark007's codec packs.

some people like to install it over the top of existing codecs and it dont go well.

In other words, user error, not the pack's fault.
 
what clean install straight, didnt work, Removed it completly installed KLite and it worked.

Very true! ffdshow tryouts FTW! Ever since they added hardware x264/VC1 decoding they've been my favorite codec pack bar none. I most often use ffdshow [tryouts] in conjunction with MPC-HC. On my HTPC I use CoreAVC 2.0 with CUDA acceleration combined with MPC-HC which allows me to decode, at least so far, any x264 file no matter the number of reference frames. My HTPC has a weak and partly broken CPU and I've found that in order to play HD movies I need to use ffdshow's AC3/DTS/AAC decoder for audio (and HDMI passthrough), CoreAVC 2.0 for video and MPC-HC to wire it all together.

Sorry for being OT, but in my experience VLC is a godsend for MAC and Linux but succeeded by better software on Windows.

EDIT:
CCCP uses ffdshow tryouts (among other things) so why not cut out the middle man? Even if you install ffdshow via CCCP you still need to know what you're doing to configure it properly. Haali's MKV splitter is awesome but it's also available in a seperate installer.

the tryouts are in the latest CCCP, btw. you need the beta, not the final.
 
I'm not sure what you mean about needing the beta. The beta of CCCP or the beta of ffdshow tryouts?

I'm currently using ffdshow tryouts 32-bit generic rev. 3476 by clsid (ffdshow_rev3476_20100615_clsid.exe) which is actually newer than the latest beta build on the front page.

The latest version in the generic SVN repository by clsid is rev. 3507 (ffdshow_rev3507_20100707_clsid.exe).

I'm posting this for people who aren't used to sourceforge and SVN repositories.

beta of CCCP has FFDSHOW tryouts, so you get the hardware accel.
 
After upgrading from 10.4's it immediately bricked my system, Windows locked up and blue screened and then from there computer would instant reset on entering windows. Couldnt windows repair, and couldnt boot into safe mode and remove as it would say that no drivers were found. After a fresh install of Win 7 >< Im stickin with 10.4s

hint hint: 10.4's dont like being upgraded. you really should have used that opportunity to go 10.7 from the start.
 
Had probs with ePSXe and it's D3D driver after the upgrade. OpenGL worked though isn't as nice.

Peggle would freeze at the loading screen as well.

Works again when reverting to 10.6.
 
This helped!!!! - Great solution. Tnx!
