Failing playing mjpeg with filestream (win7 64)

regarding the ffdshow problem on windows7. yes …win7 initially uses its own mjepg codec instead of ffdshow.

but i managed to change that behavior using graphstudio.

expecting you have ffdshow already installed…

  1. start graphstudio as administrator like you need to start vvvv for the first time.

  2. choose option ‘insert filter’

  3. in this dialog look for the plain windows7 mjpeg codec and change its merit (merit button) to something like 'don’t use ’

  4. same dialog, find the ffdshow codec and change its merit to please use this frackin thing…

done
