New(er) VSFilter Fork

[yakemito]

XY-VSFilter: Released 1/8/2012
Based on vsfilter 2.39  (CCCP and MPC-HC internal subtitle renderer use vsfilter 2.40)
From author's site:

Much faster than Official VSFilter 2.39 & 2.40
Subpics are now drawn directly in YUV/RGB as needed to improve performance
Official VSFilter always rendered subtitles in RGB and did a RGB -> YUV conversion when outputting YUV formats
More efficient Blur code
Alpha blending on dirty areas of the frame only
Alpha-blending with sub-sampled/interlaced chroma where applicable
Addition of numerous caches to speed up animated effects
Proper implementation of animation detection to speed up static typesetting
New script parser to speed up loading of very large subtitle scripts
75% reduction in CPU load overhead when idle

Apparently it shares bugs with vsfilter 2.39 that were fixed with vsfilter 2.40, but I doubt a bug will show up in normal use. I tried it with a few different groups in 8 and 10 bit. From older releases to newer karaoke'd subs, it seems to look cleaner as well as lower cpu usage.

For downloading and install instructions (for CCCP users check middle of page),  go to author's site here: http://code.google.com/p/xy-vsfilter/

maybe you should start a compiled work of every updates including MPC-HC, CCCP, LAVs, MadVR, etc. and pin it, saves alot of space.

Not a bad idea . . . Is there nothing like that already? Honestly I'm a a noob at forums- I had to google 'pin' to figure out what you're talking about
