Haali Splitter Updated

Whoa, i didn’t know Haali Media Splitter was updated recently ! and i’m still using the old version (it’s not that old though) so now the current version of this software is 1.6.224.23 (the one that i’m currently using now after updating the Haali Splitter). And it seems the only new features that can be seen by me (by looking at the Haali Interface / Properties) is that Haali Splitter now support the MPEG-TS container.

But for those who didn’t know, Haali Media Splitter in a simple way is a tool to demux a container file so the video / audio within the container can be rendered through the decoder.

Here’s an example on how this Splitter works in a simple way :

Your Video Files / Input => Splitter => Decoder => Renderer

If you still don’t get it, maybe below example can make you understand how splitter works :

Your video files encoded using Divx / XVid and using MKV as the container called Movie.MKV => Installed Splitter / Demuxer on your system and in this case it was Haali Media Splitter => Installed decoder on your system, it can be Divx Decoder / XVid Decoder / FFDshow / etc => Renderer and this renderer can be VMR (Video Mixing Renderer) or just Overlay

So that means in order the video / audio files decoded it goes through several steps like the example above.

And the conclusion is by using the correct media splitter you can play almost all media files out there, instead of using a Codec Pack that is over 5 MB in size, you can play MKV / MP4 / AVI / OGM by using only Haali Media Splitter that is only below 1MB in size but don’t forget you’ll need the decoder too in order to decode the Video Files. But by using FFDshow the decoder problem can be solved easily because FFDshow can decode almost all video / audio files out there. So that means with only 4MB in size you can play major video files / audio files in your computer … but this is getting of topic because i was explaining about Haali Splitter updated not about video files … so i’ll explain about this in later post :)
