DC-Bass Source Mod, Modified DC-Bass Source Filter with extra features Options

[CoRoNe]

I'd like to introduce DC-Bass Source Mod.

As the assembler of DirectShow FilterPack I've been using the DC-Bass Source Filter for a long time now. My latest version contains DC-Bass Source 1.3.0.0, but also a separate DirectShow filter for Audio CDs (MPC-HC Team - CDDA Source Filter) and one for the lossless audio codec TAK (Livio Cavallo - TAK Source Filter), while the BASS audio library already has an Audio CD add-on and recently I even found a working TAK add-on. So this had to change.
Although it's been a long time since I've last done some coding, I've downloaded DC-Bass Source's source files and after a lot of trial and error I managed to add support for the Audio CD- and TAK add-on.

I'm here on a Windows XP SP3 install and after a lot of testing I can say, it works beautifully here. Afaik DC-Bass Source 1.3.0.0 already worked fine on Windows 7, but since I don't have it (yet), I was wondering if anyone here can test its functionality. I've changed register.bat and unregister.bat so they should work on Windows 7 (I think).

For my DirectShow FilterPack it means it will get a label "discontinued", because it obviously isn't worth to continue assembling a package with only 2 DirectShow filters left; DC-Bass Source Mod and LAV Filters (I don't think anyone would miss the MPC-HC Team - CDXA Source Filter nowadays). Especially when LAV Filters has become so big now that its author recommends to use the installer instead of simply registering the ax-files.

About LAV Filters...If you'd like to use DC-Bass Source Mod merely as a supplement to LAV Filters, I would recommend downloading the 7z-file, because it contains the file Registration_light.ini. Rename Registration.ini to Registration.ini.bak (or something similar) and rename Registration_light.ini to Registration.ini. If you then run register.bat, only those audio formats that LAV Filters doesn't support will be registered and LAV Filters remains fully functional.
As I'm a total newbie with the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, at the moment the installer enables all supported formats and thus overrides those supported by LAV Filters.

[INSTALL]
Run register.bat or use the installer executable.


[UNINSTALL]
Run unregister.bat or, if you have used the installer, go to
'Control Panel' -> 'Add or Remove Programs' and uninstall it
from there. Alternatively there's also an uninstaller in the
installation directory.


[ISSUES]
Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) has limited SHOUTcast/
Icecast support at the moment. So for listening to online
radionstations I would recommend using another media player.
