I supidly caught a virus on my perfectly working XP system so I had to format and reinstall everything and decided to try Windows 7 (someone told me it works "fine" so wanted to check what "fine" looks like).
After several hours I got everything working so I return to what I was doing: transcoding some Mpeg 2 m2v + wav audio to H264 .mp4 to upload it to the net.
I had a simple script:
VIDEO=MPEG2Source("Guilherme Pinheiro 2.d2v")
AUDIO=WAVSource("Guilherme Pinheiro 2.wav")
AudioDUB(VIDEO,AUDIO)
BUT...
It doesn't play on any player. I can hear the audio, screen goes to video mode, recognize the video stream but nothing shows up,just black.
So I tried: Version() it works ok.
Then tried DirectShowSource("DV file.avi")
Doesn´t show, same issue.
After several test I found out this:
With either script (the one using de DV AVI file or the other one with the MPEG + WAV); if AERO is turned off I can play it fine. More precisely, it works fine if you just disable "DESKTOP COMPOSITION" at system's performance option.
So guessed was something with video overlay and DESKTOP COMPOSITION.
With D.C. disabled I fed the script to Carbon Coder and it does not recognize the video stream.
Load it into premiere an that works ok (both with D.C. on and off)
I tried adding ConvertToRGB() to the script and it stopped showing both with D.C. on and off.
So I'm sensing there's some kind of trouble between Desktop Compositing and the way the videos get rendered but I can not find a solution yet.
I would like to keep enjoying Windows 7 "fine" for a while before I go back to XP, beaten so.....
ANY suggestions? Any ideas what is causing this or how to solve it?
Video card is NVIDIA GF 6500 with latest driver available as today.
Windows 7 is build 7100. 32 bits
Avysynth is latest available as today 2.58
ffdshow rev 3222_20100123
PC is Athlon 3500+ running on a MSI k9AGM2 (ATI chipset)
I know it's rather outdated but have no money rigth now to upgrade. Anyway Win 7 should work fine and so far this is THE only thing that is not working properly.
Thanks.
