That GPU is not on the supported list linked at my web site. You'll have to check with Nvidia to see if it has a VP2 or greater engine. Then you'll need to get version 191+ drivers from the Nvidia website.

Thanks. I did manage to figure it out and get it working. The 160M is a verson of the GT9300M made for Dell. I loaded the latest dell drivers from Jan this year and still did not work. In the past, the generic nvidia drivers did not work on the dell branded chips but there was some discussion online that that had chaged for the more recent versions.

Loaded the latest 195 beta driver and it now works. Inside MeGUI no less.

A while ago someone gave me a link to an article that explained the formula for estimating CUDA speed for a given graphics card (something along the lines of Number of Pixel Shaders times the memory clock speed) - does anyone have this link or the formula?

Along the same lines... neuron2, how about a small benchmarking application that we could all run to get an idea of relative speeds of different cards/chipsets? I know that we can turn off video rendering and then playback to get the max framerate, but that must surely depend on the content that is being played back (and the disk read speed).

The "CUDA speed" is irrelevant because the decoding is done by the VP engine.

The VP engine speeds are already documented by Nvidia. Also, there is no way I would ever find time/priority to make such a thing.

Feature requests - Cropping filter dialog

I use the Cropping filter a lot, and find myself moving the Cropping filter dialog every time I use it. Its position defaults to the upper-left corner of the DGIndexNV display, which means it is always covering at least part of the top and left edges.

Could you make the Cropping Filter dialog default to the center of the video being displayed? or, perhaps just remember its last position?


Also I'm wondering if it's possible to allow the main window to be moved around on the screen while the Cropping Filter dialog is open. I often forget to make sure I can see all four edges of the video image before opening the Cropping Filter, and it's annoying to have to close the dialog, move the main window, then open the dialog again.


Thanks!

An update after my driver fiasco, there's a website laptopvideo2go where you can download the latest driver and overwrite a modded INF file and install using the 'Have Disc' method.

Long story short, i was able to install v196.86 and use DG NV tools successfully.

I too would like to see support with JoshyD's 64bit AviSynth builds.

Does memory matter?

Hi I'm looking at getting a 256Meg 8400GS to do the video decoding for DGNV but am wondering if there is an advantage to getting a 512Mb version, will the encoding be quicker with more memory or doesn't it matter?

I recommend the 512MB card. It won't be faster but you'll be able to open more simultaneous instances if you need that.

will this work for me

hi, since there doesn't seem to be a trial version for this software, i would just like to introduce my scenario before purchasing to make sure it will work for me. i have panasonic 1080i avchd m2ts files i currently use coreavc to decode and megui to encode with yadif to deinterlace. i have a geforce 220 and would like to do the decoding/deinterlacing on the card and still use megui to encode. would this be possible with dgnv? i know my card can hardware decode/deinterlace the files without issue by playing in mpchc. thanks.

Yes, the GT220 is fully supported, as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PureVid..._.28HD.29_GPUs

It supports the VP4 engine, so you can get some sweet compatibility with it.

Should work fine as 220 has a VP4 engine. You can test with the free CUVID Client/Server if you like, but it shouldn't be necessary.

thanks for the replies. i have the latest drivers (197.13). i tried the cuvid server/client with my 1080i avc files, the "cheese slices" 1080i avc and mp2 files and the "cheese slices" 480i mp2 file and got interlacing while stepping through all of them.

am i using the server/client wrong? i start CUVIDServer in the dgdecnv200b3 folder then start the CUVIDClient in the cuvidclient200b1 folder and then load my avc or mp2, reset and step through. i don't seem to be using anything in the cuvidserver200b1 folder and maybe that's my problem?

OK, so it's interlaced. The sample client has no means to specify deinterlacing. The purpose of the server/client apps is only to test whether your card is supported (and as a model for those who might want to use the server with their own application.). If you get video then the DGNV tools will work for you. You can specify deinterlacing via a parameter to DGDecodeNV() or DGMultiDecodeNV().

What is the problem you are experiencing?

@hydra3333

Thanks for the kind words. They are always appreciated.

I understand that VP4 supports MPEG4 ASP so maybe I will add that at some point.

gotcha. i thought using the server/client would allow me to view the footage deinterlaced if my card could handle it.
