I'm using DXVA with the Cyberlink decoder

Jong - can you post the filters that MPC-HC is using to decode the DVD? Thus far, subs and menu highlighting only work for me with the Cyberlink decoder if I explicitly disable DXVA. With DXVA enabled, I can use the menus but there is no highlighting and subs don't show up. I'm beginning to think this might be some sort of version incompatibility, because so far no combination of external MPEG-2 filter and renderer works to get both DXVA and subs. Are you using the decoder from PowerDVD 9?

I have used both 7 & 8 in my time (don't have 9). Currently using 7. I definitely have no issue with menus & VMR9 (on XP SP3). EVR however does not show menu highlighting. I thought that had nothing to do with MPEG2 decoder, but now you have me thinking!

I will try to publish the filter list by tomorrow.

Thank you for your help. I'd love to get this all working now that I'm renting a lot of foreign-language DVDs where I need the subs.

Are you using XP or Vista? If XP you are using VMR9 renderless, aren't you?

I'm on Vista SP2 x64. I use EVR Custom by default, but I've tried various combinations of decoders and renderers including VMR9 Renderless and I still can't get both DXVA and subtitles working at the same time.

Ah well my info may not be much use then.

As you probably know from the DXVA Support page, on Vista you have to use EVR CP. With EVR CP I get no menu highlighting, which may or may not be related to Cyberlink (I will test tomorrow). I do have a Vista 32 system, not a Vista 64 system, but I have not got Cyberlink on that system. I wil try to install the Cyberlink codec on Vista over the weekend and see how it goes!

Thank you, Jong. I'll see if any online retailers are still selling PDVD7 and see if I can use that decoder within Directshow. Since I have the same problem with Microsoft's MPEG-2 decoder and the Arcsoft one, I doubt that will help. Thank you for the info though.

Building MPC with the latest DirectX SDK?

Is it possible to build the latest svn revision of MPC with the latest DirectX SDK? I get a lot of errors indicating missing include files (and perhaps missing libraries as well when I come that far). Any hints anybody? Thanks! -A

But you're not using DXVA in that shot, as far as I can tell. That's what I'm trying to do: get both DXVA and subtitles from MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer when playing a DVD using any of the Microsoft/Cyberlink/Arcsoft decoders.

Thanks, but KMPlayer isn't going to do me any good if it can't do subs and DXVA simultaneously. I can already do one-or-the-other as it is.

Do you want DXVA decoding, or deinterlacing, or what? The MPC-HC internal subtitle engine works fine for me with DXVA deinterlacing (using the ffdshow Video Decoder). Using EVR Custom on Windows XP.

ffdshow doesn't do DXVA. I want DXVA decoding with any external decoder (Microsoft, Cyberlink, Arcsoft) plus the display of DVD subs using MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer. Maybe it can't be done, but I'd like to get a definitive answer.

I can't find a way to activate it, because the popup menu item is disabled unless you are playing a video in D3D fullscreen, but then you can't see the popup menu!

Thanks Leak... you were right.

It turns out that somehow I had "2d surfaces" selected. Changing to "3d Surfaces" fixed everything, and it now behaves as expected.

Would it helps if U install all the directx sdk in the same root folder, like overlapping each one. Thanks.

Gosh, go away for a couple of days, and people are reinventing the wheel !

The Cyberlink MPEG2 + DXVA + DVD bug is well known and is already in the bug database. It is known for menu highlighting, I am not sure that subtitle aspect was previously known or not, so that may be an additional bit of information.

Not sure what would happen then. At least it would be an "unclean" build as it would be based on two versions of the SDK that wouldn't necessarily be compatible and could indeed be in conflict. Hopefully some experienced MPC dev makes the effort to bring everything up to date (if there isn't a magic trick that I haven't discovered). -A

It did not mention the subtitle problem I have added it.

It was unclear if it affected just Cyberlink or all MPEG2 decoders in DXVA mode. I can confirm IG's comment it also affects the MS decoder.

It also suggested it affects all Windows versions, but XP SP3 definitely works fine here (with VMR9 renderless).

I don't think PDVD7 will help, although I have not tested it. It does seem to affect all DXVA MPEG2 decoders on Vista (EVR CP).

if you look in the bug tracker though you will see you can get it to work by regressing to an earlier version. Maybe you can use one version for DVDs and one for other things?

Also, unless you are right up against it on CPU (and your PC would have to be very old) Kumi's suggestion of DXVA deinterlacing and ffdshow decoding sounds pretty good. DXVA deinterlacing is why I use the Cyberlink decoder.
