The DiAVC only read the physics drive0 and has non business with other drives.

I'm afraid I would have to agree with Disabled. I would be willing to pay double price for a copy not tied to hardware, but a restriction to HDD/CPU worries me greatly. I'm sure it will work fine in the short term, but I am concerned about the viability of my purchase once you have moved on to other projects, been bought out, etc, and no promise can ease that concern. Even having to repurchase a copy is not that big a deal, but the possibility that you will disappear a few years later and leave me stuck is, I hate to say, not completely unlikely.
Personally, I do not think piracy will cost you as many purchases as restrictive licensing. Edit: On an unrelated note, are the issues regarding registration from last page fixed? Edit2: I think the best chance of making a significant amount of money from DiAVC is to get some company to buy a site license or something similar, and I don't think a per-machine license would be received very well in such a case. Perhaps you could look into offering alternative licensing schemes. Last edited by Stephen R. Savage; 14th February 2010 at 17:14. |

are you really rich bob0r?
If you could buy it and release the sourcecode presumably it could be included in vlc and MPC-HC as the default decoder, how cool would be, millions of people would benefit. I'm sure someone could create a mac version and integrate it into vlc too. Lets hope this can happen as i'd hate for DivX to buy the sourcecode, open source would allow others to improve it and add it to vlc/mpc-hc. |

Well, to be honest, though I admit that DiAVC is a great piece of software, I am not entirely convinced that there is a large market for software AVC decoders. However, I will take your word for it and purchase a copy if the HDD detection/RegisterCode issue has been fixed. On another note, if I possess multiple computers, do I have to purchase a separate license for each?
Edit: Registration still broken. Fadeout, what kind of system are you using? Last edited by Stephen R. Savage; 14th February 2010 at 17:43. |

You can request a serial number by email to me using the email you pay ever.

Tomorrow I will delete all dependences on mfc/msvcr in the DiAVC and start to fix the registration problem.

IMO for starter project high antipiracy protection method is very good... cause it lower greatly illegal copying of program (getting cracked CoreAVC is clicking on second link in google, dunno why google or even CoreCodec makes this possible...)...
also dev will have detailed info how many ppl using his software... and of course more money @ schweinsz - is this bug fixed in final release ? http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...24#post1370924 cause its hell annoying also update your first post with nice info like changelog, settings, some SSs etc... and in some time try making article on Wikipedia about your decoder, cause many ppl learn about sth new form it nice will be changing this horrible web style from Win98 times on homepage to some nice looking (if you dont have time, you can e.g. use WordPress with nice skin) also some GUI minor mistakes and "H.264" text can be deleted or changed to "H.264/AVC" In the near future we will be seeing options like input colorspace (Auto/BT.601/BT.709), deblocking (strength) and deinterlacing (modes) ? Also waiting for Super-resolution support, will be nice to see first decoder supporting this P.S. I will also buy your decoder but now Im poor student... |

The thing is, you can't stop the pirates. CoreCodec "makes it possible" because they figured even after introducing some advanced activation scheme the software was cracked in no time and people don't like buying software they can't use anymore if the developers feel like it. I think especially for unknown projects its essential to not scare away the early adopters. I gave the DiAVC Beta to a few people but won't convince them to buy it, because I don't want to be the person responsible for them not being able to use paid software. And especially if there are free alternatives, you better make sure your customers get the absolutely best version out there - ie no need to activate.

A manual switch to toggle BT.601/BT.709 would be nice, as many streams don't have the colormatrix flag set. Actually, would it be possible to automatically select a matrix based on whether the stream is HD or SD? This could allow a semi-intelligent decision when the flags aren't set. Imo, a switch for deblocking is kind of pointless nowadays, since the most difficult streams to decode are the high-bitrate ones, and those don't really have anything left to deblock.

@ Disabled - but you know, no1 will (IMO of course) wasting time cracking DiAVC, when you have cracked CoreAVC with CUDA support or even free decoders like DivX or ffdshow/MPC-HC with DxVA support in early DiAVC development
when decoder will be better know, you are right, cracking will be matter of time, but schweinsz for this time will probably remove this antipiracy protection method to easier his life for answering emails and lower his time on support @ Stephen R. Savage - this bug exist mostly in EVR/Custom, but I can see it sometimes in EVR and EVR/Sync try e.g. fast mouse clicking on seek bar in MPC-HC |

So performance-wise and feature-wise it doesn't (or at least shouldn't) matter which decoder filter you use to access the H.264 decoder chip. The decoder chip that does the actual work is always the same. Therefore it would be a waste of resources to develop a damn fast software-only H.264 decoder, such as DiAVC, and then offload all the work to the hardware decoder And most important: There already are free DXVA solutions, namely ffdshow-DXVA and MPC-HC. If you need H.264 hardware decoding for Avisynth, you can buy DGAVCIndexNV for a similar price...

Small correction, the package is called DGDecNV, the index app DGIndexNV and the filters DGSource and DGMultiSource, most GUIs cannot use DGMultiSource.

No, I have no plan to use CUDA or ati's STREAM for offloading the cpu decoding, but I have a big plan to use the CUDA or ati's STREAM to post-process the frames, including super-resolution, sharpen, denoise, etc. I plan to code a video renderer to do this. I am learning the cuda.
