@mariush
It was already known and reported that ATI broke DXVA for the internal MPC DXVA decoder in Catalyst 9.x drivers. Some users say that DXVA works fine with Cyberlink's decoder.
Thanks anyway.

Catalyst 9.2 AGP hotfix is said to have DXVA fixed.

can confirm that. with an agp hd2600 dxva is broken since 8.3 (I think)

there seems to be some problem of mpc-hc with some combination of filters. when I use madflac and ac3filter at the same time (which I need to do to output 5.1 flac tracks as 2.0 as I only have 2 speakers and my soundcard doesnt do it automatically) and then switch between a flac track and an ac3 track of a mkv file (so for example the normal movie track and the audio commentary), then the ac3filter basically disappears when I switch back from ac3 to flac and I dont have those applied setting of ac3filter at playback any more and would have to restart mpc.

when the flac track is the only track in the .mkv then its all fine, then ac3filter and madflac work together fine. but if not and I switch back and forth to that track, then the ac3filter connection and channelconversion from 5.1 -> 2.0 (and all other ac3filter settings) are lost.

Have you patched the registry ? It is necessary with every driver update. I had problems when I updated to 9.2 until I ran the .vbs utility to patch the registry again. After that, all is working correctly.

I'm trying to play a blu-ray folder using MPC-HC svn 1005. It seems to play fine but in the VMR and Video Filter Properties it shows the fps to be 3333333.33 fps. I'm playing the blu-ray folder using File->Play DVD. Here are some screenshots.

UPDATE: The VMR and Video Filter Properties show 23.976 fps using Haali Media Splitter. So the problem is with the internal MPEG TS splitter.

Yeah tried all of the exdeus patches... they have no impact on the problem i am describing. DXVA works with VMR7 and Overlay, just not with VMR9 Renderless. We narrowed down the problem to the VSYNC handling in the custom presenter and/or directx. I think it might be fixable. Let's see when beliyaal is back.

MPC-HC flips targa files vertically:

adoy · 4th March 2009, 22:18

@Snowknight26: I can confirm that, but why would you use MPC-HC for targa files? Just curious...

Egh · 4th March 2009, 22:58

One thing with MPC which is rather weird: I have two monitors, typically display video in fullscreen mode on Haali Renderer.

Most of the times if the video is playing I'm able to give any window an input focus on the other display, switch between application etc, and the video is continuing to play in fullscreen mode. However sometimes that just doesn't work and for no obvious (to me, at least) reason when I click on any window on the other monitor MPC-HC restores to window mode. "On Top" mode is set to "While Playing", monitor output as DISPLAY1, the MPC can be started on any screen per se, fullscreen output is always to a specifiс display. Seems this behaviour is not affected by pausing and resuming video.

Typical usage scenario: MPC started on DISPLAY2 from TC7, drag&drop an mkv file from TC7, alt+enter for fullsceen, video is correctly displayed on DISPLAY1 in 2-3 seconds. Then I continue to use windows on D2 and everything is alright for some time then suddenly when switching applications MPCHC rolls back to window mode and thus goes to Display2 (i.e. the screen the window was started on). It is a bit annoying as then I have to switch focus to MPC window and alt+enter it again, and before I do that video goes blank as apparently DX surface is associated with the other screen.

Any workarounds for that issue or is it caused by windows interface itself?

I wouldn't, I'm just posting on my friend's behalf.

Hi, I use Win XP sp3 and EVR custom renderer. When playing videos in dxva mode, I cant see display stats and tearing test. Those are shown only when dxva2 is used. No problem with vmr9 or nodxva mode. It works with all videos.
Is this bug or some limitation?

EVR + DXVA on XP? ...

tetsuo55 · 5th March 2009, 14:29

Those only work if you check "3d of screen surfaces"

littleD · 5th March 2009, 15:06

Yes, its true. EVR custom use 3d screen by default. But still, when using evr custom everything is ok when dxva2 is active. However, when playing video that can be accelarated only by dxva1 in my card, no statistics and shaders (forgot mention it earlier).

edit: Hmm.. what i found is in that case MPC HC automatically switch to the vmr renderer.

pdanpdan · 5th March 2009, 15:16

With latest version of both MPC-HC and Beliyaal version, after I play any video (mkv h264) with Direct3D Fulscreen activated, and I try to play another one, the player freeze with a black screen.
Video play on a secondary monitor (TV), with interface on primary monitor.
Win XP SP3, ATI 2400 PCI-e, latest driver (9.2), doesn't matter if play through DXVA or software, VMR9 Renderless, VMR9 Mixer Mode active, Lock Back-Buffer active.
If I kill the player and start again it works until I change the video again.
Also if Direct3D Fulscreen deactivated, if I start video on primary monitor and switch to fullscreen on secondary (F11) the video freeze.
If I move the interface on secondary monitor and start video and the fullscreen everything is OK.
It seems that it has something to do with ATI Drivers - just installed 9.2 AGP Hotfix, and the disabled Vector Adaptive deinterlacing and everything is fine now.

What sharpen shaders provides better quality?

According to people who test it on the french forum, the Sharpen complex 2 have better results.

I found a great how-to guide for mpc at nunnally.ahmygoddess.net.

I was looking for information on how to write shader scripts, and found that instead. Where should I look for shaders?
