Anyway, if it comes down to having to jump to the main title manually, I have noticed that opening the main title's IFO file (something like vts_01_0.IFO) manually works very well no matter what filter/renderer I'm using. Of course that doesn't give me access to the chapters but I don't care about chapters so much. It's not even that the madVR+MPC combo doesn't like DVDs, it just doesn't like VIDEO_TS.ifo hehe |

madVR 0.67 crashes on 4:4:4 input (from lavvideo decoder), 0.66 works fine (samples are already posted).
On the MP4 problem: Found out itīs not perfectly reproduceable, sometimes it doesnīt work, sometimes it just takes very long. But it seems to me decoder is losing sync (ffmpeg and intel both have the problem, but different). With some file if you try to seek, video starts again from beginning. Problem only with madVR decoder, lavvideo, lavcuvid and ffdshow work fine. Unfortunately I cannot post a sample, the files with the problems I cannot post for different reasons, and all small samples I mux myself work fine. Maybe someone else can find a small sample with the problem and upload it. Another question: Will you continue with the work on madVR internal decoders or try to make nevvideo+madVR an optimal solution for high quality video presentation?

I plan to continue to work on the madVR internal decoders, but of course I will also do whatever is needed to make external decoders work as well as possible. |

Update on DVD compatibility.
I works now after installing LAV Audio and making sure MPC uses it. I didn't even have to look into that arcsoft dts dll. Though it won't use LAV Cuvid. It falls back on ffdshow or whatever filter it can find that reads DVD (my favourite being NVidia Decoder for hardware acceleration). Still, better than not working at all. Thanks for the help guys. |

Hm I really don't get how you got it to work. What MPC build are you using? What decoder are you using? I'm sure madshi will have a solution soon anyway

LAV Splitter (latest) LAV Cuvid Decoder (latest) NVidia Video Decoder (also works with ffdshow video decoder) LAV Audio Decorder (latest) madVR 0.66 Now it works fine even when using File -> Open disc or simply inserting the DVD in the drive... Go figure *shrug* Last edited by Wile-E-Coyote; 19th July 2011 at 21:33. |

I just noticed that subtitles sometimes start blinking/stuttering for like 0.5 sec while switching to the next line. It happens very rare and isn't too annoying. I didn't even use the decoders you gave us with 0.67 (I used CoreAVC). Just sayin, maybe it's that bad timestamp problem?
Edit: I tried to reproduce that problem, but it doesn't happen on the same spot. - It didn't happen at all. This is completely random. I use MPC-HC 1.5.2.3423 with following external filters: CoreAVC Video Decoder *prefer madFLAC Decoder *prefer ffdshow raw video filter *prefer (for some post-processing) I have set madVR under Playback -> Output. CoreAVC outputs YV12 only. Same does ffdshow raw video filter. Last edited by HitomiKun; 19th July 2011 at 23:50. |

BTW, the audio playback (and the logging) continues after the screen freezes or goes black.... How about a little more sophistcated logging scheme??? Maybe an option to define a log size and overwrite in round robin fashion? Or an option to control what's logged? I'll try and see if I can get you a complete log, but when a minute of video creates a multi MB log, it's pretty tricky. BTW I am also seeing multiple lines of red text flashing up onto the upper left of the screen, but it's only there for a frame or two, so it's impossible to read....

Is that 300MB before zipping it or after? Try RAR, you'll be amazed how small the files get!! The logs are just simple text files, so they compress extremely well. Text files like this is exactly where ZIP/RAR work best. |

So what I understand from you is that the value of the Black video level (which is 16 no?) in the test pattern is changing (to 0)if I use PC levels so I can't see the -4% black bar ? Quote:

Please understand that all DVD and Blu-Ray players by default output TV levels, not PC levels. And by far most TVs and projectors expect TV levels. So what Joe Kane says is true, because he silently implies that you're using TV levels. PC levels are not commonly used in the CE world. PC levels are mostly used by PCs. Surprise! That's where the name comes from. Windows always renders black to 0 and white to 255. If you ask your video player to output PC levels, it outputs black as 0 and white as 255. As a result BTB is cut off. Which type of display are you using? If it's a computer type display, it might expect PC levels. In that case: If you connected a standalone DVD or Blu-Ray player to your display, you would probably have raised black levels. The image would look similar to what you see when you switch madVR to TV levels. Computer type displays were never made to show BTB. Some displays and some CE sources (mainly PS3 and Xbox) can be switched between PC levels and TV levels. So because of PS3 and Xbox the whole PC levels topic has been growing more important in the CE business, too. P.S: Most DVD and Blu-Ray players actually output YCbCr and not RGB by default, and YCbCr is pretty much always TV levels. The difference between PC levels and TV levels mostly only applies to RGB.

Ok for your help
It seems I've got confused "because he silently implies that I'm using TV levels" My display accepts all levels (see my signature) and the EVR normally looks like madvr PC levels but I've manually "adjusted" the CCC's video settings so I can see BTB with pc levels (stupid now I know)

Thanks, the files do compress amazingly well.
Here are the links to the files: http://www.yousendit.com/download/cn...SU9OMUJjR0E9PQ http://www.yousendit.com/download/cn...eDN3NUpjR0E9PQ Vern |

I've checked out your logs and the cause of the problem is that at some point when the playback window resolution changes (e.g. happens if you resize the player window, or switch between fullscreen and windowed mode), and madVR tries to update all GPU resources accordingly, madVR can no longer create or upload Direct3D vertex buffers. It just fails, for whatever reason. When that happens, madVR can not render any frames, anymore, as a result the screen stays black or frozen, and madVR tries to render again all the time, probably pushing the CPU to 100%. The big question is WHY can madVR not create or upload the Direct3D vertex buffers, anymore? It would be a GPU driver bug. Have you tried updating to the latest driver version? It could also be madVR just running out of GPU memory. I see you're using a 3dlut. Does the problem go away if you disable the 3dlut? I'm asking because the 3dlut is of course eating GPU memory like crazy. You could also try switching to a 7bit 3dlut. Or maybe turning off Aero would also do the trick? |

Here is one more case when the picture freezes, while the sound keeps running. It happens only on the secondary display in fullscreen exclusive mode. When I switch back to windowed mode, it unfreezes the picture.
http://www.mediafire.com/?hg5we3qf2lu0jrd I can reproduce the freezing by open/minimize/maximize a window of another app on primary display. But it happens also by itself, sometimes after 15 minutes of playback, 1 hour etc. I'm using the NVIDIA 275.33 drivers. Last edited by zeroo; 20th July 2011 at 14:23. |
