BD-RB: Workarounds for 'reached retry limit. Aborting' error - Page 2

Inspector.Gadget · 23rd May 2009, 22:20

Hey turbojet, I've installed the VC-1 tweak for Arcsoft with 64-bit support and set its merit to preferred. I'm running Vista SP1 x64. Unfortunately, even when using Haali Splitter, WMVideo Decoder DMO still gets called. Is there anything else I have to do?

The arcsoft tweak is very unreliable it seems and I think the main culprit is the arcsoft version. The process I used was installing build 113 which didn't work at all, then I installed build 119 and everything including setting merit to preferred, then restart and everything worked every time on Vista 32/64 and XP 32/64. I then installed a few more patches of later versions found on techpowerup and it quit working on all OS's.

I've added a workaround for Windows 7 users and an alternative workaround for Vista users.

Applied the patch to 119 and it's working fine.

Thanks.

I'm on vacation till Wednesday.
When I'm back I'll try on a clean install and if I still have errors post a sample and everything else needed.

This is true...

It is literally a nightmare to get the arcosft decoders to be recognised by windows if they aren't straight away after installation of TMT.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but how were you able to get TMT 2 working in XP 64. Everytime I've tried to install it I get a BSOD after I reboot. I can boot into the OS by selecting 'last known configuration that worked', but I can never get TMT 2 to fire up afterwards.

Edit: It might be because I'm using build 129. I don't have an earlier version.

Edit 2: I was able to get hold of a copy of 113 and update it to 119. I still get a BSOD after reboot.

I have Vista 64 and was happily running TMT 3. I just reinstalled TMT 2 113 but nothing happened (but no crashes) but when I put on the 119 patch it worked fine.

It must be specific to something you have done on your machine.

meatwad · 25th May 2009, 10:24

Both work fine on Vista 64. The arcsoft forums say they'll never make TMT 3 compatible with XP 64, but I've read where a few people claim to have TMT 2 running on it. They just never explain how they got it working or give system specs.

I was never able to get TMT2 player working on XP 64 but was able to get VC-1 tweak working.

I'll put a note in the post about the BSOD and workaround which is last known config. Thanks for reminding me.

Is there any reason every to uninstall the vc-1 tweak as it seems that you can control which encoder is used by bd-rb with the vc-1 setting in ffdshow?

I can't think of any reason other than it taking up 1xx MB of hard drive space and it running 3 services for arcsoftconnect (can be disabled in msconfig startup)

I added to the original post a more manageable way to deal with directshow filters in Windows 7
Also changed to PDVD7 filters since they are newer (no noticeable difference) and they include H.264 and MPEG2 decoders.

I am having a problem with trying to backup Tell_No_One. It appears to be a VC-1p title and I cannot get BD-RB to get past the initial encode step. I have tried every fix from the Front page of this thread and nothing works for this title. Any suggestions?

ps. I am running the latest versions of BD-RB and FFshow on Win7 64 bit RC1

turbojet · 11th June 2009, 16:37

What's the error message?
