neuron2,
Could you please to publish your todo list or roadmap? Is it possible that you'll decide soon to switch your soft to VP3 engine? If so, when it can happen? I think about upgrade my video card. And I do not want to buy old junk that you may reject to support in nearest future.

Sell your card on ebay and get one with VP2 or greater. Last edited by Guest; 17th August 2009 at 14:47. |

You are using some code and do not know exactly when it will stop to work properly on which cards. Is it a good practice? Don't you think that any of your user may change his card as frequently as you change the code? In response to this question, please do not forget that the card can be used not only to decode the movie. There are different price categories for the cards from the same manufacturer (from $35 till $600). BTW, top Nvidia cards does not use VP3 engine according to Wikipedia. Quote:
And may be you have any idea why Power DVD Player (it is using the same functionality of NVidia card (deinterlace) as your soft) works properly with my video card and your soft is not?

Neuron2 has stated on his website that VP2 and above are supported. That's because Nvidia has guaranteed that VP2 and above will work. If that isn't the case, then he will refund your money.

But you always have a choice: to use new features or not. I am speaking about this. And may be you have any idea why Power DVD Player (it uses the same functionality as your soft (ie deinterlace)) work properly with my videocard and your soft do not? This is because D3D?

When I encode my VC1's to AVC, I like to be able to use avisynth's ssim test to measure the encode to the original. Problem is that dgdecodenv doesn't allow multiple instances. From looking at your conversation with the Nvidia guy, it appears this is a limitation of CUDA. Is it possible to workaround this issue by implementing it into dgdecodenv somehow?

Yes, I think so. The API offers the old way and the new way. I chose the new way for performance reasons. I have no interest in supporting your card's VP1 engine and I'm not going to make an option to choose the method. If you don't like it, I'll refund your donation.

Ok. Did you test performance of old and new methods? If so, could you publish results or may be point to these results on NVidia site? This information is necessary to me to decide whether to upgrade my graphics card.

But for you, clearly an upgrade to a VP2+ card is going to give you a bugger bump than going D3D-less. |

Since CUDA is a crossplatform API it doesn't have to be dependent on any Windows only APIs like DXVA. So nVidia made the NVCUVID API DXVA-less and D3D-less. I hope this answers your question better. LE: One more thing I forgot to write about. The VP1 doesn't have an Bitstream Processor, so that has to be done in software mode. This can be done using specific APIs (like DirectShow, GStreamer) or nVidia has to write its own software decoder. In the end nVidia chose to support only the hardware decoding capabilities of the VP2+ chips.

Actually, in NV beta 7, the indexers are D3D-less but the server is not, due to an Nvidia bug that will be fixed in the next driver version. So we have to wait for that also. |

If any of these (all nitpicks) have been mentioned already, I apologize, but here goes:
1. In NVbeta7's DGAVCIndexNV's About box, it sez 1.0.14 beta 6. Maybe correct/intentional tho I notice while the other MPG/VC1 tools have different numbers, they show beta 7. 2. In testing/trying older versions to nail-down a problem, I did along the way rename my folders to "/DGbetax". Later I noticed I could not open my .avs w/Vdub anymore: Avisynth open failure DGSource: Invalid license After hand-wringing re: MachineID and License and MAC address et.al., I realized the problem was that I'd renamed my DGTools directory, because within the .dga I'd created it still expected /DGTools. So the problem wasn't an "Invalid license" at all but rather failure to find /DGTools. Not sure if this is fixable, or worth fixing at all (pilot error)... 3. When I run CUVIDServer and do an x264 encoding, when that encoding is done I index my newly-created .264 file, and then try to open w/Avisynth-Vdub and I get an error from the still-running-from-the-encode-process CUVIDServer (sorry I didn't note the error). Usually (always?) results in CTL-ALT-DEL to force End Process of CUVIDServer, but then I run it again and my avs/vdub works. FYI |
