Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

[otheos]

Thanks for the replies (and happy new year).

I will try 940 now, as for the luminance is there something I can do?

Thanks again.

Edit: It's funny it took me six and a half years to post here although I keep reading posts all this time. Wow.

I had reported some time ago the following:

I have noticed that using VMR9 exclusive full screen the slider to move around the movie diseapears after only 1s even if the mouse pointer is still on top of it.

With old releases (more than 6 months ago), one had to move away the mouse pointer to make the slider disappear.

I would be grateful if you could put back the old behaviour or at least to offer an option as it is now very hard to use the slider. Many thanks.

I didn't get any feedback. Am I the only one who has this problem? I would be grateful if you could post a fix or give a workaround since because of this "bug", it makes quite hard to use the latest version with all the great new features.

Thanks again for your great product and happy new year 2009!

According to x264 wiki, we can use 5 refs with a resolution of 1920x816 and keep dxva support. I am trying it, but mpc video decoder is not working very well. It runs with dxva, but some of the frames show corrupted squares.
In software mode, it works fine, no corrupted squares.
I uploaded the file here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5ID60EXN

I am using XP SP3, mpc-hc v1.2.940.0, GF8600GT, 178.24 drivers.

Would this be a mpc decoders bug, a drivers bug, a x264 bug, or simply I can only use 4 refs? With 4 refs, it works fine.

use the latest nvidia beta-drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_180.84_beta.html
with those you can decode in DXVA even 1080p with 11 REFrames

I have now tried 940 to no avail. Maybe if we could follow the luminance issue?

Thanks.

"whites are too bright while dark colours are all black." this occures when you use twice the conversion to "0-255" Levels. like using the (16,235->0,255) Shader in MPC-HC and at the same time the full range option of the Nvidia drivers.

[otheos]

Thanks for the tip. I looked into it and no shaders are running. Enabling (16,235->0,255) on MPC-HC makes things even darker (unwatchable).

Also I am using an ATI card and on CCC I get the option to change pixel colour.

But it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever. Maybe my drivers installation is broken.

Thanks for all the help.

Why not use the ati drivers? I am using 8.12 on Windows 7.

I have notebook.

When playing a DVD, MPC-HC freezes for about 5-10 seconds when shifting it from one monitor to the next. After it unfreezes, it seems to have either skipped forward a chapter or just randomly skips forward x amount of time.

I do not know if it works on 7, but try that. it allows the standard drivers to work with notebooks.

Yes I know about it but it breaks DVXA and crashes Win

I just read on wikipedia that the radeon 4300/4500 have a minor revision of UVD called UVD2.2

According to the AMD website and wikipedia article and several forums:

-These card support full bitstream decoding of MPEG2(in UVD instead of the previous shader assisted decoding)
-These cards support Assisted decoding of MPEG1 and DIVX
-These cards fix compatibility with h264/vc1/mpeg2 files (possibly allowing for L5.1 decoding)

Does anyone have access to one of these cards? (the 4300 series is not recommended for any deinterlacing/post-processing testing)

Silly question of the day.
Every time I download one of these there are a lot of dlls with the exe.
Do I need to do anything with the DLL or just have them in the same folder I unpack the mpcplayer?

[nae1986]

One .dll contains icons, others are for localization.
I only keep "mplayerc.exe" (plus the .ini) and all is working fine.

I have a problem playing an MKV file that has an unusual characteristic - it has two audio streams, one DTS and one "Vorbis". The encoder made the Vorbis stream as the default, evidently, because it comes up with that one playing. I am using Haali Splitter and when I select the DTS track, it does not work.

My guess is that since DTS requires a different group of filters, it would seem that Haali Splitter audio selection does not change the filters loaded by MPC.

I tried enabling the Internal Audio Switcher, but it only shows one choice of "MKV file audio".

( I can play the file with the Vorbis audio without problems, and I can play other MKV files that only have DTS audio tracks, but I cannot change from Vorbis audio to DTS audio using Haali Splitter. )

Any thoughts ?

Would be nice to have some of the bugs here be acknowledged by the devs.

And on that note, my issue in #4848 still happens.

You mean:

" Well, we're not going to fix that ... oh, that one we're not going to fix ... no way I'm going near that one... "

The problem with open source is that everyone is a volunteer, and ultimately there is no compulsion or authority, and developers are free to waste thousands of hours with DXVA that will be totally obsolete in 2-3 years, and is largely impractical right now due to the large number of inconsistencies and nonconformities.

But then again, it's been over 25 years, and Microsoft still hasn't fixed the major bug of windows stealing focus either...
