when I loaded a movie which is in VC-1 format into Dgindexnv it says Missing License file what should I do

My PC specs core2quad, 8gbram, nvidia gts250 a
any help plz

Inspector.Gadget · 14th May 2010, 03:07

Buy a license.

romanjaan · 14th May 2010, 03:14

ok thanks for that but is there any other way to make a dga from VC-1 file

No, I have a monopoly on DGA.

You can try some DirectShow()/FFMPEGSource()/other variant but they sometimes won't work with all VC-1 variants (e.g., interlaced). Followup on that to another thread as this thread is for my tool.

You should buy a license (I did). Its money well spent and not that expensive.

Hello neuron2,
I've a bug report for you (it is of absolutely no concern to me if it is fixed or not--just posting for others' benefit).

The clip is from "The Rock" Blu-Ray.
This screenshot shows apparently corrupted macroblocks on the upper portion of the video (occurs in several places).
It only occurs when seeking (or stepping with arrow keys) in DGIndexNV (playback via DGIndexNV or any other application shows no corruption).
Specs:
DGIndexNV version: 2007
Video Card: Nvidia 8800GT
Drivers: 197.45
OS: Windows XP SP3 32-Bit

Here is the clip:

Thanks for your excellent tools and support!

Thank you for the report, linyx. Looks like an SPS/PPS injection problem. Investigating...

ronnylov · 20th May 2010, 21:29

Hi neuron2!

I want to buy a license by pressing the donate button on your website but I get a white page with the text "fatal error". Using internet explorer 8 on Windows 7 x64. So I can not buy the license right now...

EDIT: Tried again but with with google chrome browser and it worked. Either a temporary fault or a internet explorer problem.

EDIT 2: I can not pay because paypal has blocked my account... No other methods of paying?

Guest · 20th May 2010, 23:21

Take it up with PayPal about why they have blocked your account.

Yup, took me this long just to figure out that it's a PPS problem, now to figure out what to do about it.

DGDecodeNV is OK because the DGI file has all the SPS/PPS's recorded, but in DGIndexNV you can jump on the timeline and the required PPS might be a ways back in the file and not ever encountered. Obviously, I don't want to have to index the SPS/PPS NALUs on open but there may be no other way.

Maybe I can scan back from the seek point for the preceding SPS and PPS. Again, that can take a long time if there is just a single SPS and PPS at the start of the file.

Or maybe we just do nothing and document it as a limitation in DGIndexNV.

AVC was definitely poorly designed for seeking. You cannot just start at an IDR and be guaranteed to get a good decode. IMHO, an IDR/RPS must be immediately preceded by the correct SPS and PPS. Or re-use of SPS/PPS id's for different SPS/PPS content should be outlawed. Then you could know that you are missing the correct SPS/PPS and go looking for them.

Gotta crank up the thinking cap for this one.

Guest · 22nd May 2010, 01:16

OK, boys and girls, I have a fix.

My new strategy for SPS/PPS heuristics on seeking is:

1. Search in the last 5MB before the seek point for SPS and PPS nearest to the seek point. If found use them. (This does not degrade performance noticeably.)

2. If not found, search in the first 5MB of the file for the first SPS and PPS. If found use them.

3. If not found error out.

It works great on linyx's stream and some other SPS/PPS ID re-use streams I have. I need to do some heavy regression testing before releasing it, hopefully this weekend.

I have also implemented tooltips for my cryptic buttons.

Probably next on the agenda will be 64-bit support.

linyx · 22nd May 2010, 02:22

Wow, I really wasn't expect a fix based on your previous post, thanks!

Sorry for causing you so much trouble with this particularly tricky stream.

Don't be sorry. Be happy that you are contributing to improving the program! Anyway, I enjoy such challenges.

Guest · 22nd May 2010, 20:43

Ouch, it's not so easy when you have multiple files loaded! But fear not, I have that working too.

That's why one should always go heavy on regression testing for a major change like this.

* Redesigned the SPS/PPS heuristics for AVC streams in DGIndexNV. This fixes cases of bad decoding when navigating on the timeline for streams that: 1) Have SPS/PPS's remote from the seek point. 2) Re-use SPS/PPS IDs for NALUs with different content. The fix dramatically improves things for such streams, but it may not be perfect because it is, after all, a heuristic. Note that this problem did not affect serving video through the Avisynth script; it affected only navigating the timeline in DGIndexNV (but see below).

* The SPS/PPS heuristics fix also fixes bad video demuxing for the same cases described above.

* Added tooltips for the navigation buttons and navigation bar in DGIndexNV.

* Fixed a problem that caused the DGIndexNV GUI and the DGI file to disagree about the frame size in some rare cases.

* The Detect PIDs dialog now shows the PIDs in both decimal and hexadecimal.

* The Quick Start guide was revised to use DGMultiSource() by default. A second Quick Start guide is provided for DGSource()/CUVID Server usage.

@linyx

While your stream issue is fixed, your test file will still show macroblocks at the start because it was demuxed using the previous version. The macroblocks later in the stream no longer appear.

kebulek · 25th May 2010, 13:26

Thank you neuron2 for new version, but the "Cannot find audio data" error is still present. I just tested .ts, which was cutted with DVR-Studio HD 1 this time, so I guess, it's not TSPE or any other ts editor issue...

Guest · 25th May 2010, 13:30

I had it fixed in my local build but it came back due to a later fix I made for another stream. Thinking about it now I see a way to fix it so both will be OK. I'll make a 2009 with that and release it ASAP.

XadoX · 25th May 2010, 13:34

@neuron2:

Is the commandline cropping bug still in this build?

The values are correctly read as decimal rather than hex. Is that what you refer to? That was already fixed in 2007.

Oh. I think I miss this fact
