LAV Filters - DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders

[nevcairiel]

I looked into the VobSub problem with ffdshow, and i believe what i do is correct. The MPC-HC renderer works fine with it too, just ffdshow at some point drops subs, why is unclear to me as of now - but the output of vob subtitle packages seems just perfect.

Disappearing VobSubs with ffdshow?
Known issue:

Guess we're lucky that VobSubs are ugly anyway.

[jmone]

All true and I've lived with the disappearing VobSubs for ages, what freaks me out is with LAVSplitter I'm now getting Arabic ones appearing! How does that work?

[CruNcher]

There are several interoperability issues of how .ts stuff is handled between MPC Splitter/Decoder (especially MPCs Video Decoder in combination with interlaced H.264) and Lav splitter i gonna report those results @ both parties not sure who will have to make the step in which direction, though i hope both being open there is some thinking of "we have the same goal" at least i hope

Nev, is there any way to have subtitles display but only if the titles and signs track is there?

Whoops, I'll explain:

I have videos which have multiple subtitle streams, one that displays all subs and another which only displays subs for non english spoken parts and signs.
I would like to keep subtitles enabled but have use the latter subtitle stream only, Is there a way I can select subtitles automatically by name? Thanks.

No, by name is not possible. If thats a MKV, get a MKV Header Editor (like mkvmerge/mmg), and flag that stream as "forced" .. if its not a MKV - well, forget it then.

Awesome

@nevcairiel

Are there plans for elementary streams such as .mpv H264 m4v and others ?

[CruNcher]

So there are 2 .ts based issues with MPCs Video Decoder DXVA and Lav Splitter (sample bellow)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?61ynvmy0x47n5b3

HDPVR->Video Parsing enabled->MPC-HC DXVA = works, though unsync
HDPVR->Video Parsing disabled->MPC-HC DXVA = fails, black screen
HDVPR->Video Parsing disabled->LAV CUVID,Cyberlink DXVA = works, stays sync
HDPVR->Video Parsing enabled ->LAV CUVID,Cyberlink DXVA = works, though unsync
HDPVR->MPC-HC Splitter->MPC-HC DXVA = works, stays sync

2nd problem are these H.264 interlaced streams (sample bellow)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0268ha2ucbp39l9

Interlaced TS Stream->MPC-HC Splitter->MPC-HC DXVA = works
Interlaced TS Stream->LAV Splitter->MPC-HC DXVA = fails (no matter Video Parsing enabled/disabled)
Interlaced TS Stream->LAV Splitter->LAV CUVID,Cyberlink DXVA = works (no matter Video Parsing enabled/disabled)

Yea, but you know what's freaky? If I use MPC-HC's internal version of sub handling, I can get subs to work just fine with the Cyberlink Video decoder. It's only when using the "external" registered version that it doesn't seem to work. That's pretty whacked.

nev,
I'm having problems with the Avatar BD (one of the very few I have).
I'm using the CEE version which has Bulgarian subtitles and I can't make LAV splitter recognize and select them automatically.
I guess the problem is that it doesn't recognize the streams correctly ... but MPC's MPEG splitter somehow manages to do it correctly (see the screenshots bellow).
Do you happen to have the same version of the Avatar? Do you get it to automatically select the German track for example?

DTS(-HD) it's broken in latest Nevcairiel-LAVFSplitter-0.24-17-gf2e0fbc
It's playing at a higher speed and with much noise

Language detection on Blu-rays only works if you actually open the Blu-ray files (a .bdmv or a .mpls), just opening a m2ts will never properly detect this with LAV Splitter.

You're right, ffmpeg broke it. I'll fix it.

Edit: fixed, and fix submitted to ffmpeg as well.

[SamuriHL]

Thanks, Nev. I'm building it now for my own purposes.

[SamuriHL]

Watching Megamind (for the first time...just opened it finally) which is TrueHD. The TrueHD track is breaking up every few minutes. Just a small "glitch" and it reconnects immediately but it's a noticeable glitch. sigh.

I simply didn't expect MPC's splitter to be capable of something that LAV one is not.
That's fine with me ... well sort of ... because we'll have to trust that ZoomPlayer (in my case) (or is it LAVSplitter itself?) will select the correct .mpls file.
