Regarding my CUVIDServer note:
Quote:
1. Use a DGTool to index a video, launch CUVIDServer, look at video with avs/Vdub 1.9.0, then run 2-pass x264 encoding using same simple avs e.g. #For h264 DGSource("video.dga") #For MPEG2 #DGSource("video.dgm") #For VC-1 #DGSource("video.dgv") 2. Hours later, after x264 completed, launch DGAVCIndexNV and make a test.dga from x264 output. Note CUVIDServer is still active/in system tray. 3. Using test.avs (just DGSource("test.dga")) Open With...Vdub, get this pop-up dialog: Server cuvidMapVideoFrame() error. [OK] I can click OK on this dialog, but Vdub is "Not responding" and must be closed by End Process, and CUVIDServer is still running but can't be exited by normal means, must also End Process and re-launch it to get it to work. Note that I did try this same sequence on a short test clip, and it worked fine--it did NOT throw the error. Then I tried another full-length video (six hours or so to complete x264) and got the error again. Further, between 1. and 2. above, the PC has automatically gone into "Standby" mode; maybe that is the issue i.e. for my next encoding I will disable this "auto Standby" behavior and see if I get the same CUVIDServer hangup again (maybe it does not wake-up from Standby properly?). EDIT: Well, duh, only after writing-down the sequence above had the "Standby" thing occurred to me. And now that my morning coffee's starting to affect me did I think to simply go to Standby and out again. Sure enough: launch CUVIDServer and open a vid with avs/dgx/vdub. Fine. Go to Standby, come out of Standby (CUVIDServer still running). Try again--Error. This time: Server Failed to create video decoder (100) [OK] Frozen as before i.e. must End Process and re-launch to recover. So the problem is Standby related I believe and maybe (another) Windows XP Pro x64 anomaly, assuming you or others can't dupe this problem. Last edited by laserfan; 20th August 2009 at 13:28.

It'll be gone once Nvidia comes out with the new driver. Neuron2 will update the server to work with the new driver once it's released.

Use Video/Cropping Filter.
It's not a bug and has been discussed. Looks like I'll have to do something different with this as it is causing confusion. Can I please have a stream sample so I can see your frame sizes, etc.? If you don't give a stream, there's a good chance that your issue may not get fixed. Last edited by Guest; 20th August 2009 at 19:37. |

If you read the discussion you would understand.

I will pop up a choice message box if I see the stream cropping. If invoked by the CLI the box will not be popped up and it will always honor the stream's specified cropping. I will also add an auxiliary INI file option to allow you to suppress the message box entirely and always honor the cropping.

I don't know if this is a tsMuxeR question (which sees the re-encoding as 1920x1088) or purely a PDVD quirk, or if I simply need to crop the bottom 8 pixels every time with DGTools--and to that question I didn't see the original NEEDED any cropping. Can someone enlighten me. |

OK then, let me ask a different question: if I open a stream with DGAVCIndexNV that is shown to be 1920x1088, and if it shows video perfection all-around i.e. no black or distorted lines at the bottom, then it's OK not to crop? Or another: If I really don't care about the bottom 8 pixels even if they DO contain "good content" then is there a way to assert the crop setting(s) so I don't have to remember to do them every time? EDIT: I apologize--I see now that if I set DGAVCIndexNV to Display Full HD I can see that the bottom 8 pixels are distorted. I could not see this in the normal display as-opened. OK now I know how to look and how to crop! Last edited by laserfan; 21st August 2009 at 14:59. |

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...69#post1315069 Is it OK to make an output stream with a height of 1088? I'd have to check every application out there to answer that. Quote:
