Btw I don't 100% sure i.e. AzBox (I don't say about other even expensive but ordinary tuners) can 4:2:2 h264 (not h265) 1920x1080i50
I don't know about Sat as I'm using cable, but I don't understand why TV providers would use certain unusual codec profiles if hardly anybody would be able to receive them?

On my own SAT transmitting providers use 4:2:2 (now more seldom than before) to achieve more quality picture after logos, tickers and so on and recoding to 4:2:0 for the end users like you but in most cases (except color issue need to use software deinterlacing) it isn't problem for LAV Video Decoder

Question regarding LAV Splitter's queue. Would any problems arise if I were to set the Maximum Queue Memory to, say, almost as much ram as I have?
I just got a new hard drive, and it's the loudest thing ever when at low read/write speeds, say the normal 8-14mbs while playing a film. My idea to solve this is to basically have it queue up as much as possible as it's playing, which forces the drive into ~250mbs speeds, which lo and behold, produces no hard drive noise at all.
And if I do do this, do I increase the queue packets too? And to what? I guess my main question is, am I damaging my hard drive or my ram? Haha. Or maybe if there's a better way to get higher read speeds during film playback.

One thing to note however is that the buffer is not "smart", if you seek it'll drop the entire buffer, do the seek in the actual file, and then re-fill the buffer from scratch. Due to that behavior, seeking is actually really slow, since freeing tens of thousands of small memory blocks is actually quite an intensive task to do. Hence why the default buffer sizes are only as big as I dare make them, since it can slow stuff down.
And yes: as I understand you have to increase both queue values.

There was no warez mentioned on my posts, but rather from other members, but OK. May I ask why was nevcairiel's response also deleted, which clarified how LAV Audio works in comparison to other programs?

That clarification the developer wrote can stand on its own without any context, it could help someone who has the same issues in the future.

Oh great. That's good info, thank you! Setting the queue to around 10gb of my available 16, seeking is still quite fast thankfully. For some reason, after the high speeds die down as I hit the maximum allowance, the noise doesn't return during playback. Like forcing it into prolonged high speeds to begin with negates eventual low-speed noise. Go figure. I can't believe hard drives are still like this sometimes. I hate seagate.

I just noticed that some hardware decoders (in my case, Nvidia PureVideo on GTX 1660 Super) may fail decoding AVC with 8 bpc in high resolutions (4K UHD and beyond). Using DXVA2 native or CUVID, I noticed heavy distortions (motion vector related, I guess?) which did not appear without hardware accelerated decoding (avcodec mode). Decoding AVC with 10 bpc or HEVC was fine.

Anyone interested in details? Any suggestions how to possibly configure LAV Filters to fall back automatically in this case?

A sample of the mentioned 4K H.264 8bit clip would help.
I could test it.

Actually, there is no beyond for H.264 HW accelerated decoding.
All HW decoders of three (AMD, Intel, nVidia) stop at 4K regarding H.264 decoding.

Nightsky_2160p.mp4 - watch the bottom left third at around 2 seconds for the most obvious glitches, there are a few more at the bottom.

It happens as well on a GTX 1050 Ti.

Strictly speaking hardware decoders are (typically) limited to Level 5.1 or 5.2, your file is Level 6.0, so it might as well exceed the supported rates of the decoder. What part of it does actually exceed anything, I can't say without a much deeper investigation.
I suppose maybe I should limit the level to 5.1 (or 5.2). I have historically not added many level checks because the levels are often wrong - at least on the lower end, but I guess anyone encoding something at level 6.0 or higher will know what they are doing.

My first best guess is that the size of the DPB is being exceeded as Level 5.1/5.2 do not allow 8 ref frames for 4K, and level 6 allows up to 16. If you wanted to confirm, you could re-encode with at most 5 ref frames to stay within the limits of level 5.2 (or directly enforce level 5.2 limits, if possible)

The resolution alone wouldn't cause this, as we've been decoding 4K H264 content for years now, so the above assumption with the DPB seems most likely.

I'll take a look at the sample when I return home, but since you have already tried Pascal and Turing decoders, I'll try Polaris and Haswell H.264 HW decoders.

The truth is that 8K H.264 is not commercial and H.264 HW decoders have left behind supporting only 4K, although x264 and other encoders can encode H.264 at 8K resolution.

As nevcairiel said, probably someone could encode 4K H.264 at higher level than L5.x which was the highest level at the 4K H.264 era of HW decoders and is mainly used for 4K encoding.

Haswell's and probably onwards Intel's HW H.264 is the fastest (even from Turing) and I have already tested 4K H.264 L5.2 Ref 16 with huge bandwidth (1Gbps) and with success.

However, I haven't tried before 4K H.264 at L6.x using any HW decoder.

Interesting.

The slow and very predictable motion of stars in a nightsky timelapse seems to benefit from long range references. Not much surprising. I guess a very verbose log could reveal interesting details.

I limited the references to 5 (and accordingly the level to 5.1); as expected, no glitches spotted in DXVA2 HW mode.

I tried all HW modes of Intel iGPU (QuickSync, DXVA2 CB, DXVA2 Native, D3D11) and AMD RX 470 (DXVA2 CB, DXVA2 native and D3D11) that LAV Video (latest nightly) provides with EVR-CP and MPC-VR renderers.

Both HW decoders appear to have exactly the same issue with image distortion, as you mentioned using Pascal and Turing.

The only interesting point I want to report is QuickSync that falls back automatically to SW decoding.

I don't know if LAV or Intel's MediaSDK are responsible for this behavior, but it seems that it is what you asked for.

It may be the safe way to assume, according to Murphy's Law, that material flagged as "beyond hardware limits" regarding Profile@Level will probably cause issues, and fall back to software decoding. With or without a choice for the user in the UI. I don't expect any smarter solution than a P@L based decision. A decoding error that happened in a hardware decoder would probably not even be detectable by LAV Filters as the process using it, only by the human eyes.
