Is it called 1.0? No? Right.

Also, what tracker? LAV CUVID doesn't have a public bug tracker.

For some reason I figured it would be part of http://code.google.com/p/lavfilters/

Anyway ... just swapped out my last ATI card for a nvidia one. FYI - you are not the only one getting better results from nvidia over ATI. Cyberlinks PD9 can output AVC 50 or 60p using the nvidia GPU but not with ATI.

Splitters:

Haali,

LAV

Video decoders:

ffdshow video dxva,
lav CUVID

Renderer:

EVR Custom.

Avarage CPU usage is around 20%.




With same splitters and video decoders if i use MadVR as renderer, CPU usage climbs to 40% as expected since Madshi says:





EDIT: If you ask me "have you given it a go with MadVR only; as decoder+renderer?": YES, the result never changed.
_ _ _ _ _
I wasn't talking about that DXVA2 works on Nvidia sure it does i was more concerned if Nvidias Telecine does the 24.30 (evil_tree sample) correct either with Lav Cuvid or via DXVA2 over EVR or does in the end also fail like Quicksync does with DXVA2.
But as nev allready mentioned this sample is strange and for such a thing you would need something very adaptive to get it right
Though that it works in a full Software chain (Lav Splitter->Lav Video->EVR) seems to show @ least that Intels Telecine does it's job nicely and Nvidia should not fail here either on EVR with the same Software Decoding setup.

Crunch, with my nVidia GPU, Lav Splitter > Lav CUVID > EVR gives smooth playing; no dropping frames, no jitter but it shows 39 fps (on quality info) at 3-4% CPU utilization. (with Lav Video: 6%) (don't ask how )
But it is a damaged cut and all my experience say "interlaced short mpeg2 cuts are always problemetic unless they are cut by Video ReDo or VideoReDo TV Suite."
So this sample may never be a trial subject imo.

EDIT: I haven't used Cuttermaran for years, this might be another working way to cut the mpeg2 files correctly.

If it is addressed to me, i just said your sample has been cut with a non-suitable SW (IMO) so it has lots of issues. This is not your fault.
Sorry maybe i posted in wrong thread?

It was about the clip, yes, but it was directed at JanWillem who has already answered my questions in another thread.

In any case, I will wait for the Blue Ray release of Game of Thrones (December) before I do anything.

Sounds good (though you shouldn't concentrate to much on any info displays but more on the actual motion with your pure eyes, as you know the stream is totaly wrong and depending on the sended mediatype flag the decoder and renderer will react strange though if it gets the motion smooth everythings fine) it fails on EVR Custom ? what is the result with MadVR ?
Also did you tested on EVR with Nvidias Telecine in the controll panel active or disabled ? (Though Lav Cuvid should overwrite this i guess)

Xaurus: You should also contact the ISV that Software you used to cut this and make him aware of this discussion

Hi Crunch.

I can not see any difference between MAdVR and EVR.
Inverse telecine is enabled or disabled has no effect on the result.
EVR custom (even it shows 23.97 fps) fails; it has lots of dropped frames.
But as i told before this cut can not be reference.
Take care.

I've encountered a problem with a MBAFF 25p (flagged as i) AVC Blu-ray file and think I've diagnosed the troubles. The symptoms are video stuttering and are most prominent with madvr, but you can also see them with EVR. The trouble seems to be with the deinterlacing of the progressive material to 50fps even though the stream header says 25fps. If I turn the deinterlacing off or change the deinterlace framerate to 50p/60p then the stuttering disappears.

Hi nevcairel

I'm a big fan of your projects, and I really love the quality, but I seem to have a performance bottleneck in my system and I was wondering how I might get to the bottom of it.

Decoding MPEG2 1080i streams, in PotPlayer with either EVR, EVR CP or madVR renderers, my system seems at best to drop approx 1 frame per second.

System is an i7/965 at stock clocks with a GTX260 card. Its running Vista 64bit at the moment and is in a dual-head configuration.

I'm planning on a fresh format to Win7 anyway but I'm wondering if my GPU is bottlenecking, and if this is the case whether upgrading to a DDR5 model might help, over the DDR3 RAM in the 260?

The easiest way to check if there is some obvious performance bottleneck would be to get GPU-Z and check the video engine load, GPU load and memory controller load - as well as GPU memory used.

I compare CoreAVC 3.0 to LAV CUVID 0.12, the result is this.

LAV CUVID 0.12
VPU Load = 33%
GPU Load = 12%
Memory Load = 721MB/1024MB
CPU Load = Average 14%

CoreAVC 3.0
VPU Load = 32%
GPU Load = 11%
Memory Load = 738MB/1024MB
CPU Load = Average 20%

*LAV Video 0.35
VPU Load = 0%
GPU Load = 38%
Memory Load = 332MB/1024MB
CPU Load = 30%

I used GPU Observer Gadget (I think it's the same as GPU-Z) to measure the loads. Filters used : LAV Filters 0.35, Reclock, madVR 0.74, MPC-HC. I don't know who is the real winner here but my observation is, faster seeking with LAV CUVID.

Is LAV Video a software decoder like ffdshow? Additionally, I got no glitches in madvr using LAV Video wherein CoreAVC and LAV CUVID I get 5-8 glitches, I'm using the default settings of madvr.

Hi Nev,

is there any update in the pipe ? Or a little roadmap for this great Decoder ?

Yes it is a pure software decoder. The increased GPU load is probably because the GPU actually goes into a lower power state. CUDA forces it into the high-power mode for some reason..

I'm focusing on other projects at this time. I'm not aware of any issues that need immediate attention, everything is working pretty good.

Ohh lastly, if you're going to release new version of LAV CUVID, kindly skip 0.13 cause that's not my lucky number

I want to say, very GOOD job you have done on this codec, is allot beter than coreavc that dont even work anymore after 2.6 under dvbviewer.

Also channel change is allot faster than any codec i have seen, so keep up the good work.

Very interesting.

Showing only 280mb used of 896mb, 16% GPU load, 6% Memory Controller Load, 6% Video Engine load, less than 5% CPU usage but I am still losing approx 1 frame every .5-1 second...

Testing again it seems to be more related to madVR than LAV CUVID. I think with EVR CP it drops almost no frames.

However if I have any significant CPU utilisation (say video encoding), it will drop more.

Do you have any idea whether being in dual head mode might have an impact?
