Oh, thank you both. What a lazy man I am.

Groan. Why should I keep on re-creating the dgi from one version to another?

I hate you =P

I generally don't upgrade if I have created a dgi. I encode the video, and upgrade afterwards. Or I recreate the dgi instead and then encode.

With the 2014 version the gpu isn't used. Cuvid server is off, but the app does not ask for it. And the CPU load is over 32%. I'm using win 7 x64, gtx 285 and the 257.21 drivers from nvidia. With 2012 and the same drivers it worked.

The only possible decoding is on the GPU. if you see video it is decoded on the GPU.

If you use DGMultiSource() in your script, the CUVID server is not needed.

Load will depend on what else is in your script.

Post your script if you still think there is a problem.

I hate you too.

I just added a m2ts file to create a dgi.

The GPU is not used during Save Project in DGIndexNV. It is used only for decoding the video during play/preview in DGIndexNV, or when serving video via your script.

Thanks for the clarification.

@all

Do not download and install latest quadro drivers from Nvidia (258.49-quadro-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql). Dunno if it is DGNV or NVidia fault but major graphic memory corruption happens when using DGMultiDecode_x64 and any other CUDA enabled exe, such as CoreAVC, NVIndex or anything similar.

258.19 works fine.

I've just slipstreamed build 2014. It has no additional functionality of any interest to users. But if you download it again after now, you'll have to regenerate your license to get proper operation.

This should be the end of the futzing around with licensing.

[lych_necross]

Do we need to regenerate our license again if we already did it when 2013 was released?

[Guest]

Only if you re-download 2014 after my last post time.

* I got too clever by half with my licensing check in an attempt to punish people using patched executables. It wasn't working right, however, causing it to emit some bad frames even for good licenses in some (not all) cases. I won't try anything like that again. Now, if you don't see your video you have to remake your license. I'm done with this nonsense. It's not a battle I can win. Do not use 2014! 2013 is OK.

* Here's a cookie to make up for the first item above. Added audio language detection for opened MPLS files. After opening the MPLS file, Audio/Audio Demux will tell you the languages of the (nonhidden) streams.

I installed 2015 and when I tried to open a .vc1 file I got a "GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder (1)" error dialog. Upon reverting to 2013 everything works again. Does this mean I have to "remake my license"? If yes, what exactly should I do. I did indeed try 2014 once before DLing and trying 2015 (had gotten same dialog iirc).

Yes, remake your license using the online license generator.

"if you don't see your video you have to remake your license"

Good to know that layer 2 of my defenses is working.

Yeah, I read (and re-read) and still didn't get it. And getting an error dialog AFAICT is different from "not seeing your video".

Guess I'd have been a little more literal like "sorry but 2014 breaks your license; if 2015 doesn't work then you'll need to re-do your license.txt using the online generator."

But then I've been around long enough to know that nobody interprets an instruction in exactly the same way...

[Guest]

OK, I edited my message but you replied to the previous one.

Let me know if things are not OK after regenerating your license. Should be fine though. Sorry for the inconvenience.

When things settle down, I will reset everybody's license count.

To others (who might be as slow as I am today): I went to neuron2.net/licensing and entered my User ID and Machine ID again and got a new key to paste-in to license.txt in place of the old one. 2015 now works. And not that I care a whole lot, but as Mr. Graft indicates above he apparently is gonna make-up for the decrement in our license counts.

Thanks neuron2 for the super-human tools. And for showing too once-in-a-while that you can be normal-human also!

Thanks for your understanding.

I taught myself the hard way that valid users should not be hassled in futile attempts to defeat crackers. No need for any "I told you so" posts, please.

Have ya looked into "phone home" methods (that is, check userID exists in database)?!? Your users already sign up via web interface, so presumably a few quick "phone home" checks at arbitary points in workflow might make things incrementally harder to crack ...

As for patched EXE's, just setup a random timer in an alternative thread to CRC check the EXE and/or phone home (random timer in separate thread makes it extremely difficult to debug due to lack of break points!) ..
