Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) - DXVA!

About:

Help wanted!

We are looking for C++ programmers that want to join MPC-HC & FFdshow projects.

This project is based on the original Media Player Classic and was create after Gabest, the original author, stop working on it. Several new features have been integrated in this media player, such as:

* An option to remove Tearing using Direct3D
* Additional video decoders H.264, VC-1, MPEG2 with DXVA support
* Support for EVR(C) Renderer
* Better support for Windows Vista, 7, including 64 bits releases
* Multi-language support(Czech, French, German, Hungarian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish)
* A lot of bugs and vulnerability fixes
* New features

DXVA Support:

Modern video graphics card have the possibility to decode partially or completely a video using DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) and reduces CPU usage. MPC - HC has an embedded video decoder using this technology to decode H.264, MPEG2 & VC-1 video. Unfortunately this decoder supports for the moment only bitstream mode, which means that only most recent graphic cards are supported.

* ATI Radeon™ HD, ATI HD3850/3870/4850/4870/5800/5900, AMD Hybrid CrossFireX™ 780G series for H.264, MPEG2 & VC-1
* nVidia GeForce 8500, 8600, 9600, 200 & 400 Series

DXVA is quite susceptible, so if you want to use it you have to respect those rules:

* Windows XP, Vista and 7
* For Windows XP users, select Overlay Mixer, WMR7(9) or VMR7(9) Renderless
* For Vista users, select EVR or EVR Custom
* For DXVA and subtitles support select VMR7(9) Renderless or EVR Custom.
* Video decoder should be connected directly to the renderer. This means that no intermediate filters such as DirectVobSub or ffdshow can be inserted between decoder and video renderer.
* DXVA compliant x264 encoded files.
* INTEL G4500HD Support DXVA ONLY For Windows Vista and 7!

x264 Known Hardware acceleration problems and solutions:

"DXVA compatibility" issues:

link

Known issues & bugs:

* Internal avisplitter crashes randomly for me.
* There are problems with DVD navigation, some menu's are affected more than others.
* MPC graph creation bug: MPC seems to always prefer Haali splitter, even if external Gabest splitter has higher merit. Neither filter is explicitly set as preferred source filter in the registry (because then it would be allows to ignore merit).

Before submitting a new bug report, check if the bug is already reported, if so, please confirm it so we have more to work with.

When reporting or confirming bugs please provide the following data:

* Windows and service pack versions
* MPC-HC, FFdshow build
* Videocard and driver version
* Renderer used and options selected in the output settings
* A small sample so we can test it on our systems and of course as clear as possible instructions on how to reproduce it.

Bugs can be reported here:

@ drevil_xxl:
Thanks a bunch! Unpacked and using.

I haven't used MPC + ffdshow (libmpeg2) for MPEG-2 decoding for a few weeks. I used to get macroblocks artefacts while seeking, and seeking used to be bad in general. Now it's working almost perfectly - no artefacts, and seeking needs just a short while to jump forwards /backwards. I'm just wondering if it's ffdshow decoding that has improved, or is it your patching that has done the job (?).

I will check with MPC's internal MPEG-2 splitting/decoding right now.
Update: Perfect!

cheers,
HDBR77

Can you build it with VP6 support? Celtic_Druid should be able to help you with missing source files.
Also can you update libfaad and the other libraries used by MPC?

thanks for taking the time and having a look at mpc's current state... but what is that 'mplayerc.exe.intermediate.manifest' for?

is it necessary as I haven't seen it before concerning any other mpc build?...

The VP6 decoder in MPC also supports VP60 and VP61. It might also be useful for people who don't use ffdshow.

Other libs that are outdated:
libpng: 1.2.10 -> 1.2.16
zlib: 1.1.4 -> 1.2.3
libmad: 0.15.0b -> 0.15.1b

I'll update if necessary.I don't need new bugs.
That vp6 decoder was removed because of legal issues.

Apparently Gabest first thought he might be able to support VP60 and 61 too, but he didn't, and in rev 596, he removed MEDIASUBTYPE_VP60 and MEDIASUBTYPE_VP61, which were already commented out anyway. However, MPC can play FLV5 (not only FLV4). On2 was unhappy with that source code, but they don't mind about binary. That source code was perhaps decompiled from JAVA files, technically legally, but it is understandable for one to avoid unnecessary risk.

Is drevil_xxl's mpc build based on "mplayerc.rev611-3" by celtic druid or is it based on gabest rev 611?
just asking if the queue output samples, dts and cursor key fixes are also available in drevil_xxl's build.
just want to have the latest build (and drevil_xxl's looks like it).

So also the "dts and cursor key fixes" ?

@drevil_xxl, have you already made a build with updated libs? Can you also make an ANSI build? Thanks.

The key fix is included as part of "MPC_ffdshow20061222.patch". As for DTS, I don't know...

No.It is really necessary?
I don't wanna add new bugs.
Maybe libfaad...

Neither do I, unfortunately...
But the changes in libmad-0.15.1b look kinda promising:
Quote:
- New Layer III IMDCT routine based on Szu-Wei Lee's fast algorithm.
- Improved robustness of Layer II bitrate/mode combinations.
- Other improved portability and robustness.
The vulnerability and crash fixes in the latest libpng shouldn't hurt either.

Well I think you should add the patches as they seem to fix bugs.

It's not an official MPC build so if there are some new bugs it's not a really big deal, it happens sometimes too with the ffdshow tryouts builds.

The thing is, if you start like this it's like you start a "MPC tryouts" project

Thanks for the new MPC build.
