neuron2, supposedly the new VP5 engine in the GT240 and the upcoming Fermi series supports MPEG-4 ASP. Will DG NV tools support MPEG-4 ASP indexing as well, for those cards?

I don't believe Nvidia has gotten around to adding driver support for the 210/220/240's hardware acceleration of MPEG-4 ASP yet.

At least it's not there as of the 195.81 betas.

Source? IIRC it's the VP4, not VP5.

Source is right here at Anandtech, so it should be reliable.

And yes, it's VP4, which means that the VP5 on the Fermi cards should support it too right?

Yeah, it should. But I've no idea, what functions they want to add additionally. It already supports quite everything any user can need, or is there something I forgot?

Maybe. What is the compelling application?

I've uploaded new StaxRip test build supporting DGSource. I didn't experience a single crash/hangup so I have high hopes DGDecNV is now fully usable in StaxRip. Thanks to Neuron2, Multitask and Zathor for helping.

Nice work, stax76! We greatly appreciate your efforts to support the DGNV tools.

If only my new PNY GT240 card was working correctly...

After installing the card, updated the drivers for the mobo and installed a piece of software, after a period of time the system would just bog down.

A reboot fixed it, for a hort while. I got a copy of the Process Explorer program so that I could see what the hell was going on. I eliminated the new program by making sure the DLLs that it called could never execute and that I just didn't run it. Well, that wasn't it.

So, I removed the Nvidia drivers, mobo and graphics. Still didn't go away. What was happening is that after about 5-10 minutes the hardware interrupts would go into runaway mode. While the monitor program would show me that the CPU was getting creamed and that it was because of hardware interrupts, the program cannot display what the hardware interrupt is.

Since the only new hardware in the system was the graphics card, I put the PNY 7600 back into the system (even though it doesn't have a GPU fan, as it was frozen). Problem solved.

Once the GT240 got into the situation where any program called it (I suspect for hardware accelleration, as normal displaying didn't), it went into hardware interrupt runaway mode. Kill the program and the interrupts stopped. Come to think of it, it wasn't because of hardware accelleration, because if I copied a file from one hard drive to another, the interrupts would also happen.

So, for the moment, a warning about the PNY GT240, until I get this resolved with them.

@MrVideo

so it might be borked after all i say return it and get one from the GTX series also remember to choose which drivers you install wisely cause they will have a role on how good your card performs

Does anyone have any experience installing a nvidia card as a second next to a ATI card? My preferred graphics card is ATI, but I would like to use DGIndexNV.

I'll be beating PNY over the head for a replacement, or a different card.

Um, you have no choice as to what drivers are installed. They come with the card. I also get the latest Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website.

In this particular case, even with no Nvidia drivers for the card intalled, just running native Windblows VGA support, the card croaks.

Yes, if you have Vista or Win7 it is easy. If XP, then there is a gotcha but it can be worked around.

Vista? Since when? IIRC there isn't possible to install more than one graphics driver.

Something different: This card would be only used for video decoding with DGDecode (PhysX would be nice too But just with hacks). Would there be any speed difference between, let's say, G210 or GT240?

You can find out just as easily as I can.

May be you missunderstood my question or I can't follow you. I meant any decoding speed difference. I don't know exactly, if gpu frequency or bandwidth has any relevant influence in decoding speed.

MPEG-4 ASP is hardware supported since VP4

GT240 has VP5, not VP4.

Short quote:

NVIDIA GPUs that can decode 3D Blu-ray content include the GeForce GT 240 ($99 U.S. MSRP), as well as upcoming next-generation GF100 GPUs based on the NVIDIA “Fermi” architecture.
And the GT240 can handle AVC-MVP (which is 3D Blu-ray content), thus it's VP5

It took longer. but I am now getting runaway hardware interrupts with the old card, but at about half the CPU eating power as the new graphics card.

A reboot makes the problem go away, but eventually it will be back.

Sorry, I only brought it up as there are those here who may be interested in it for use with this specific tool.
