Seems to be, but no margaritas here...

I slipstreamed the fix for the initial INI file. Thanks for pointing it out.

Might MKV indexing possibly be optimized for better speed? It seems it's a lot slower then TS indexing.

I use Haali's low level library as is because it is released for free use without licensing. I can look at the other available libraries if they are LGPL so that I can invoke them as DLLs. Alternatively I can look at optimizing Haali's code. Can't promise an ETA but I will put it on the to-do list.

^Nvidia's drivers don't support lossless.

Can DGdecodeNV take advantage of multiple nvidia video cards in the same system without SLI? (IE different models).

Not yet, but it will come in a new release pretty soon. Tell me what you need; I love to make my users happy.

Can extract subtitle using DGIndexNV?

Hi all!
Sorry for off topic. I am using DGIndexNV for getting index files dga and Dolby digital sound from set of mts files. I do not have problem with video and audio, but how I can get subtitles from set of mts files?
Please advice.

With kind regards yup.

DGIndexNV can't extract subtitles, there are two common ways:

1. MakeMKV > mkvextract, StaxRip and RipBot264 fully automate mkvextract. DGDecNV, ffms2, DSS/DSS2 all can open MKV containing AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2. Works equally and great for both DVD and Blu-ray.

2. eac3to demuxing, this is a command line tool, most GUIs make it easy to use, StaxRip, RipBot264, MeGUI, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor and many others.

If you post a link to a sample file I will look into implementing subtitle demuxing for it. It's on my to-do list so now is as good a time as any.

Regarding SLI, it seems to me that it's been stated already that doubling-up videocards (i.e. I have a 9600GT and SLI mobo--I could add another 9600GT in SLI mode) was no help to the decoding process. But then there have been driver changes/improvements where CUDA and SLI were mentioned in the same sentence. Please confirm: is "no help from SLI" still the case?

Sorry, I don't know squat about SLI.

Supporting mutiple cards can allow more filter instantiations. That is the only motivation for it that I am aware of.

Even choose which card (better, driver, to avoid Terminal Server or Remote Desktop problems) to use can be useful..

Ha, ha! Well, I appreciate your candor!

Neither do I know anything about SLI, but I do have a sexy little jumper-bracket for linking two cards together...somewhere, provided I haven't lost it. That's all I know.

In one of the DGNV threads sometime ago someone said SLI didn't help; maybe that someone will trip across these posts and re-confirm...

Given that there is nothing in the CUVID API to allow/specify a context to span multiple devices, I think the chances of SLI accelerating video decoding must be infinitesimal, if not zero.

Being able to choose which GPU to do the decoding on would be a great addition. I've just upgraded from a 9500gt to a gtx460 and although DGNV still runs perfectly, i've found that while decoding videos it stops the Video Card from going into low power mode. With the new video card in, while decoding, my computer users another 200watts of electricity for no speed benefit as my encoding is the same speed using either the 9500 or the gtx460. In Australia, that 200watts of electricity it is using will end up being quite expensive when my electricity bill arrives as i'm encoding 24 hours a day.

What i would like to do is put my 9500gt back in, and set DGNV to decode on that which hopefully would allow my gtx460 to go into low power mode dropping my electricity usage considerably.

Would this work with what you are planning for supporting of multiple video cards?

I don't mind donating again if you can make this work this way.

It will certainly allow you to select the card you want to run on.

@olex99:

Try underclocking / undervolting if you can?

That's great news. I'd like to used this to work around the RDP issue.

I was also thinking if I split my encodes in half & used multiple video cards that I could improve processing time by running the encodes of both halves at the same time.

I have a xeon quad core with turbo/hyperthreading. I can't seem to utilize more than 50% CPU even with MT.
