CoreCodec/H.264 Codec "CoreAVC"

[BetaBoy]

We have now added DXVA multi-monitor support.... now to QA it for CoreAVC 3.0.1 (and 2.6.2)

[cyberbeing]

The issue with madvr is that it should release the CoreAVC instance. We can add memory releases but the point is we shouldn't as it has the side effect of causing more bad then good, like:
- Having multiple monitors hang
- Causing multiple tray icons
- Possible setting conflicts

Was madshi doing a fix for this?

That's why I asked. If CoreAVC implementing a workaround creates other issues, we'll just need to wait for madshi to fix it on his end. ;)

nevcairiel said madshi commited to fixing it in the next version of madVR, but his release schedule is semi-random so that could be today... or it may end up being a month or more away... At the very least CoreCodec should add an entry to their Support KB about this issue, directing people to upgrade or downgrade their version of madVR if they experience a leak.

[BetaBoy]

By request we have done a new Haali Media Splitter installer with the MP4 fix... We sent it to Haali to add to his site.

Till Haali adds it, we have made it available for download:

I can confirm this. And to add to this, it only happens for YV12 colorspace and even then only some videos. NV12 and other colorspaces arn't affected.

Bug I just noticed. in the sample linked in this post http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1524571&postcount=6692

I get green pixel corruption on some of the letters on the title when used with NV12

and with YUY2,UYVY and RGB output colorspaces it gets really jaggy

[squid_80]

Might help if you said which renderer was being used.

[Barlow]

That sample looks fine here with EVR-CP (nv12) and MadVR.

[dead_screem]

Might help if you said which renderer was being used.

After checking this, the NV12 green pixels happen with VMR-7 and VMR-9. EVR is fine.
The jaggys on YUY2,UYVY and RGB happen on VMR-7, VMR-9 and EVR
Windows XP btw.

[cyberbeing]

I get green pixel corruption on some of the letters on the title when used with NV12 and with YUY2,UYVY and RGB output colorspaces it gets really jaggy
I can reproduce both problems with 3.0.1.

YUY2/UYVY/RGB have very blocky chroma.

The green blocks seems to be a bug in NV12 levels conversion. If you using Input = Output levels there are no green blocks. TV -> PC = green blocks.

Happens with all renderers tested (Overlay-Mixer/VMR7/VMR9/EVR/EVR-CP/madVR) on WinXP SP3 x86.




There are also some very significant performance problems with various 10bit to XXX colorspace conversions. No assembly yet?

Below are some quick perf tests I did with the CoreAVC_3.0_Corruption.mkv sample I posted earlier:

YV12/NV12/I420 = ~65.8753fps

P010/P016 = ~62.1560fps

RGB32 = 35.3177fps

Problem colorspaces:
RGB24 = 12.1498fps
RGB16 = 13.2597fps
RGB15 = 13.3949fps
UYVY = 16.1888fps
YUY2 = 16.2040fps

[hajj_3]

have you guys tested out v2.6.2.0 yet? That and v3.0.1.0 are on their website now.

[cyberbeing]

Later I may do some performance testing with 3.0.1, if it doesn't look like CoreAVC is going to push out another bugfix release today. I'm curious if that high bitrate problem got fix yet.

[dead_screem]

The green blocks seems to be a bug in NV12 levels conversion. If you using Input = Output levels there are no green blocks. TV -> PC = green blocks.

Happens with all renderers tested (Overlay-Mixer/VMR7/VMR9/EVR/EVR-CP/madVR) on WinXP SP3 x86.
Looks like the reason it was working with EVR for me was because I had output levels to Auto. And when it's set to auto CoreAVC detects PC out levels for VMR-7/9 but TV for EVR and Overlay. Forcing PC out and I now experience the bug for EVR and Overlay.

I wonder why Auto level output detects different setting depending on what renderer is used?

And a feature request if I may, can we get "No change/passthrough" output level option? Basically if Input is TV then output TV and if PC input then output PC.

Later I may do some performance testing with 3.0.1, if it doesn't look like CoreAVC is going to push out another bugfix release today. I'm curious if that high bitrate problem got fix yet.
Hold off a few more hours till we another release out... then have fun with numbers. :-)

[BetaBoy]

Specifically... we are doing a 3.0.2 release in a few more hours as we already have a new bug to squash. RE: the VMR7 and VMR9 green lines/dot issue.
After checking this, the NV12 green pixels happen with VMR-7 and VMR-9. EVR is fine.
The jaggys on YUY2,UYVY and RGB happen on VMR-7, VMR-9 and EVR
Windows XP btw.
Bug confirmed.

We have also tracked down the Haali's renderer as the cause of most of the high CPU usage complaints for high-bitdepth as it prefers YUY2/NV12

We are talking to Haali on how to handle it.

[cyberbeing]

BetaBoy, is there any timeline for adding optimized assembly for 420p10 to YUY2?
Out of all the problem colorspaces, YUY2 and possibly RGB24 should be prioritized since some filters actually expect them at times.

We are talking to Haali on how to handle it.
That would be amazing if Haali actually started developing Haali Renderer again, since he pretty much abandoned it cold-turkey years ago.

[BetaBoy]

We also confirmed the bug for the jagginess reports (native chroma upsampling)... and working on a fix now.

[BetaBoy]

cyberbeing... Next up is more high10 assembly work we have been working on in an upcoming release.

[dead_screem]

another bug, YUY2,UYVY TV->PC isn't working at all with 10bit, levels are still TV. Also RGB is also TV levels with 10 bit. Is this related to the jaggy bug for these colorspaces?

[blaster00]

What's this?
http://thumbnails42.imagebam.com/14878/78ed67148773422.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/78ed67148773422)

MPC-HC r3715 x64, coreavc 3.0.1.0
All x264 video look like this.
Haven't restart after update coreavc yet.
DXVA works fine, though.

Solved

[Keiyakusha]

That would be amazing if Haali actually started developing Haali Renderer again, since he pretty much abandoned it cold-turkey years ago.

Or at least make it opensource. Otherwise whats the point in it if noone is using this renderer anymore (accept maybe someone who don't know that there is better choices)...

Please forgive me if I make any errors; my English is a little weak.

EVR CP BUG...?
Play 1080p video, CUDA can't use when EVR buffers 10~15 more.
And DXVA can't use in EVR but VMR9 is ok.

[molitar]

Ok this is the worse release yet. I am not even able to play the video file it locks up mpc home completely. MPC stops responding. Even with DXVA acceleration it still failed to run. Runs perfectly fine with ffdshow that came with CCCP pack and even runs with DXVA support.

[squid_80]

sawg: by setting EVR to use 20 buffers, you're using up all the VRAM and leaving none for CUDA. And if you're able to get VMR9 to use DXVA, you're using windows XP and won't get DXVA with EVR.
molitar: that's a file description, not a bug report. Please refer to this helpful post. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1524801#post1524801)

CoreAVC 3.0.1, seeking bug came back. Using WMP12 or MPC-HC.

[squid_80]

I think Doom9 himself would agree (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96137) that's not a proper bug report either. Come on guys, do you want these things fixed or are you just trying to point fingers?

Something about colourspace
Start from the haali render post,with the clip rec709 (http://www.mediafire.com/?sfd13vqrgn7vh6i)
Since few people in that post and has something to do with coreavc, I'd like to continue here.
First, I assume the "c yv12 auto evr" is the right one. Which means coreavc(yv12 output)(auto input)==>EVR(cp) render
http://thumbnails44.imagebam.com/14881/3bb8e8148804350.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/3bb8e8148804350)
The internal converter of coreavc seems wrong with default setting.

c rgb32 601 evr == c rgb32 auto evr == c yuy2 auto hr 601, wrong, I guess.
c rgb32 709 evr == c rgb32 709 hr auto == c yuy2 auto hr 709 == c yuy2 auto hr auto == c yv12 auto evr, right, I guess.
So if someone use the default setting with coreavc and evr and another one simply change to rgb32 output in coreavc are not getting the same colour, at least with this 720p clip.

[eddman]

10. Output - unknown


You can determine it this way, I think; while playing the video, right-click on the picture and go to "Filters -> Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter)".
Select "Pin Info" tab. It's written there.

EDIT: Now I'm officially stupid. You can't know what the output is because MPC locks-up, duh!

Looks like bug in benchmark OR graphs produced different number of frames.

i guess its better not to benchmark with the H.264 stream in *.ts and Mpegsplitter.ax

fits much better then the Mpegsplitter.ax *.ts result (of CoreAVC, most probably a interop problem with the splitter, so i guess most results i got with Graphstudio benchmarking H.264 *.ts might be wrong also, if it affects Software Rendering the same) :(

But wait MpegSplitter has this fast stream switch option hmm im not sure if i turned that off and if that might impact CoreAVCs timing behavior :( <- Nope that has no impact seems to be just the Splitter itself

[ebuss07]

similar problems here..... is it just me--new CoreAVCs seem like chewin'gum?! MeGUI/AVS/CoreAVC used to work properly... now either avScript error:directshowsource: renderfile, filter graphmanager won'talk to me OR sometimes work--but load script video preview not only colour is red and footage is upside down {like this one i downloaded:http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=ZW6IYZQ[/EMAIL] (http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=ZW6IYZQ)}

Same issue with Microsoft and Lav Splitter in Software Rendering


Puhh so at least i can be sure all my Software Rendering measuring's where right with CoreAVC since now, though the bad results coming out from CoreAVCs DXVA2 with 2 of the most used *.ts splitter don't look good also in terms of what problems this might could produce with Splitter and Audio Decoder for different streams, though it might have todo with the DVBviewer needed changes for DVB playback, but in this case Cyberlink provides expected results and works fine since years with DVB :)

similar problems here..... is it just me--new CoreAVCs seem like chewin'gum?! MeGUI/AVS/CoreAVC used to work properly... now either avScript error:directshowsource: renderfile, filter graphmanager won'talk to me OR sometimes work--but load script video preview not only colour is red and footage is upside down {like this one i downloaded:http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=ZW6IYZQ[/EMAIL] (http://d01.megashares.com/?d01=ZW6IYZQ)}

rofl, busted!

Any idea when 3.0.2 will be out for beta testing!?

I haven't had any luck w/3.0,3.01 as both caused major slowdowns with my HTPC where the audio/video would get out of synch...ended up falling back to old reliable 2.5.5...

I'm sure you know it already, but pirated copies of CoreAVC 3.0 can be used just fine without any of those symptoms.

@ BetaBoy

I don't want to offend you or your company, but I must say something. It's obvious that, in recent time, CoreCodec developers can't made stable version of CoreAVC ! Even when 2.50 was released, a year or more ago, it wasn't stable. What's going on with you, people ?

Look FFDSHOW devs, they have excellent programers and FFDSHOW never have any problems in video or audio decoding.

ffdshow DOES have problems (so does the underlaying ffmpeg), but bugs get squatted faster. I think that is because there are more programmers (i.e. volunteers, cause open source work is like voluntary work) to work on the project. ffdshow is also constantly improved upon, creating new problems. Thats why it's in, some might say, a permenent beta-status.

Are you saying those based on personal experience or just by reading this thread? 2.5.5 is a pretty stable release.

I agree, they abandoned 2.0 for more than a year without releasing a single bux-fix revision, but after 2.5 they magically became super fast for some reason. Just look how fast they are fixing 2.6 and 3.0.

Having problems when using CoreAVC with DXVA decoding enabled. (It works fine in software only mode)
It has blocks at the bottom, stalls and if you wait long enough creates tearing of the whole image. This error doesn't happen when using MPC-HC built in DXVA decoder or FFDShow DXVA decoder.

CPU: AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile RM-70 2Ghz
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 (Catalyst 11.8)
RAM: 4Gb

MPC-HC 1.5.3.3704
Haali Media Splitter 1.11.288.0
EVR CS
CoreAVC 3.0.1 or 2.6.2

Simmilar behavior on my laptop which has Intel GMA 4500 MHD. Win 7 x64, lastest drivers, CoreAVC 3.0.1, DXVA mode

in software mode everything is great.
