Wow, I assumed everyone preferred to only have forced subs load automatically.... guess I was wrong.

Isn't that the point of the default flag?

if a subs stream is set to default it will display automatically.

if no subs stream is set to default none will display automatically.

That's what I do with my Studio Ghibli rips.

default audio is English, 2nd audio is Japanese, single English subs with default flag off.

That way, when the children watch it they get the English audio and no subs, but when I watch it I switch audio to Japanese and switch the subs on.

At least that's my experience using VLC.

yep normaly Mainconcept does excellent work but the VC-1 Decoder is far from that and it's funny seeing Cyberlink and Arcsoft beating it but i guess Mainconcept doesn't invest much resources into it's Developing ;)
What's the name of the Cyberlink VC-1 decoder (filter name on the disk).
I have PDVD9 installed (came with my system), but can't find the VC-1 decoding filter.

Are you using a DXVA supported renderer? (EVR or EVR-CP)?
Also, if I remember correctly you cannot have a subtitle filter (directVobSub or such) running between the DXVA decoder and the renderer.

Yes, madVR. No subtitle filter, I just switch subtitloes on/off with splitter.

madVR doesn't support DXVA for video decoding. Only DXVA deinterlace.

I thought it was the coreavc the only one involved on decoding and hw acceleration used for it. Then the render filter just renders the result, inherent to how the decoder does his specific task.

BTW, is it much of use in quality terms the choice for a specific render for 1:1 video displaying? I mean, 1080p content on 1080p display.

ajp_anton

20th February 2012, 16:10

With DXVA, everything happens on the GPU. The renderer must support the transfer of decoded video within the GPU, instead of the "normal" way to send the decoded video *to* the GPU for rendering.

1:1 is only 1:1 for the luma pixels. For 99.9% of all video you watch, the chroma resolution is half (or 1/4th by area), so it needs to be upscaled.

On untouched Bluray video, chroma is half resolution too?

madVR may not support DXVA... but it does CUDA? with nvidia gpu, coreavc does enable CUDA hardware acceleration with madVR.

DeadlyEmbrace

20th February 2012, 19:01

Yes, MadVR does work with CUDA. As far as I understand it CUDA copies the processed frames back to system RAM where the renderer can get at them, kinda like the LAV DXVA Copy Back option.

I know you commented already, but you didn't really affirm the previously mentioned "Feburary" release as per twitter... So is 3.1 still on track for a Feburary release? or has the moving target moved over to March?

And what is the status on CoreAAC? I know you got CoreAVC 4:4:4 and 4:2:2 on your plate as well as CoreMVC, But there is a pretty bad channel order bug I mentioned to you before (and you passed it on to the team I guess), that makes CoreAAC completely unusable for anything but 2 channel stereo, even mono is screwed up.
We can't even use an external 5.1>2.0 downmix because CoreAAC is not using the correct internal channel order and thus the channels are output wrong. And Mono is not output correctly as 1 channel, it's output as 2 channel Stereo but with audio in only 1 channel.

Where does libavcodec fit on that list?

libavcodecs VC-1 decoder is not really up to par. It lacks proper interlaced support and is generally slow.

If those two things would be fixed, it would probably be OK, so that means finishing interlaced decoding, and adding multi-threading for the speed issues.

I have my tv set up for FullRGB, madVR to PC levels (0-255) and AMD CCC Pixel format to FullRGB 4:4:4.

So, to have it all perfectly matched up, how coreAVC should be set up on "Input levels" and "Output levels"? for displaying to be the most accurate to the source?

I assume Input to "Auto detect", and Output to (0-255) as is the way madVR and tv are expecting to take it... but not sure if I should set Input to (16-235) since movie content luminance use to be that way.

Just to let you know, latest Nvidia Drivers (295.73) is giving BSOD whenever I try to play a video with CoreAVC 3.0.1 and CUDA enabled.

Disabling CUDA acceleration fixes the problem.

So, Nvidia must have changed something in CUDA that CoreAVC does not like.

BSOD reason is driver timeout (nvlddmkm.sys) so driver is waiting CoreAVC to talk to CUDA than some kind of loop or lock happens. This is my guess.

Windows 7 Professional 64-bits SP1, MPC-HC 32-bits (1.6.1.4112), Nvidia 310M.

I hope you can fix it for the 3.1 release.

Haali Splitter have a bug with mkvs where a dts-hd MA audio file is inside. the video stutters sometimes during playing.

Can you fix this problem?

robpdotcom

12th March 2012, 20:35

Those are mkv's made with old versions of mkvMergeGUI (mmg). You can use mmg's header editor to fix them - open mmg, click file> Header Editor, drag the file into the header editor, find the Default Duration for the audio, and set it to 10666666.

Or, get an up-to-date version of mmg, and remux it. Remuxing is a little simpler, but will take much longer. Either way, you should get the most recent version of mmg.

Of course, Haali is the only splitter that seems to be bothered by having the default duration missing, so it would be nice if that were fixed.

@BetaBoy,

a while ago I asked you to look into supporting the MS DXVA_ExtendedFormat part of VIDEOINFOHEADER2, so downstream filters can get information like color decoding matrix etc from CoreAVC.

Now we're discussing ways to improve VSFilter. As you may know, VSFilter renders subtitles in YCbCr, even though subtitles are originally defined in RGB. As a result VSFilter has to do an RGB -> YCbCr conversion. For that VSFilter in the past always used the BT.601 matrix, even for HD videos. Obviously that's wrong, and we're discussing how to fix it now. This brings me back to DXVA_ExtendedFormat, which would be a great help with fixing VSFilter. Is there any chance you could fill DXVA_ExtendedFormat in a not too distant CoreAVC release? It shouldn't be too hard. Here's more information on how to fill it:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1519740#post1519740

Thanks.

Edit: nevcairiel just told me that some filters (especially the Haali Renderer!!) have problems when the DXVA_ExtendedFormat is set. That's a shame really. Hit Haali for me, please... :) Not sure what to do now. Maybe DXVA_ExtendedFormat should only be set for filters that are known to support it? :(

BetaBoy

30th April 2012, 18:12

MS DXVA_ExtendedFormat is on the todo for sure... we just have higher priorities atm. Getting 3.1 out now which now features 4:4:4 profile support sets us up for 4:2:2 profile (we are working on that now) and adding MS DXVA_ExtendedFormat support in 3.2 (but will likely call this 3.5).

We have also spent some time working on a new Haali Splitter which addresses the major issues in the 'Unofficial thread' here @ Doom9 and that will be included with CoreAVC 3.1.

CoreMVC 3D has been available for OEM/Developer licensing for over a year now. As far as a consumer decoder however we felt it was more important to get the last remaining features in CoreAVC before releasing it since its 99% based on it.

So we'll continue our non consumer CoreMVC 3D licensing for now and revisit the consumer directshow filter after 4:2:2 is added in v3.5 (Noting my previous post that we are jumping to v3.5 after v3.1 when we add 4:2:2.).

Thanks for te answer but I don't the reasons to delay the consumer decoder when you have it working for OEM/DEV.
You could offer the first ... and pretty much the only ... directshow MVC decoder and having both Haali's splitter and renderer at hand probably offer a full DS solution for 3D playback.

I do understand that it's very improbable to happen. I was just pointing out that they have all that's needed to start the work.
Is it really that hard to enable 3D in a renderer? Isn't it just enabling the correct resolution and refresh rate from the video card and presenting 1920x2160 frames at the right time? (at least that's my idea of what 3D Frame Packing is)

Yes, I know it's a commercial decoder (I own a few licenses). But the idea is to have the ability to use it in your favorite player. And it's not only the GUI - it's the automation (remote control and such) that bothers me most.

For proper 3D support, you need special code for every GPU that you want to target.

Consumer has been using Stereoscopic Player already.

As stated CoreMVC is a separate product, but at its core it uses CoreAVC. Technically we already addd support for Haali's splitter for MVC streams with the 3.0 release but we are adding support for the MS directshow MVC spec before we release CoreMVC.
It has been out since last February, but only for OEM licensing in both library and directshow forms. Based on feedback we opted to push out a consumer directshow decoder till after we added 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 in CoreAVC. We will revisit a possible release afterwards.

I think I should start a new "non-existent Core MVC" thread.

All... just a heads up. Based upon dev and feedback here and the issues with the CoreAVC 3.1 directshow filter (not the SDK) it becoming apparent we need to change the directshow CoreAVC configuration options. We are leaning towards removing both the input/output format sections since the issue now with 420 8-bit modes/420 HiBit modes/444 8-bit modes/444 HiBit modes (and the soon to be added 422 modes for CoreAVC 3.5), is that it's not necessary to allow certain formats to be disabled since the renderer shouldn't accept formats that it doesn't support and the only reason to change the priorities might be to prefer RGB output over YUV, which is a bad idea because our internal conversion will be lower quality than if the renderer handled it.

With latest version of CoreAVC (2.5.5) on 7 x64 and HD5670, DXVA worked great with MPC-HC, but I couldn't enable it on WinTV live HDTV. The tray icon remains blue and the cpu sits at about 60%.
Furthermore, a guy from the WinTV tech support asked for more informations on CoreAVC API needed to set the GPU acceleration. I suppose that it may help to better understand the problem.
Any hints?
Thanks
It is quite obvious. The streaming demultiplexer/splitter used in WinTV (most likely the one from Microsoft) does not set SPS/PPS when connecting to CoreAVC which CoreAVC requires to enable DXVA. I also experienced that with WatchTVPro which also uses the Microsoft demultiplexer. Both, Hauppauge and the WatchTVPro dev, can't add that feature for a 3rd party component (they could insert a DirectShow filter between the demultiplexer and the decoder that does the job though). You can ask Microsoft, good luck though... ;) . Same problem with DVBViewer and its DVBSource filter. You can try 'LAV Video' instead of CoreAVC. It seems to be much better suited for a streaming environment anyway.

So you see that the problem is known and there are some ways to go about it. I wouldn't wait for CoreCodec.

Core AVC Help note is saying : INPUT FORMATS: avc1 / AVC1 - Accept streams with avc1 / AVC1 FourCCs.
So what about "WVC1". This is part or VC-1 or not?

Thanks.

WVC1 is a codec from Microsoft called VC-1. AVC1 is short for "MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding", also known as H.264, they are completely different codecs.

We are currently evaluating h.264 Part 10 codecs for use with our product. Besides the fact communication with CoreCodec OEM Licensing support was really a dissapointment, I have technical issues with CoreAVC 3.0.1.

I cannot get DXVA to work on our Intel i7 620M plattform. Elecard and Microsoft are both using DVXA in GraphEdit, CoreAVC doesn't.

LigH

8th August 2012, 07:57

x264 is an encoder. It can only encode what it receives from a video source, usually the AviSynth frameserver. If it doesn't respond, it is probably eternally waiting for input. So the reason must be before x264, not inside. So probably your source video is so corrupt that CoreAVC hung up.

Not at all, although we have not indicated it, it has in fact it's been very busy. New customer portal is about to launch and after that its onto CoreAVC v3.5 and i'll start to give everyone a heads up on our CoreAAC Encoder and CoreHEVC decoder work.

On CoreAVC... although I have mentioned it here a few times. We are pretty much all on board here to dual license CoreAVC (Open Source and a Closed Source Commercial license). We are trying to find the right type of OSS license that fits. Stay tuned.

I am unable to get CoreAVC to work with avisynth. I have the latest version (3.0.1).
Loading this simple script into staxrip it takes forever to load the file and sometimes it will not load at all:

DirectShowSource("G:\Encoding\x264\x264.ts", fps=25)

With FFDShow installed it works, but still quite slow and thats why I wanted to change to CoreAVC. If I run a x264 encoding script the directshowsource filter does not work at all:

(x264.avs, line 2)
x264 [error]: could not open input file `x264.avs'
where x264.avs contains the code above. Again, it works with FFDShow installed. The recording software and other installed programs is using CoreAVC and it works fine.

The source is an MPEG TS H.264 file. I am using Windows 7 x64 (32 bits Avisynth) with SP1.

Any help greatly appreciated.

An update for all... we are taking a little more time in devel and going right to CoreAVC 3.1 and adding more features, speed enhancements then planned. On apps that that do not conform to proper SPS handling... we added a work around for 3.1.

This new work might delay adding 4:4:4 profile support (which is mostly done anyway) but based on the feedback we feel the potential delay is worth it.

No, it wasn't, you should have come out with the bug fix build everybody was wanting over a year ago.

I wonder who are still using CoreAVC directshow filter now? The latest release is more than a year old, which is not bug-free, lacks many features and slower compare to other FOSS solutions (LAV Video, for example).

I just wait for them to release the new version of Haali Media Splitter with some bug fixes, but now I guess I have to give up my hope. If only LAV Splitter supports some advanced features of Matroska such as editions, ordered chapters and segment linking then I would ditch HMS for good!

As far as Haali's splitter you would have to ask Haali but we do our best to help him when possible and release updates when he provides them. We have been working on the new customer portal and should have it ready soon. Past purchasers can email support@corecodec.com till the portal is launched to retrieve downloads.

I guess I'm happy for you betaboy but you've basically been leaving a string of broken promises for your online purchasers of your product, which has remained stagnant at a time of great advances from its competitors.

I didn't pay a lot for CoreAVC, but neither do I believe I got good value for my purchase. I would have hoped for more attention & fixes for the "retail" product, and less excuses and meaningless timelines.

Clearly you have a resource issue, if you haven't got the resources to properly support the retail software, you should just wind it up, IMO.

I don't want to be a troll, but in the meantime, why don't you guys give alternative projects a try? For example, LAV Video (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156191) is a very stable directshow video decoder and it's also a FOSS project. Unless you need specific features of CoreAVC which other projects don't have, there is no reason to wait like that.

On Windows 7 every other filter set I have tested does not actually allow for an alternate decoder to be used by default but the splitter they install allows the MS decoder to be used. The MS decoder is not as efficient as CoreAVC and the CoreAVC decoder is actually used after install.

So in many cases you are fooled these other alternative projects are actually working when it is just a splitter filter giving you what you need to get the MS decoder working.

Using Win7DSFilterTweaker (http://codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm) is not that hard. In fact, its interface is very simple and comprehensible. And because you only concern about H.264/AVC, it's even easier: Just change the prefered decoder of H.264 from Microsoft to LAV Video then Apply & Close, for example.

But it's your choice so whatever.

I'd rather use DGDecNV instead of DirectShowSource. Besides, LAV Video supports hardware decoding too.

Feel free to continue. In this case I've actually looked into DGDecNV for freeing up more CPU time for encoding, but have yet to try it. If better performance is likely to be achieved through this route I'm all for it.

Unsurprisingly using the LAV hardware decoder yields the same results as using CoreAVC's CUDA acceleration.

So I've noticed today the new customer portals up tried logging in apparently my accounts disabled not very impressed with corecodec or betaboy seeing I've contacted them a few times in the last month not even a reply now I cant even access what I paid for is it worth me handing it over the trading standards to deal with in the UK?

At November 15th I wrote a mail to support@corecodec.com telling that the customer portal is still offline and nobody can download software, check their license key, buying software, etc.

I did NOT got any reply.

At November 29th I tweeted "@CoreCodec Store, Downloads & Support (customers.corecodec.com) is still offline. What's going on?" and shortly after (1 day i guess) that tweet the website was online again. I tried to login and to copy my license keys and that worked well.

I don't know what the heck is going on at CoreCodec but I think I'll ignore that company and use other software instead.

@BetaBoy I don't know what you guys are in, how busy you are or how many ppl are working for CoreCodec but you cannot simply turn off your customer portal, tell your customers nothing about how to get downloads & license keys and just hope everything is fine.
Why is there no placeholder website (ONE html file, a simple txt file would work too) which asks for excuse and tells how to get bought software and license keys?
Why is support@corecodec.com not answering?
Why did I had to go public (Twitter) to get the customer portal working again?
And most importantly: Why didn't you just kept the old customer portal running and developed the new portal at eg. customerz.corecodec.com or custs.corecodec.com or even what.the.hell.is.going.on.here.all.your.base.are.belong.to.us.in?

I don't want to troll or blame someone. I just would like to know why some companies make themselves so much more (unnecessary) work and if you want help.

CoreAVC is becoming less and less relevant now though as all apu's and gpu's have h.264 hardware decode support and have had this capability for 2yrs+ now. A coreavc type application will become important once HEVC videos become common as current apu's won't be able to hardware decode those. Many gpu's will as they have programmable architectures.

I was able to get it to work, but the new system is all screwed up. My CoreAVC 1.9.5 that was upgraded to 2.0 shows as upgraded to 2.0 and lists my 2.6.2 serial but it still triggers a 1.9.5 download lol

My other CoreAVC order for 2.5 doesnt even show as upgraded to 3.0 so it triggeres a 2.6.2 download, but still lists my 3.0 serial.
My CoreAAC order is completely missing however...

Also, file downloads dont work in a clean way. they just send data with a file name of "CoreAVC" for both 1.9.5 and 2.6.2 without a "proper" file name or .exe extension...

It's also worth noting that the 2.6.2 download isnt digitally signed anymore for whatever reason.

I think the portal currently being online is a early alpha version because of all these bugs. I also think that they enabled it because I (or too many ppl) contacted them and wrote about the problems with license keys and downloads.

Because (I think) it is a alpha version I don't disturb them with "hey, there's a bug". They'll repair that themselves and if not the company will just die. And if they want feedback from us I guess they'll ask us :)

There isn't, hence why there are so few posts in this thread now. All new computers can do hardware decoding of h264. CoreHEVC will be pretty popular but seeing as though coreavc is buggy and is only updated once a year i can see many people boycotting it.

To be honest, i don't care about that company anymore since they don't care about their customers (by the way, I have my license keys, etc. and I don't have any software bugs - I'm not "raging" because of that).

@BetaBoy: Please tell us (or me in private) what's the problem giving customers access to their CD-Keys. Within ONE week i could create a php page with login function and a simple echo'ing of the software DL link and the license key.
There are so many web-devs out there who would like to help (for free) but if you don't ask for help and can't solve it yourself (as we see you can't) web-devs also can't help you.

It's kinda sad to see a company dying which creates well-written code and stable software. First you lose your customers satisfaction (omg), then their trust and then the customer itself ... i thought you have to make money to survive!

I think it's time to close this thread alright. :)

IF and when BetaBoy returns to these forums, 'twill be easy for him to start a brand-new topic. :)

I don't think we should close this thread. Instead I suggest that everybody will stick to the topic again!

That is: Any posts that add new information about the status of CoreAVC or posts that add information on how to workaround the known issues are still welcome.

But any "off topic" posts , i.e. posts that are just bashing/speculation or that repeat the same known problem for the 100-th time, will just be removed...

A small bug report for Haali Splitter.
Some of the new .MOV files can't be split correctly (Haali Splitter doesn't detect the video stream).
A sample file is hangover3-tlr1b_h1080p.mov , the Trailer Posted: 04/12/13 from here [ http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/wb/thehangoverpartiii/ ]

A possible lead: when muxing the .MOV into a .MKV using MKVToolnix, the following warning is reported (the mux is successful though):
Warning: Quicktime/MP4 reader: Track ID 0 has more than one FourCC. Only using the first one (avc1) and not this one (avc1).

Another Haali Splitter issue:
It's unable to detect SOWT and TWOS audio streams at all (usually in .MOV / quicktime container).

BetaBoy, please give us an update, anything.
Is CoreAVC dead and buried?
Is it still worth reporting Haali issues?

What's going on man...

Unable to connect. :(

Last version is v3.0.1, not 3.1.0.1 ! And it was released 20 months ago!

Looks like they abandoned the support including the product.

Right now I want h.265 (aka HEVC), is much better (specially future proof) than h.264.

I contacted Haali's author directly, he was kind enough to link me to a build fixing 'TWOS' audio stream splitting.
He gave me permission to share it, it can be downloaded here (http://haali.su/mkv/mkx.t.2.exe).
Just as a note, this seems to be the version that I posted here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1624370#post1624370) after I tested it, back in April :) . Just wasn't sure if he wanted the test url to be public, so I chose to re-host it when sharing it.

And yes, if you want any fixes to be done into the Haali splitter, I recommend you contact him personally instead of any threads here or anywhere else :) . He used to be on IRC, but he finally dropped all signs of life there around spring of 2012, and around January 2013 he then finally had his bouncer/IRC proxy die off.

be happy! That new version killed everything over here. After installing it I can't play any MKV anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled CoreAVC and everything is working again.

Hello, i have strange problem with coreavc (see attached screenshot). i have reinstalled my netbook and this is what i'm getting now. i'm sure it was ok before.
It looks like there is trouble with filtering. i tried to play with coreavc settings, but it did not help. picture is ok when I play same video file with GOM internal player. But I cannot use that internal player for HD because my netbook has not that good cpu (atom).
Do you have any idea what is wrong and how can I fix this?

Regards,
L.

The problem appears to be that fields are separated (e.g. using a bob algorithm), which reduces the vertical resolution and introduces edge aliasing. Software deinterlacers may decide whether interpolation is useful, based on the difference of the fields, what hardware based deinterlacers may not do. A single screenshot of a still scene does not reveal if deinterlacing is at all required in motion scenes. An "interlaced" (field oriented) encoding is not the only criterion, often the encoding is set up to "interlaced" mode only for technical reasons, not because the video content progresses fieldwise; for such video content, it may be useful to force no deinterlacing.

I've been using CoreAVC for the longest time so what's a good h264 decoder on the market now?

the_weirdo

13th October 2013, 09:15

There's no "best", but IMHO, LAV Video is a very good and stable H.264 DirectShow decoder, which is based on libavcodec. In software mode, its performance can be compared to CoreAVC, even outperform with high bit-depth H.264. It also support hardware-accelerated decoders, include CUVID, DXVA (native and copy-back), QuickSync. And it's free and open-source.

EDIT: I just answered the above question, didn't intend to troll or anything. As CoreCodec has abandoned their product, I think people deserve to know other alternatives if they want.

Thanks for the reply, wow I didn't know forums had rules such as "don't ask what's best", now that is weird.

CoreAVC was the best decoder during it's time, it's too bad they stopped development because I could run 1080p video on my old Pentium 4 system whereas libavcodec would cripple the system.

Not that any of that matters now on my current rig, but just curious if anything new came out to replace CoreAVC during this time.

On the DShow side, I continue to use COREAVC (even though LAV may be faster) because, historically it has had slightly better corruption handling (corrupted DCT coefficients instead of large black blocks, iirc). It's not so important for playback, but for encoding, the errors will be permanantly embedded in the video.

Until last year, I was using the H.264 decoder from DivX. I switched to LAV Video when I found that

1) there are some clips which the DivX filter failed to decompress properly, and

2) the H.264 decoder from ffmpeg/libav finally became as fast as the payware H.264 decompressors :cool: :cool: :cool:

Has there ever been a wattmeter comparison of CoreAVC/Rémoulade/ffmpeg/DXVA2 & CUVID?

Hello,

I have no improvement if I let the 24 cores to MPCHC process or only 16 cores ...

There is a way to set the number of threads ?

He worked with x264 for a short time after CC disbanded (never a public announcement, but it was quickly obvious), and now he's a business consultant in Florida. I wonder if he's the one who keeps the website and hosting up for old times' sake.

BetaBoy will not return to Doom9, so probably it is time to finally lock this thread.

P.S.: besides, "nobody" uses CoreAVC anymore.
