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

[NanoBot]

Hi,

I'm pretty sure...
sample (http://www.mediafire.com/?eogjwgwzi1n)...

thx for the sample, Kurtnoise, an indeed, this one plays fine with the internal splitter.

Here is my sample, which does not work:

sample (http://rapidshare.com/files/216688904/Sample001.mkv.html)

The only difference I can find at a first look is the AR, which is 4/3 in Kurtnoise's sample, while it is 16/9 in my sample.

All my MPEG-2 mkv's have never played OK with the internal matroska splitter too.

[Jong]

AC3Filter lets me analyze it thanks. I can see decoding in ffdshow is perfect, all channels getting content. With mpc-hc decoder front right is mostly mute, sometimes moves up slightly. Below is a screenshot of a particularly active scene, no output on front right at all.

http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2121/truehdproblem.th.jpg (http://img7.imageshack.us/my.php?image=truehdproblem.jpg)Sounds from the posts of both of you like the LFE and Right channels may be swapped. Unless you captured that screenshot in the middle of a big explosion it is unusual to see the LFE channel so high and the behaviour of your FR channel is exactly how LFE normally looks.

that's strange...but all I can say it's that if you remux the video only and play back this mkv remuxed, that works. Problem occurs when you add ac3 streams. :confused:

I can't compile "libavcodec_gcc.lib".

I installed mingw+msys.

I just configured in "src\filters\transform\mpcvideodec\ffmpeg".

but, message viewed "No such file or directory".

How can I do this? just use a ffmpeg svn?

It actually was during a very loud explosive scene. I will investigate later in a less bassy scene.

i see you don't use a bass management ? I think i have a sound because i use bass management. Finaly it's not the LFE in Front R but my bass management.

If i cut bass management i think i wouldn't have no sound in Front R.

[mariner]

Greetings Kaotech.

Are you able to playback all your .evo files using MPC internal splitter?

No I never do anything to alter the sound. It just passes straight through. True HD is the only source that does this messing with FR, and only in mpc-hc. Can anyone else that maybe "thinks" True Hd is working ok for them, hook up something like ac3filter to see what output is coming from each channel. I hope someone can look into this.

[Kaotech]

Greetings Kaotech.

No, nothing work today, i've only the subtitle and vidéo.:(

[mariner]

So you manage to get the video, but not audio?

It's the opposite in my case. No video, only audio.

Yep confirmed by an other user, no sound in front right.

Bug spotted

[Kaotech]

It's the opposite in my case. No video, only audio.

You see on my screen the Video, and filters who works, can you do the same screen with filter to see what you use in audio.

I found a bug in the h.264 dxva decoder.
Playback freezes with a specific file using mpc h.264 dxva decoder but with Microsoft h264 decoder from Windows 7 build 7057 x86 it plays fine using dxva.
File has 16 reference frames but that's no problem to NVIDIA GPU's.
Vista x86 SP2 v.275 / 9800GTX 185.65 / DirectX March / MPC-HC rev1032 or Beliyaal patch 22 on rev1024.

K, I've figured it out.
Dunno why, but while playing true-hd track, FR and LFE channels are switched.
I get normal behaviour with channel remapping.

[mark0077]

Excellent stuff. Now we know whats happening, I guess from the programmers point of view, they might know what is wrong with the code.

Who works on this section of mpc-hc, could we contact them?

[St Devious]

Set up audio switcher in MPC like this pic.

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/2246/audioswitcher.png (http://img12.imageshack.us/my.php?image=audioswitcher.png)

what can be that used for ?

sorry i have no idea, but i have a 5.1 system on my PC.

Can i use AC3 filter instead of MPC's default decoder and stil lhave DXVA acceleration ? Is AC3 better ?

[lych_necross]

i see you don't use a bass management ? I think i have a sound because i use bass management. Finaly it's not the LFE in Front R but my bass management.

If i cut bass management i think i wouldn't have no sound in Front R.
Bass management? Is that something done through custom channel mapping? The only bass management I have (that I know of) is a sub-woofer volume knob on the speaker itself.

[Kaotech]

i had wrong, the cause isn't the bass management, the channel Front Right and LFE are inversed with dolby true HD track. I think it have a mistake during the compil of MPC. using channel mapping of totozero with Dolby true HD track, with other track disable Mixer.

alexins need fixed this bug.

wolf2009, the channel mapping i posted it's just a test for mark007, but now you knew the problem with dolby true HD.

[Lincoln Burrows]

I am not sure what exactly is going on with MPC subtitles, but I will try to explain. Same thing happened with normal MPC.

BSPlayer PRO:
If you set size 40 for the subtitles, it will display the same size in both display methods: watching the video in fullscreen and with any window size (not fullscreen). I am also using those options here (all enabled):

Use 'shadow' effect for subtitles
Use outline font
Use anti-aliased font
Transparent background
Auto-load any subtitles in current directory
Auto-split lines that are too long

Ignore margins for primary display
Maximum subtitle display time (msec) = 1500
Subtitle margins width - 10%
Subtitle margins bottom - 10%
Default subtitle - 1
Font smoothing = 30

Enable VobSub Support
Load subtitles into memory
Subtitle resizing: 100%Now, all options that are DISABLED in BSP:

- Subtitles disabled
- Draw subtitles to Overlay surface
- Use Subtitle Mixer for subtitles in OGG files
- Auto resize font if line is too long
- Resize OSD and subtitle font automaticallyPlus, I am using those settings:

Internal renderer overlay/default
VMR-9 renderless, renderind mode = Mode 1

Now, back to MPC-HC. If I attempt to display a subtitle with a size 40, it will be 2-3 times larger than the BSP one. So the sizes are not matching. If you watch the MPC video using a small window, the subtitle will look smaller. If you watch on fullscreen, it will look like a size 80 instead of 40. If you know what I mean.

And not only that. While I was using BSP, I was able to do two things that in terms of subtitles, are important to me.

First, by pressing shift + UP or DOWN, I was able to adjust the subtitle's position in the screen. And I can do that WHILE THE VIDEO IS RUNNING.

The second and last thing was the ability to delay the subtitle a little bit to achieve a better sync by pressing CONTROL + LEFT or RIGHT. From my personal experience, a simple control + left will adjust 90% of translated subtitles from DiVx files that I receive on a daily-basis.

They need to be corrected less than a second. And by pressing a single combination everytime the video starts, I can do that. Maybe pressing twice sometimes, you never know. That method always worked for me, since I can adjust the subtitle sync (if the rest is not messed) in real time.

Both functions are enabled on MPC/HC? And what is wrong with the rest?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of the d3dx9_41.dll file from the installation package?

Thank you. :)

Could you try with Eac3 files too and tell me if channel are ok (unfortunatly i don't have 5.1 speakers at home...)

[Kaotech]

Casimir, it work now with Dolby True Hd track,

Thank you ;)

[Casimir666]

Casimir, it work now with Dolby True Hd track,

Can you check left and right : i have inverted those channels too.

[mariner]

Greetings Casimir.

Can the internal splitter handle .evo files now?

Thanks and best regards.

[Kaotech]

Can you check left and right : i have inverted those channels too.

Ok i checked one moment on a movie, with a plane come to the left, and the sound is correct to the front left.

I can not test other moment, because when i seek, mpc crash.

[Kaotech]

i have a new problem with all version of MPC, when i put a 1080p24, whith MPC Decoder with D3D fullscreen checked, i have this problem on the pic.

When i don't use D3D fullscreen i haven't this problem

Anyone Know why is it like this ?

[gngn]

did you check "VMR9 Mixer Mode" in the Output options?

[Leak]

Anyone Know why is it like this ?
Because 1920x1080 isn't mod16 vertically.

Turn on VMR mixer mode and it should be gone...

np: Beaumont Hannant - Beaumonthannanttwomx (Autechre - Basscad EP)

[Kaotech]

Thank you my friends it's working with VMR Mixer and now the vidéo is 1920 x 1080 and no 1920 x 1088.

The internal MPEG4 ASP decoder does not work correctly for MKVs with native V_MPEG4/ISO/ASP for me. The video is jerky. Tried both Haali's and the internal splitter. Ffdshow does no exhibit this problem.

Here's a sample:
http://home.pages.at/bond_/matroska_native-mp4.7z

Might be the reason for the issue I just found, testing which video my mobile phone supports:

MPC-HC has issues with MP4 files and derived 3GPP2 files containing MPEG4 ASP video created using MeGUI and xvid_encraw 1.2.1, as well as an AAC audio stream.

The following prerequisites apply:

ColorBars.avs
ColorBars(176,128,"YV12")
Info()
Trim(0,1000)

ColorBars.ASP-AAC.mp4 (http://www.ligh.de/test/ColorBars.ASP-AAC.mp4) (356 KB)

MPC-HC 1.2.908.0 cannot find any video stream, plays audio only.
Windows Media Player 6.4 (mplayer2.exe) - respectively Haali Media Splitter - cannot find any video stream, plays audio only.
VLC 0.9.8a (Grishenko) plays correctly.
MediaInfo 0.7.13 detects the whole structure.

ffmpeg.exe -f 3g2 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -i ColorBars.ASP-AAC.mp4 ColorBars.ASP-AAC.3g2

ColorBars.ASP-AAC.3g2 (http://www.ligh.de/test/ColorBars.ASP-AAC.3g2) (361 KB)

MPC-HC 1.2.908.0 plays only I-frames, video is flakey like a few B-frames get applied sometimes.
Windows Media Player 6.4 (mplayer2.exe) plays it correctly.
VLC 0.9.8a (Grishenko) plays it correctly.
MediaInfo 0.7.13 detects the whole structure.
__

P.S.:

Appears to be fixed in the SVN 1038 build above.
__

P.P.S.:

Not fixed - more complex material shows color distortions playing the 3G2 file (any motion turning to green), and an undetected video stream playing the MP4 file.

And furthermore: Why am I not able to disable the MPC-HC internal decoders?

Ah, no - 3G2 files are passed to QuickTime. The internal MPEG4 decoder and ffdshow decode it correctly. But Haali Media Splitter does not detect the video stream reliably.

The MPC window is stuttering when moving it while playing a video. Audio and video get out of sync but as soon as you stop moving it, it gets back in sync. This happens only with EVR CP, EVR itself is just fine.

Hi,
i've seen the Pattern FileName for the "Save Image" is changed to Date / Time.
Can a swith be added to change it to

Frame / Date /Time

or something different that include Frame Number?

That would be sooo useful.

Thank you very much

http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/3299/filters.png

[leeperry]

am I daydreaming or there used to be an option in MPC to force the number of channels of the Intervideo Audio Decoder...or maybe it was KMP or ZP :confused:

doing the same w/ the Arcsoft Audio Decoder would be really awesome, because it defaults to stereo each time you open a new file...and that's like one of the only(if not the only?) DTS decoder that does 24/96 in a DS graph :o

eac3to specifies 5.1 when it decodes, so it's only a matter of providing the proper argument when adding the filter in the DS graph I think?

I guess someday you will provide full support for BD playback, but how good would that be in stereo..

[Beliyaal]

New version (Link in signature):
* Added: Options for GPU flushing behaviour.
* Added: Errors creating EVR Custom and VMR9 renderers are reported by message box.
* Added: Default and optimal renderer settings reset option.
* Added: Option to disable desktop composition.
* Added: Renderer settings displayed in stats.
* Changed: By default the renderer doesn't block waiting for GPU flushes. (Might fix Radeon 2400 HD AGP problems)
* Changed: All renderer settings available from right click menu.
* Fixed: Jitter is 126 instead of 125 frames for better FPS average in most cases.
* Fixed: Cleaned up stats. Only stats that are currently valid are displayed.
* Fixed: Stats text scaled according to screen size.
* Fixed: All render settings except D3D fulscreen now applies without restart

Please report any problems and discuss this build in the thread linked in signature.
