http://www.dump.ro/fisiere/mplayerc-rar/117893/eLauTSbW9xT80WNWThank you both!Using the latest build Media Player Classic HomeCinema x86 1156 still cant play MTS files correctly using the internal DXVA decoder. The video just displays the picture, and no movement of the video, using cyberlinks H.264 plays smooth.

Its not a problem for me, as i can use the cyberlinks decoders, but would be nice, if that can be fixed.

Windows 7 x64 RC 7100 (latest direct x runtime installed)

Internal DXVA is still broken in 1156 with h264. It displays jumping frames as if the frame buffers are not displayed in the correct order. Tested on BDs with h264 streams - it failed on all of them. Cyberlink PDVD7 h264 DXVA and 1137 work fine. All this on Win XP, Catalyst 9.5, VMR9 rl and ATI 2600 Pro AGP. I tried ALL combinations of render settings (VSync, Flush GPu etc).

Windows 7 thumbnails support only button as control.

Damn, i didnt know.

Most of the items mentioned are things that I shut off when I setup a new PC. ;)

I hate all of this utilities in order to make PC faster, they cut very important features.
I dont think that's a good idea to turn off things like Sueprfetch, UAC, Indexing, UIPI, at least in a 2k9 OS.
If you do it, you can use Win2k and you wont notice the difference.

Im using W7 7201 and the only service i disabled is Defender. Trust me, its a great OS.

Hello, I would like to ask about the state of DXVA on Intel graphics. Which cards are supported? Which cards might be supported in the future? Which OS?

I tried to search through the forum, but couldn't find an answer.

Maybe the information could be updated on the official page as a work in progress.

Same problem. But if I disable mixer mode of VMR9_Renderless in Output page, files play fine. My config: Win XP, Catalyst 9.5, VMR9_Renderless and ATI 3850.

And one more question:

Ok still broken with XP :(

on Nvidia and XP it's not that bad now. it wont show jumping frames or the video will freeze as it did on 1141 with some videos, but the frame rate judder is still chaotic with most 1080p files if i have shaders active (YV12upsampling+sharpencomplex2). one example is Utawarerumono_Creditless_OP (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nfzjnzzdt3y), problem that i already posted here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1292709#post1292709) about 1141. with 1137 GPUWaitTime is between 10-11ms, with 1156 GPUWaitTime is between 10-36ms, one frame its 10ms, the next frame it jumps to 36 and then back to 10-11
with some really demanding files it's not even necessary to enable shaders to get frame drops. on this (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dznmzvlnmtq) 13 sec file i get arround 1/3 dropped frames. this is the best sample i have to exemplify the problem introduced with 1141.


1137+shaders ______________ 1156+shaders

my tests have shown that besides files with ReFrames=16 and files with ReFrames=15 and Bpyramid enabled, everything will play with Nvidia and DXVA now on XP. if others confirm this the internal limitation should be updated . still, files with ReFrames=15 and Bpyramid work with CoreAVC 1.9.5

A lot of those are marketing features looking for reasons to exist.

Indexing is a good example. It uses all sorts of PC time to make searches faster. If you do a LOT of searches, maybe you break even, but actually it doesn't take very long to do a search anyway - and I never use MS' search ( I use Agent Ransack by force of habit, but I am sure there are even better ones out there.)

In any event, I have found that for a Home Theater PC, you need to turn off all services and TSRs that are not absolutely necessary. Otherwise, you are watching a video and suddenly it pauses and you see the hard drive light flash for 5-10 seconds and then your video resumes. :(

Some files (TS: MPEG2 1920x1080 29.97fps 19000Kbps Dolby AC3 48000Hz stereo 384Kbps) are playing very choppy with EVR CP no matter what splitters and / or filters (internal and various external tested) I'm using, but changing the renderer ( any other ) it's resulting in a smooth play ! :confused:

Hopefully they will make something more usable than dxva at some point(not the horror it currently is, that has to be called at renderer level)

PS The tracker is a big step forward in keeping MPC-HC as stable and bug free as possible, thanks !Thanks for that, i did have the problem in the past (so bad that i used the keyboard to navigate DVD's), however with some updates to MPC-HC the problem became almost unnoticable, now i cannot reproduce it anymore at all.Does anyone know whats is DXVA-HD? This is new in Windows 7. Whats difference to previous DXVA1/2? Nvidia already released beta drivers with support for dxva-hd.I'm not 100% sure but it appears to be a new version of DXVA with a new overlay renderer. It has been designed from the ground up to support HD formats (apperantly previous DXVA versions where ment for SD). Also it should abstract the videocard functions entirely, meaning the same code will work on all videocards with DXVA-HD drviers.

Here is some information about:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd434675.aspx

As it is part of WDDM1.1 it is only available on Windows7.
It is one of the many cool new things windows7 brings to the table.
Things that could be upgraded that would be cool but break backwards compatibility if they where exclusive are:
-WASAPI (new audio renderer in vista and up)
-Direct2d(replaces GDI(+)available later for vista, part of DirectX11), Could be used as a font overlay renderer, basically giving you any font with any special effect for free.
-Media foundation (the replacement for directshow, vista and up, most notable effect of using this is strongly reduced jitter, especially on a busy system)

There is more but that would force you to use .NET which could have a performance penalty(although i a full .NET application gets a lot of security bonusses)

Hello,

I've recently found out my ATI HD4350 is capable of decoding H264 High Profile L5.1 (I've tested the Killa.sampla.x264.mkv file with 16 ref frames) on my P4 3.0GHz HT using full hardware acceleration which would've otherwise chocked using MPC-HC.

My question is, while this is not available via DXVA, it's available via AVIVO API - is it possible to use AVIVO API to decode HP@L5.1 in MPC-HC? I know all it does right now is sending bitstream as-is to the card via DXVA, but are there any plans to use AVIVO API in the future? It doesn't look like ATI is going to support L5.1 in DXVA mode.

For more info on how I got hardware acceleration to work on my old P4 single core HTPC, see my settings here (http://zachsaw.blogspot.com/2009/06/ati-hd-hardware-accelerated-dxva-for.html). I love MPC-HC with its shaders and stuff so I'd prefer to ditch PowerDVD completely and settle for MPC-HC for a one app for all video solution.

tetsuo55
10th June 2009, 14:51
Hi Zachs,
We would need a lot more information about how it works before we could do anything.
As far as i know AVIVO is en encoder not decoder.

What i think is that powerDVD uses the stream api to (assisted?) decode these streams (similar to CUDA).
Casimir has already stated that assisted decoding is too difficult to program.

The only chances of getting this in MPC-HC is:
-If it uses bitstream decoding
-The api is open and available

The stream api description and an opensource SDK is available on AMD Developer Central (http://developer.amd.com), together with some other open api's and sdks, that might also be useful for some other parts of the program. But I doubt it uses bitstream decoding.

I have a problem with svn 1156 when playing H264 720p in DXVA mode... The playback is not smooth, sometimes frames keep jumping back and forth. But it works fine with svn 1137.

And another thing.. I noticed a big performance hit when playing HD files in non-DXVA if I use the bicubic resizer instead of bilinear. Maybe this could use some optimizations...

And another thing.. I noticed a big performance hit when playing HD files in non-DXVA if I use the bicubic resizer instead of bilinear. Maybe this could use some optimizations...The bicubic resizer did not work (it probably never did) correctly. It has been fixed now and works completely as expected, however actually doing bicubic resizing is much more difficult and some videocards can not handle the load.

That said, it would be great if someone could write a new version based on PS5.0(with fallback options for older cards 5.0>4.1>4.0>3.0>2.0(a/b)) Not sure how important each between step is.
Also rewriting using C++0x (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B0x) could lead to a leap in performance.

Hi

Sorry for my bad english, but I think there is a bug in MPC-HC in Windows 7. The problem I have is that if I put EVR Custom Optimal Setting there's tearing in D3D.

If I put the default setting there is no tearing. I think it just the Alternatives Vsync.

Is it a bug or is it normal ?

Thank you.

you can find here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1281093#post1281093) a short description of these settings. you should use Alternative VSync only if you want to adjust VSync manually (with Ctrl+Alt+UP, Ctrl+Alt+DOWN), else it's probably best to leave it off. i also encounter tearing if i just enable Alternative VSync but then dont adjust it acordingly.
also enable Wait for flushes and check if the FPS judder is more smooth. it helps on my 8600GTS.

Hi all,

I am wondering how long would you guys think it will be before mpc-hc can play blu-ray properly. Today I rented out a movie to watch with the gf (don't mess with the zohan), and was surprised when I couldn't find a large 30gb file. The main movie was split into approx 15 parts. I got the movie to play by dragging all into a mpc-hc playlist, but at the end of each clip, I got a noticible black screen, loss of audio, few seconds of nothing, then continued.

I don't want to use PowerDVD :D I just love mpc-hc and have gotten used to it. Any work ongoing to get proper blu-ray playback going.

Thanks,

Jong

Not that I've tried it, I am still using PowerDVD until all the audio/subtitle issues are completely resolved (maybe in the next stable release, or near to it), but I am sure I read that if you "Open DVD" and point at the Blu-ray folder it is supposed to automatically play the main movie, including linking files if it is a seemless branching title.

Why not try it and see if a) this does happen and b) if it overcomes the obvious gaps between files (anything is possible)!

You're probably using XP, Casimir is working on the problem
But how can that be, seeing as you claimed that I was the only person in the world having this problem?
FWIW, the problem is there under Vista SP2 also, only not as pronounced and not as frequently.

I can't disable the subtitle captions when viewing DVDs, I'm using winXP SP3, with an i945g. Latest KLite Codec Pack. DVD only works fine with OVERLAY output, but that ugly black box captions is imposible to disable. (Normal Subs can be enabled/disabled, it shows both at the same time).

Your problem is related to the powerDVD filter, similar behaviour.
However none of us have been able to reproduce, and you do not wish to follow our bug reporting rules, thus making it even more difficult to help you.

Phaser did not follow the rules either, but the situation he describes matches a know problem, hence the use of "probably"I can't disable the subtitle captions when viewing DVDs, I'm using winXP SP3, with an i945g. Latest KLite Codec Pack. DVD only works fine with OVERLAY output, but that ugly black box captions is imposible to disable. (Normal Subs can be enabled/disabled, it shows both at the same time).Do you have vobsub installed? probably both the internal and external subtitle renderers are enabled simultaniously. Disabling one should fix the problem (preferably the one showing the captions)

Thanks, but yeah this is the first thing I tried. I thought it simply played the largest file available. It actually started playing what looked like a cut scene when I did this, which led me to lining the up manually. Just would love to have an idea if its being worked on, or abandoned.

Navigate -> Subtitle Language -> uncheck "enabled"

Otherwise, perhaps your MPEG-2 decoder is handling the closed captions.

none of my HD caps now work, they come up saying playing with DXVA and the time just stays on 00:00:00 this is for both ITV HD and BBC HD caps. have to go back to an old version for it to work.

I have the same problem with most H.264 ts recordings. Only a few will play normally. Build 1137 is fine. It's broken in 1150-1160 (I don't have any builds between 1137 and 1150), so I'm guessing it's the same or another 1141-regression.

BTW, I'm on Vista-SP2, so it isn't a WinXP problem.

yep vista SP2 as well.

also, i have to untick MPEG PS/TS/PVA source filter as otherwise it either goes green or is very very jerky. you have this issue as well?

ill make a quick 50mb sample of the tennis and upload :)

Nope. It's the same with the internal decoder. I never said otherwise.
In fact, the internal filter is all I use under Vista (EVR CP), for both H.264 and VC-1 (DXVA, Radeon 3650, Catalyst 9.5).

you do not wish to follow our bug reporting rules
I don't do bugtrackers. If I find a bug, I post it here.

Like this one: with the internal ts splitter enabled, it is impossible to play back any BBC HD caps (H.264). Totally impossible. I cap and cut them myself, so I have plenty to try with.
Using Haali splitter on same caps: no problemo, but only works with Cyberlink decoder.

I don't do bugtrackers. If I find a bug, I post it here.But you will still have to follow the bug reporting rules, it;s the only way to guarantee its not a misconfiguration on the reports side while making sure everything is in place for us to reproduce it.
Bugs we cannot reproduce will never get fixed, its the basic logic of bug fixing.
