I made some tests with r368/6600GT (PV1)/Forceware 169.21/Win XP.

First, thanks to improve MPC-HC :).

I can't have any hardware acceleration in any renderer. DXVA works with PowerDVD (VMR9, Motion Compensation, no frame drop) with apple trailers and some mkv (animes) but I can't get DXVA working with the internal decoder :confused:

This build crashes when playing any AVC file with EVR either custom or plain. VMR9 does not run in DXVA mode and the video is choppy.

Guys, please help. I found a bug with subtitle. English subtitle works ok in ANSI and Unicode. But russian subtitle works ok only in unicode or ANSI if I am launch second copy of MPC. Look at that

Sorry but it will not with 6600GT because only bitstream mode is supported, not motion compensation :(

@Casimir666
Tried it here also with 8800 GT and 169.21 WinXP SP2 and if DXVA is active this beta build just closes as soon as i try to load any H.264 in any container if i disable DXVA it works. Cyberlinks Decoder works fine with the full Hardware Capabilities of the G92 0% CPU usage.

It doesn't work for me

I have got a 8600GTS with XPsp2 uising EVR CA. I have turned on DXVA with mplayer internal video decoder and the filter properties and OSD says that DXVA is not used.

Cyberlink H264 decoder that works with only 5% CPU usage in WMR9 here freezes with EVR CA. Is this supposed to work as well?

Thanks for your support

CruNcher

8th January 2008, 21:13

Nope not EVR use VMR9 then it should work (Forceware 169.21 WHQL) :)
theirs only some percent of Kernel usage i think it comes from Haalis Splitter CPU usage is 0% :) and 32mb ram playing back 1920x1080 7Mbit 30 fps (test sequence no sound) with Cyberlinks filter 100mb ram are consumed and the same Kernel usage :)

DXVA Mode: H264 Bitstream Decoder, no FGT
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 30.00fps (works perfect) (30Mb Memory usage 70Mb less then what Cyberlinks Decoder needs 100Mb) (0% Cpu Usage) (arround 0-10% Kernel usage)

Casimir666 do you think it's possible to ehhhm borrow ;) PowerDVDs or Showtimes Framework to display DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Menus (noncrypted) ;) ?

Black under XP here too with VMR9 and VMR9 Renderless. And System is not very responsive when starting playback.
With Overlay Mixer I get gray screen but system stays responsive.

CyberLink works well in Bitstream mode with all 3 renderers.

8600GTS with FW 169.21

Would be great to be independent from CyberLink. Hopefully we will also see an external DirectShow filter that can be used inside DVB player software (ffdshow is also based on libavcoded/ffmpeg).

CruNcher

8th January 2008, 22:38

Black Screens are most probably caused by incompatible H.264 Bitstreams they have to be Standard Complaint to work and need to be encoded within certain Hardware limits, if that's not the case Nvidias Hardware is gonna reject them displaying a black screen especialy if the level_idc flag in the bitstream is wrong, but if also num_ref_frame is to high encoded for a given resolution then this stream won't ever Play error Free on Hardware.

Here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=132924 you can find certain workarounds (for old non compatible Streams) and updates to X264 to make Streams more Hardware Compatible in the Future :)

As I said, works perfectly in hardware with the CyberLink decoder (also in MPC, verified Bitstream-Profile within extended filter properties). I have used a Pro7 HD recording (ts container) for testing.

Jep the Problem seems to be MBAFF tried some streams now and all MBAFF streams don't work (with Cyberlink they work) :(

DeepBeepMeep

8th January 2008, 22:54

Thanks for your help!

With VRM9 and the internal decoder I have some picture but with plenty of decoding glitches and a high CPU usage . Cyberlink AVC still works but does this version brings offer any advantage for XP DXVA users compared to the last official version?

In fact, I have still haven't found a way to prevent mplayer from skipping any frame. The jitter function shows that one frame is skipped every 30-60s although CPU usage is very low (12% on a dual core). I don't know if it is related to reclock tha I use to accelerate movies from 23.978 to 25 ftps. I had hoped that EVR support with DXVA on XP could maybe solve this issue. Is there some hope that EVR and DXVA will be possible on XP or is it impossible?

AFAIK, Pro7 HD uses PAFF.

Hmm strange then but yeah i have problems with all SAT sample streams i have here in my testfiles and all of them work with Cyberlink.
syriana_h1080p.mov <- also doesn't work geez slowly all this Hardware Problems really are getting painfull.
So for now it seems alot of content won't work with the Filter yet but most custom content that's (almost) standard complaint should strange really strange all this is.
Im almost sure alot of those Black Screens are coused by Parseing problems (Video Decoder Filter doesn't get the correct information).

Now also tried a HD suisse TS sample (SRG SSR) I just recorded but black screen also. HD suisse is 720p50 (@ up to 13 MBit/s), so no interlacing at all. Timeslider in MPC does not move, it just says playing. DXVA mode again says 'H.264 bitstream decoder, no FGT', but nothing is being played back...

CyberLink 'Bitstream' profile also has problems with this sample, dropping a lot of frames after some seconds of proper decoding. No problem however in pure software with CyberLink and ArcSoft.

Actually this progressive stream from SRG SSR is one oft the best I have ever seen (Swiss mountains, very nice content ;) ).

Why are 2 core's used when DXVA is available?

CruNcher

9th January 2008, 12:42

Ehmm actually i think they aren't used @ all i couldn't see any CPU activity only Kernel when playing back so i think Decoding Thread number comes only into play if DXVA isn't enabled or if for example the Card doesn't support CABAC (no full bitstream accelleration), then the (rest complexity) could be decoded by 2 CPU threads (makes sense) :)

Btw i found some streams that show really odd problems (only first part of the top gets decoded) with the Filter most of those are Apple Quicktime SD Encodes from Apples Websites im not sure but it could be a Slice Decoding Problem here with Cyberlinks Decoder as allways it works flawless.

9th January 2008, 13:05

Why are 2 core's used when DXVA is available?It's default settings. Changing to 1 has same effect (black screen only)

Well, I can't get H264 DXVA working on WinXP SP2 at all (tried with the latest build), no matter what kind of renderer I chose (VMR9 windowed / - renderless / EVR / EVR Custom)

Geforce 7600 GT
Forceware 158.22
evr.dll 5.0.1.1 (2006.10.20)
dxva2.dll 5.0.1.1 (2006.10.20)

Is my card the problem ???

Thanks

Just have to read some posts here!

First off DXVA 2.0 does not work under XP with EVR so it does not matter which EVR and DXVA2 DLL's you have. Use renderers supporting DXVA 1 (Overlay Mixer, VMR). Second problem is that your GPU is not supported at all, so you can forget about it. Only GPU's supporting the 'Bitstream' profile (with full H.264 decoding) are supported.

Thanks for the quick answer and for clearing things up !
So I have to buy at least a GF 8500 GPU ...

GeForce 9 series will support Video Processor 3 (aka PureVideo 3).
Hope that those can decode all types of h264 (including those made with x264).

I'm testing the latest posted build in XP Pro SP2, Ati X1900Xt + Catalyst 7.12. I have enabled dxva but it doesn't seem to work. I tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything. Does somebody knows if the dxva option works with ati cards? Everybody seems to be using nvidia cards :)

Thanks!

As others reported, your latest build does not crash (as the last one did) when trying to run h264 content with DXVA enabled. It does however not help much, as the screen goes black and the clip never starts to play.

One step in the right direction though. Keep up the good work! I too want to get rid of powerdvd.

I'm using Vista with standard EVR on 8500GT.

not sure if anyone else is getting a similar problem, but am using the latest build (r373 iirc?) and when skipping forward in a movie using the seek bar at the bottom, from the point it skips to, it seems to play in fast forward.

have tested different avi and mkvs and so far both do the same thing. problem occurs on my laptop (ati x1300 mobility) and my desktop (ati 2400pro).

any ideas?

edit: also, right click-->after playback always defaults to "do nothing" even if i set to close, is there a fix for that?

Ok what is a good latest stable release of MPC? I have tried the MPC Home Cinema and it has severe bugs. But the latest build I am using is 6.1.9.0 and I know their is more up to date releases out there.

Ok I have thought I would try this release out and it crashes my computer. I tried VMR9 windowed and VMR non windowed and same problem.

BUGS:

1. Secondary Fullscreen does not work
2. In fullscreen alt+enter would not take it out of fullscreen
3. In fullscreen the context menu kept disappearing
4. Trying to movie window while video playing locked up my computer
5. Trying to exit window with forced alt+f4 when in fullscreen and I could not exit the fullscreen crashed and rebooted my computer.

It's definitely not ready to use and I was running this on a 32bit Windows XP Pro Sp2 release of windows with a Nvidia Geforce6600GT video card with latest DirectX 9.

Hmm.. found the beta 11.2 here and it works with secondary fullscreen.. The opensource project page needs updating them versions don't work at all.

13th January 2008, 18:42

suggestion:
option to disable low merit mode for internal filter

if an internal filter is unchecked but mpc can't find an external filter, an internal filter is used in low merit mode. the only way to know this is by looking at the 'filters' list under 'play' menu. it would be useful to be aware of when this is happening.

or if completely disabling low merit mode is too much, then maybe an option to enable pop-up warnings of when this is happening?

Your ATI PS resizer fix build works ok now when upscaling using pixel shader on ATI card. As for DXVA decoding, I guess it's at revision 376 too as xxl's build has the same problem. Anyway DXVA compatibility is worse than previous build, it crashes or freezes with files that previously don't work. One time, it even brought my system down with it (if you need the minidump, I still have it). For files that had been working, there's a series now that crashes after awhile. It's Genjo's ghost hound. BTW, this is on XP SP2 now BTW drivers and windows up to date.

EDIT: can you make the PS resizer use PS3 now if available, as that normally works way faster than PS2 on ATI HD series card.
