We are working on the double image issue in EVR. ETA unknown.

[Silent Rain]

Where do I upload this video?

[Tiduz]

At first my 1080P MPEG2 TP files didnt get DXVA, but i got 30 fps @ high cpu load (original fps)

now i have DXVA but it makes the video go at 60 fps, sometimes giving me jittery/stuttery video when the camera moves up or down, can i limit it to 30 fps so itll do DXVA @ 30 fps?

[tetsuo55]

Just for my personal information, why you canN't adapt Mpc to read Hddvd ?

[tetsuo55]

Just for my personal information, why you canN't adapt Mpc to read Hddvd ?The format is dead, but there are a lot of discs out there.
The existing devs dont have hddvd and are not interested in the reverse engineering required to support it.

(which sucks because i have some hddvd discs too)

I'm looking at an issue with the DirectX device used in EVR and VMR9 custom renderers and a possible solutions for this issue. One solution would entail disabling the "Use worker thread to construct the filter graph" option. My question is: how useful is this option? In what scenarios? On my fast computer I really don't notice much difference from a user point of view. The graph builds fairly instantaneously. But it might matter on slower computers? -A

We have to keep this option: files should be opened in background by default. This is even more necessary when opening URL for streaming

[namaiki]

Well I'm using windows 7 64 bit with aero enabled. Screnn refresh exactly matches video rate at 23.976 and graph is perfectly flat. It's just that the audio and video lines in the graph ate a distance apart

with aero enabled can't the renderers figure out what the extra one refresh delay from aero will mean in terms of video delay and compensate for it maybe by adding the same audio delay to get Audi and video lines closer together.

AFAIK there is no such compensation feature availavble, however, you should be able to get delay down to ~10ms.. try reclock default settings(maybe change audio quality or interface) but try leave v-sync handling to mpc-hc. try the presets for reset to optimal renderer settings or default renderer settings since you have aero enabled (with aero disabled, only optimal really works).

You have probably tried all this though...

What I have tested: 30fps, 60Hz screen, delay is -1 to -10ms.

[buzzqw]

would be possibile to add to automatic list of refrest change the 23.976 , 29.97 and 59.94fps (32bit color)?

i don't want to use 24fps refresh for 23.976fps source.

and my video card support all these framerate

BUG: the automatic refresh change don't trigger if mpc is set to start in full screen mode.
the refresh change trigger only when starting in normal window then goes to full screen

Anyone have DXVA with Intel HD Graphics (Clarkdale i3 or i5)? With Windows XP and current driver (6.14.10.5189) DXVA Checker reports only MPEG-2 capability and even that does not show active in MPC-HC using CyberLink decoder (it does with ATI GPU). MPC-HC internal AVC and VC-1 (DXVA) fail to connect.

[X-Dron]

Monitor modes list is formed using EnumDisplaySettings function and type DEVMODE output variable.
Field dmDisplayFrequency in DEVMODE has type DWORD. So dmDisplayFrequency can't be fractional.

BUG: the automatic refresh change don't trigger if mpc is set to start in full screen mode.
the refresh change trigger only when starting in normal window then goes to full screen

I'll check. But automatic refresh change calls not only in TriggerFullscreen but also on opening new content.

Regarding this issue, I also tried to insert the filter ffdshow video.

With this configuration, the problem is resolved, I do not understand why :confused::confused:

could be possible to use another "way" to change refresh ?
something like display changer or the reclock.vbs (without using reclock)

Yeah thats weird you have such little delay. I have always had some sort of delay, video and audio are never perfectly together on graph.

As I say, using reclock vsync enabled, the audio and video lines in graph are seen to converge. Then its like mpc-hc snaps the graph back to a 10-30ms delay again. Reclock starts over again then if its vsync is also enabled (although I leave it disabled in normal situations, i enabled just to test it out).

The logic in evr-cp and syncrenderer regarding this isn't very good I feel. IT should be able to get audio / video sync much closer.

i am interested in that too, because i need real 24p too. :)

[ar-jar]

We have to keep this option: files should be opened in background by default. This is even more necessary when opening URL for streaming

Some more background: The docs say "Any call to create, release, or reset the device must be done using the same thread as the window procedure of the focus window." I interpret this so that I need to create and when needed, reset, the device from the windows procedure of the window I pass as focus window to IDirect3D9::CreateDevice. As it is now in all DX renderers, the device is not released from the same thread that it is created on and we probably get a dangling reference in the creation thread when we create a new device. the D3 debugger gives an error on this too.

My idea is therefore to let the windows procedure thread handle the creation and reset of the DX device. I guess I can send messages from any thread but I don't know what kinds of synchronization issues I run into having all these threads doing stuff in parallel when building the graph.

Maybe you have some input or further ideas? -A

lets you change the framerate of almost any video file by increasing the framerate using avisynth plugin mvtools2
Development of Russian, but has English interface.
for simply installing the system (in the process will offer to install ffdshow and avisynth) and allow the utility to start. then switch the interface language, run the video in your player and get a result, a smooth picture on your monitor. then is run on the settings. interface is intuitive.

Here is a strange one. I have a dvd "The Village" which worked a few weeks ago. Now I notice the DVD Navigator outputs video / audio and subpicture as type Unknown. The problem here is, if I have ffdshow in the chain, I hear no audio, because it obviously doesn't like this. Without ffdshow I hear audio, but output type is still Unknown. See below. Why would this happen? Any quick fixes?

Since 1517 auto change fullscreen resolution for different video content; add fullscreen Option page;

[mark0077]

Loving the new fullscreen change options. Just a few comments / bugs

1) It doesn't detect rate changes during playback. IE playing 25fps pal material using reclock, slows the content to 24fps. But mpc-hc doesn't detect the slowdown, so it sets my display to 50hz rather than 23 hz.... A possible improvement I guess, to use fullscreen change resolution logic on rate change, not just on file load?

EDIT: actually playing 25fps content on 50hz, and loading 23.976 file, mpc-hc doesn't change my refresh rate. Strangely exiting mpc-hc, then causes mpc-hc to switch my display to 23.976 mode. It means mpc-hc could possibly change the resolution 2 hours too late :P Unfortunately ar-jar's renderer doesn't seem to detect rate changes full stop. I will switch to his renderer as soon as this is implemented, but both evr-cp and synchrenderer have the above problem.

---------------------
2) Another niggle, with all of the options in "Fullscreen" enabled, coming out of fullscreen mode leaves me with a teeny weeny window. I have set "Zoom" to Auto Fit, but it gets disabled the next time I load a file, leaving me again with tiny window when I come out of fullscreen mode.
---------------------
3) Even if I disable, "Apply default monitor mode on fullscreen exit", mpc-hc on close, is reverting to the refresh rate that I went into it at. This is now what I want. I want it to exit and touch nothing. I can't find a way to stop it doing this on exit.
---------------------
4) Sometimes double clicking mpc-hc to go into fullscreen mode, I get the following, where parts of the desktop can be seen around the image on all sides. Very strange :P Coming out and back into fullscreen mode doesn't repeat this.

---------------------
GUI Enhancement: I would have loved a setting like below, as a slight tweak to whats already there. Basically all of the existing rates, plus the doubles of them (when de-interlacing content to double frame rates).

23.50 - 24.00 - 1920 x 1080 @ 23Hz
24.50 - 25.00Hz - 1920 x 1080 @ 50Hz
29.50 - 30.00Hz - 1920 x 1080 @ 59Hz
47.50 - 48.00Hz - 1920 x 1080 @ 48Hz
49.50 - 50.00Hz - 1920 x 1080 @ 50Hz
29.50 - 60.00Hz - 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz

Other - 1920 x 1080 @ 50hz
Desktop - 1920 x 1080 @ 60hz

"Apply desktop monitor mode on fullscreen exit"
"Apply desktop monitor mode on mpc-hc exit"

Hi guys,
would be possible in the future introduce this new feature :
When you have multiple folders (for example episode01 , episode02 and episode03) when the file u're playing is over mpchc search for the next one. So suppose u're playing episode02 then mpchc will run episode03 automatically.

Thx

Thanks for the reply.

I greatly appreciate your work, and I apologize if sometimes I repeat these reports not perfect functioning of the MPC Video decoder.

found one missing thing and have one question:
in the right-click-menu the shortcut for Display-stats (Ctrl-J) is missing (thougt the shortcut were gone. piuhh)

and for playing arround with the new renderers a behaviour like in some other players would make the testperiod a little faster:

Press stop twice to unload the movie and change to the new settings. press play start the last loaded file.
(Or is this function already there and i'm to dumb to see?)

You are right there is a threading problem in the surface creation/destruction, but we have to find another way and keep the worker thread loading.

hi,

[DMD]

Today I replaced my old video card (ATI X1600) with HD5750, and files with VC-1 and AVC are automatically enabled in DXVA.

http://www.allfreeportal.com/imghost/images/251775Senza titulo-2.png (http://allfreeportal.com)


The problem is that I can not disable the DXVA, for testing with ffdshow, I also tried to unregister the MPC Video decoder, but nothing happens, MPC video decoder seems to prevail throughout

Can you help me how to disable DXVA?

Thanks

that problem wont be fixed until you see a commit specifically mentioning it.
I want to point out that with the new HD5750 video card (with DXVA) the problem reported in the post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1365131&postcount=11398), the defect disappears and the image is perfect.

auto change fullscreen resolution for different video content is great, but when changing video refresh, screen appears black.
build 1529

hi,
fil

confirmed. the refresh rate does "Autochange" as I have set in the new Fullscreen tab, but the screen goes black and video does not play. i have to reload video or restart MPC.

also, refresh rate only changes if video playback is in the current screen, not if the fullscreen monitor is a different display.

Example: video is 59.97fps. I set auto change to switch to 60hz for that content. I set fullscreen monitor to display2 (my secondary display), which is now @ 24hz. I begin playback in display1, and hit fullscreen. It goes to display2, but does not change display2 to 60hz.

for me it's working with detecting without a black screen, but only the video which has the same values as my desktop runs fluently.

@XPC
Please read Compilation.txt from svn.
You need MinGW GCC to compile release version of mpc-hc.

[XPC]

_XXL thanks for your reply.

I did installed mingw. It is all working for 32 bits but not for 64 bits. This is what I did (from the Wiki page):

1. Download and extract Alexins's Cross-Mingw.GCC Base to c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\.

URL: http://www.xvidvideo.ru/clsid/msys.450x64v2.7z

2. Download and extract Alexins's Cross-Mingw.GCC Core to c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\mingw\.

URL: http://www.xvidvideo.ru/2009-10-22-10-49-14/cat_view/28-cross-mingwgcc-x86x64/160-cross-mingwgcc-45-x86x64.html

3. Edit the "fstab" file in c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\etc\ to specify your mingw path

Add this to it: c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\mingw \mingw (note the tab-space between mingw and \mingw)

4. Make the following changes to Windows' environment variables (in System Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables):

a) Set "c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\mingw\" as the MINGW32 variable (note the backslash at the end!).
b) Set "c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\mingw\" as the MINGW64 variable (note the backslash at the end!).
c) Set "c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\" as the MSYS variable (note the backslash at the end!).
d) Set "c:\mingw_msys\msys.450x64v2\bin\" as the YASM variable (note the backslash at the end!).


The result is that I can get the 32 bits exe file, but for the 64 bits I get several unresolved externals when linking:

4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(mem.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_aligned_malloc
4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(mpc_helper.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_aligned_free
4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(mem.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_aligned_free
4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(mpc_helper.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_aligned_realloc
4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(mem.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __mingw_aligned_realloc
4>MPCVideoDecRU.lib(log.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol snprintf

I checked Compilation.txt and I saw different sources for the mingw GCC software and different steps. Are the above steps correct for 64 bits compilation (from a Windows 7 32 bits machine)? The version I downloaded is mingw_gcc_450_v20100116_2200_x86-x64-experimental_release_(pthreads_2.9.0.0_shared). Should this work for 64 bits?

Thanks
