Added VFR support to the VSFilter AviSynth filter. Patch by nielsm;
What this means, how it works? Some options added to the filter call function?

If this is the same one that jfs wrote, it allows directly applying subtitles to false-CFR (VFR with AssumeFPS) videos without transforming the timestamps on the script. Instead, it calculates the frame-timestamp relationship from a timecodes file. See this post on a random piracy board (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?p=2134131#post2134131) where it was announced.

Ohh, I just realized that nielsm is a jfs' nickname on sourceforge, so probably this is it. Thanks.

However this is strange why this code suddenly appeared here... I hopes he not gives up on his own subtitles rendering engine...

Its an old patch.

Yes, it has been in guliverkli2 with compiled builds on xvidvideo.ru for a long time now. I also didn't notice that it hasn't been in mpc-hc.

Theora got broken somewhere between rev 1613 and 1623 = video it's playing accelerated

Why are people still using Theora?:p Maybe it will get fixed in the next ffmpeg update. Open a ticket at the trac and one of the devs might take a look at it.

I don't know :p !

But if my guess it's correct and the problem it's from the ffmpeg update it could be more than just Theora affected :confused:

Why?

[Lukas V.]

Hi.

Is it possible that H.264 1080p 4RF limit DXVA was exceeded on ATI cards?

May be more RF was declared in stream, but was not used?
More RF was used, but only in small range? RF buffer was enough.
Playing with hidden problems, but without visual errors?

I have no other rational explanation.


File test_hd_9refs_high_l5.1.mp4 was MPC HC played using DXVA without visualy errors and other prepared videos (with MeGUI) was succesfully too (for example 14RF/14Mbps).

Thanks for answers.

So the problem it's not from the ffmpeg update ?

[clsid]

MPC uses an older version of the ffmpeg code. So the problem can very well be in ffmpeg.

[Schrade]

Does MPC-HC support a Tuner settings page for Analog TV Tuner cards? I see there is a Tuner Scan hotkey available but that seems to only be related to the Digital tuner stuff.

Basically, what I want is a way to change channels in MPC-HC while viewing an Analog TV Tuner's input. By the way, this is for an ATI TV Wonder HD 650 Combo.

(It's currently being used in Analog mode)

[X-Dron]

Наш ответ Чемберлену.(Russian humor)
For those guys working on fullscreen options, I beg of you to improve this, to read the frame rate of the content, not from the media info, but from whatever is input from external filters.
Until then, it is not usable if anything like de-interlacing is used, or if frame rate changes are introduced by external filters. I don't think it should be difficult as this frame rate is already used and displayed by the renderers obviously.

My answer is here (http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=5&topic=32450&start=1046)(second post). But unfortunately only in Russian.
I'm sorry, but I do not have the time and my English is not so good.
Please, somebody who understand Russian, translate it for all.

[mark0077]

Thanks for the reply x-dron. Its very detailed and thanks for taking the time to look into it. It will be great to see it in a future release. Unfortunately for the moment I must use reclocks change display rate ability as it takes the actual playback rate of the content after filters such as de-interlacers etc. It works but is just not as easy to setup as the mpc-hc options would be :)

Yes ,it is not working for you because 2600Xt has UVD and HD4550 has UVD 2.2 .

[tetsuo55]

MPC uses an older version of the ffmpeg code. So the problem can very well be in ffmpeg.We should be completely in sync with ffdshow now.
This still is not right, we should start over from a clean ffmpeg git export.

Is MPC-HC going to be able to play 1.0 LPCM sometime this century?Do you mean this ticket? http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/71

Best chances for getting this fixed soon is getting someone to write a patch.

Also updating the ticket with anything you can think of based on the issue reporting page could help too.

[Schrade]

Is there a hidden command line switch to open Device?

It'd be nice to make it so you don't have to do Control+V to connect to the Tuner/Capture card.

I'm sorry, but the main conclusion from the written:
All methods for detecting the FPS are passive. All have their advantages and disadvantages. The methods used in the autochange monitor mode I consider most appropriate. The autochange should be written in Reclock for their correct act in combination.
This feature was written primarily for the TV connected via HDMI. First it was called AutoHDMI. But unfortunately this is not your case.

[somy]

Hi X-Dron,

I have a problem WRT auto refresh rate changer. Recently I've change my graphics card to ATI HD5770, and auto refresh changer doesn't work for me any more. When MPC tries to change the refresh rate, it disconnect my TV first and then re-connect to my TV (TV shows no sing), and it takes up to 10 seconds to change the refresh rate which crashes MPC-HC since it couldn't find the screen. Do you think it's a driver issue or it's something need special coding for HD5xxx graphics card? Thanks!

[edigee]

Does anyone else have problems with sub. subtitles( MicroDVD or Sub Viewer)? On the latest 3 builds of MPC_HC sub. subtiles are displayed weird during playback. I mean, there are the right lines but also random lines appear from time to time.

[Underground78]

Yes ,it is not working for you because 2600Xt has UVD and HD4550 has UVD 2.2 .

Yes, that's why I've asked him to test. :)

Good to know it works with recent ATI graphic cards !

About ticket #77 (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mpc-hc/ticket/77) "[MPEG4] mod16 resolution not supported with all renderers", should we read "mod16 resolution" or "non mod16 resolution" ? And is [MPEG4] MPEG4 ASP or H264 or both ?

I've another bug to report which may be the same than this one so I want to be sure ...

No idea ?

[nitec]

MPC-HC internal ffmpeg h264 decoder don't use more than %50-60 of CPU and start skipping frames but ffdshow plays file smoothly (%70-85 CPU usage). Anyone can test a heavy 1080 h264 video (like Planet Earth - From Pole to Pole birds scene) and confirm?

There is no special coding for graphics card.
Try this:
Uncheck "Use autochange", apply settings and restart programm.
This will reset autochange settings to default.
Check "Use autochange" and set wished settings.

Back on the subject, perhaps a few post ago I expressed myself badly.

With inquiries concerning the Bluray, I ask if you can enable subtitles labor.
Are those subtitles that are activated only when the scene requires it, or when you see a sign in another language, and after a while they disappear.
This fact is very important to understand the dialogue in some scenes that would otherwise remain without meaning

This is the example of Bluray Angels and Demons seen with PowerDVD9 in Italian

http://www.allfreeportal.com/imghost/thumbs/518494Ridimensiona diSenza titulo-2.PNG ('http://www.allfreeportal.com/imghost/images/518494Ridimensiona diSenza titulo-2.PNG')

Just wondering if there is a system, or another codec to activate these subtitles.

THANKS

I just installed CoreAVC for live TV (within MediaPortal).

For my other video files I use MPC-MC with ffdshow for pretty much every type of video (including H.264).

The weird thing is, since I installed CoreAVC, I can't play any H.264 videos in MPC-HC anymore. The Filters context menu shows all the filters it showed before (Default DirectSound Device, Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter), ffdshow Audio Decoder and ffdshow Video Decoder).
MPC-HC says "Playing" in the status bar, but it doesn't actually play anything - the video frame just stays black and @ 00:00:00.

When I unregister the CoreAVC decoder filter, everything plays fine again.

Does anyone know what's causing this? I would just get rid of CoreAVC, but I need it for live TV, nothing else seems to work :/


Thanks in advance!


PS: I'm on Windows 7 x64. Latest SVN builds of MPC-HC and ffdshow.

Question about the full screen...

If I have Movie A at 23.976 and Movie B at 24, running on Windows 7, can I auto switch the movies correctly? I see that for Vista and above it only allows 1 specific resolution. Is that the case or am I missing something?

[Razoola]

I have an issue with DXVA on my GT240. When I play a video sometimes there is a small glitch which shows at the bottom of the picture (bottom tenth of the picture is blank for one frame). This happens both with MPC-HC and ffdshow when using EVR. I have found that using the Haali render instead fixes the issue.

I just wondered if anyone else has seen this issue?

Yes, you can.
Settings for Vista and above are additional to the basic.
They have a higher priority and a narrow allowable range of frequencies.

OK.. makes sense... but wouldnt you say that the fine grained changes should have a higher priority?

when I get home I will play with them...

Hi, i think i found bug concerning VC-1 DXVA playback in MPC HC.
In recent versions of player, when opening vc-1 file, video just stops at the beginning with black screen. Nothing is played. It doesnt depend on container, m2ts, wmv, whatever. After some investigation, the problem exists only with EVR CP. Any other renderer works fine with acceleration. I downloaded some versions of player and found that: build 1378 and down play fine with dxva/EVR CP but 1389 and up cannot play.
My system is ATI 3450 with cat 10.2 WIndows XP SP3 x86

I have DVB-T USB stick, which works just fine with Windows Media Player. I'd love to use it in MPC-HC, but it can't detect any channels.
I also have a DVB-T USB stick which is working fine with other apps like DVB Viewer, ProgDVB and VLC but I can't get any channel in MPC-HC.

What do you have in "Tuner Scan" ? In my case, it stays blank, whereas I have configured as you (except it is Winfast tuner), Underground78.
Same here.

Any suggestions are welcome.

[sabret00the]

I would like to see greater Windows 7 support. WMP12 has got everything right, from the transparency behind the controls, to the updated icons to to the fact that you can play/forward/pause/stop all from the task bar. I moved over to MPC because I felt that WMP was dated and didn't conform with the current needs of a media centric user, however now I'm starting to feel that about MPC. As much as it may be frowned upon, it's time to bring the GUI into the 21st century.
