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

[XhmikosR]

Does the same happen with the latest ffplay (http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/ffmpeg-latest-mingw32-static.7z)?

[Taurus]

Yes, it still broken with macroblocking errors in the latest ffplay.

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/708/ffplay.png

Same here.

EDIT: ffdshow and internal mp4 decoder show the same corruption = ffmpeg :mad:

[XhmikosR]

Then you will have to wait until it gets fixed in the ffmpeg.

[Dark Shikari]

Sample please? I can't replicate it in ffmpeg with any set of CPU flags.

[Vincent Vega]

is it possible to get mpc hc x86 and x64 NOT to share registry settings when both are installed on x64 OS (Vista)? or the only option is using .ini file for one of them?

[Aleksoid1978]

No. Only if one of them store setting in .ini file.

[Taurus]

Sample please? I can't replicate it in ffmpeg with any set of CPU flags.

I happens with -any- h264 encoded file I've tested.
In all possible containers, all known splitters, MPC builtin, Haali, Solveigh, etc.

Former ffdshow's and MPC's are doing all right.

Just to mention:
WinXP 32bit Pro, newest DirectX Update.

Edit: ffmpeg in ffdshow rev3485 is the last working one, dont know which MPC ver is last known good.
Just to make it clear: This happens only on AMD Athlon XPs (old fishbones for webbrowsing).
My Intel Duos and Quads are doing all right.

[edigee]

The bug only happens on Athlon XP. It does not happen on other PCs with more modern CPUs like Core 2 Duo/Quad or Core i3/5/7. And it happens with almost all the H.264 videos I've tested.

It is for sure related to the lack of SSE2 implementation in Athlon XP and the ffmpeg is not updated properly(something went wrong from the 2080->2088)
Try to use the ffdshow tryouts project versions from here:
http://www.xvidvideo.ru/ffdshow-tryouts-project-x86-x64/

[clsid]

It has nothing to do with the lack of SSE2 stuff. If anything is wrong it is because of a bug in the recently added MMX(2) code.

Dark Shikari might have already fixed it, because ffdshow + latest FFmpeg updates works fine on my ancient Athlon Thunderbird.

[Aleksoid1978]

Yes, it still broken with macroblocking errors in the latest ffplay.

check on this test build - http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Dist/mpc-hc_h264.test.7z

[rahzel]

Anyone know why the skip button goes to the next video file in the folder, rather than skip to the next chapter? Is this configurable?

[namaiki]

It will go to the next chapter first if there are chapters, unless the above refers to a bug. Can be disabled via view/Options/tweaks/tick don't use search

[Taurus]

check on this test build - http://aleksoid.tosei.ru/Dist/mpc-hc_h264.test.7z
Sorry, same blocking/corruption on my side.
Thanks for your efforts :thanks:

[clsid]

Does it also happen if you disable SSE in ffdshow? If yes, what if you also disable MMX and MMXext?

[sneaker_ger]

I tried deactivating them, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly. I couldn't get the artifacts to disappear. (Athlon XP)

[clsid]

Restart the player after changing the settings. Then you should see the grey checkmarks disappear.

[sneaker_ger]

Ah, thought reloading the file would be enough. Now all the grey marks are gone but it didn't change anything, still artifacts.

[gametiger]

I'm using a HD5750 and ffdshow's DXVA decoder (which is the same as MPC-HC's right?) and I'm getting artefacts with SD H.264 (DXVA). AFAIK this is a bug of my HD5xxx (drivers?), is there any way to circumvent this? Like, use ffdshow (standard video dec.) for SD and the DXVA one for HD?

TIA!

Try to use the Cyberlink H264 decoder and the ArcSoft H264 decoder from HD pack 2.4 or 2.3
http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=162
but AFAIK this is a driver's bug starting with 10.3 ,I guess.

You can create an simply new profile in FFDShow DXVA decoder.

Hi guys,

I'have been making some trials with TMT2. 134 with MPC-HC.
I'm told it has been working with seven starting from 130.
What i am trying to do is to get unmolested decoded (to PCM) stream via Arcsoft HD audio decoder over reclock.
I've done it when i open a recorded m2ts or open the main m2ts on original Blu disk. ( i have to select everytime 5.1 manually on Arcsoft HD decoder properties page but it's normal.)
But i'm not able to open a BD using file > open DVD option.
Is this related with MPC-HC uses MS's BDNavigator?
And this is not compatible with Arcsoft filters?

PS:

internal filters:
Mpeg/ps_ts unselected.

external filters:
arcsoft demux, arcsoft hd audio decoder and arcsoft video decoder have been selected as default.

EDIT: reading file brings arcsoft demuxer instead of BD navigator.

Try enable internal MPEG Splitter.

[rica]

Try enable internal MPEG Splitter.

I've already done it: enabled internal mpeg splitter and removed arcsoft demuxer.
It didn't work.

And, you can also tick Disable DXVA for SD in MPC Decoder properties.

@GTPVHD and Taurus: try these (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=3f33c77c2cf9ce25ab1eab3e9fa335ca540944dcb8da1314) builds and report back which one works.

Thanks for the testing, it should be fixed in r2091 (thanks to Dark_Shikari for the quick fix).

[gametiger]

Okay, I know how to add a new profile but what else do I have to do? Thanks.

[Snowknight26]

Any reason why MPC Video Decoder won't fallback to RGB32 if a YV12 connection can't be made?

[namaiki]

Because it doesn't convert to RGB? Unless you're suggesting that RGB32 support be added.

Sorry, I did not have the time to test your builds on mediafire, and now they are gone:mad:.
But from my experience with ffdshow rev3495 everything should be ok again (no more black macroblocking).
Thanks to Dark and all in help.

[sneaker_ger]

Yes, I can confirm that. No more problems with neither ffdshow nor ffmpeg and AthlonXP.

[FDisk80]

So, MPC-HC opening RAR files. Ever going to happen?

[oddball]

Hi. I don't know what is causing this but if I playback anything that is high@L5.1 with lots of reframes (More than 8 I think) and possibly with b-pyramid I get corruption at various points in the video when using DXVA internally or CUDA using CoreAVC. Turning back to CPU only decoding fixes it. I have a Nvidia G210 and the last driver release.

[crewxp]

I have audio but no Video on certain .mov files. It's from a Tutorial DVD I have. The player it comes with plays the mov files fine, but it's a really dumb video player. If I miss a concept, you have to press rewind... and it rewinds the entire hour long video tutorial.

I downloaded VLC because hpc-hc didnt work with it. When I run it through mpc, it does the same thing though.

Is there some setting I need to enable?

It says for Video Codec in vlc:
Codec: SVQ-3 (Sorenson Video v3) (SVQ3)
Resolution: 800x600
Frame rate: 15

Example File: http://www.crewxp.com/example.mov (3mb)

[Guest]

Just pause and then drag the slider back on the timeline, then play. I did that with VLC but the video won't open in MPC for me.

What version of CoreAVC? Which Forceware driver exactly? Can you post up a sample video that gives corruption?

[Inspector.Gadget]

crewxp - try installing QT Lite. I haven't found anything ffmpeg-based that will play your file with video, remuxed to any common valid container.

[crewxp]

yeah i know.. it's really weird.

I tried installing QT Lite, it asked me to uninstall QuickTime. I did. But I'm not sure what to do now. Do I just load up mpc-hc again or windows media player? I tried both but still same result. Actually in wmp, it crashed before. Now it loads but all audio tracks (multiple languages) play at once. Still no video

:/

[clsid]

You need to use MPC. WMP is not capable of using QT Lite, at least not without additional filters.

[crewxp]

okay thanks. Is there a setting I need to have checked or enabled, or should it automatically use it?

[clsid]

It goes automatic.

[bozek]

Ticket #341 bump - trying to watch some holiday videos...

[oddball]

What version of CoreAVC? Which Forceware driver exactly? Can you post up a sample video that gives corruption?

Forceware 257.21 but it does it with older versions.
MPC HC any version.
CoreAVC 2.0

I will try to provide a sample if I can find a bit that does it and extract it.

EDIT: Here you go. I hope this works.

64bit build 2099 crashes while trying to play video from http://www.opera.com/portal/upgrade/ .

Play fine with DXVA.

[adamhj]

it seems mpc-hc can only load external vsfilter(directvobsub) when renderer is set to system default in windows 7, if renderer is set to any other,directvobsub is not loaded

both 1.3.1249 and r2099 have this problem. 1.2.908 can load directvobsub correctly with most renderers(i didn't test them all but at least it works with vmr9 rendless/evr)

the system is windows 7 x64 with ms dtv-dvd video/audio decoder disabled by win7dsfiltertweaker, external vsfilter comes from mpc-hc standalone filter r2099, decoder is ffdshow tryout rev3495_20100702_clsid, using Haali's Matroska Splitter(20100520), and i also tried mpc-hc internal mkv splitter and the problem still exists. i test both mkv embedded subtitle and external subtitle and result are same. rendering the same file in graphstudio loads directvobsub correctly with system default renderer, and i can manually replace it with evr and it plays with no problem

by the way, because vsfilter is not loaded, the subtitle pin is connected to ffdshow. this does not happen when i play the same file with graphstudio

all mpc-hc and filters mentioned above is 32 bit version, i didnt test x64 version

[namaiki]

You need to add DirectVobSub(autoloading version) as Preferred in External Filters.

[sneaker_ger]

Try disabling the internal subtitle renderer by unchecking "Auto-load subtitles" under "Options">"Playback".
