Can translation be implemented into mplayerc in order to not download standalone files?

And againg question about lock-back buffer. For what is that option and should I enable it?

[Casimir666]

As for the pin info, that was not exactly what I was looking for. I am looking for what it expects in case of VC-1 and H.264. ffdshow for example expects an MP4/AVC header in case of H.264. If you feed it with H.264 PES, it simply crashes. So what exactly does a demuxer has to provide on its video pin in case of VC-1 and H.264 for the MPC Video Decoder?
This filter expect complete frame, so parser have to glue together PES before feeding MPCVideoDec (same for ffdshow).

:confused: What do you mean?

And againg question about lock-back buffer. For what is that option and should I enable it?

Thanks. I didn't notice the answer earlier.
Now to change the language You need to download files from sourceforge with translation, have it with mplayerc. exe in the same folder and then You can change language.
Can downloading files with translation be avoided?

Just activate all ADPCM decoding possibilities in the ffdshow audio configuration and it will work


That does not do anything because MPC-HC does not know that it is ADPCM. Here is the message from MPC-HC:
The following pin failed to find a connectable filter:

[lexor]

sup everyone, I was just reading the "known issues" section of the OP and while all but one item on that list doesn't affect me in any way, I was wondering if there is more info regarding the first item. that is:
"It looks like MPC-HC incorrectly sends the quantization matrix in raster-scan order, whereas the DXVA spec mentions that it should be sent in zig-zag scan order."

Feeding a matrix in the wrong order seems to be a major no-no, but the playback is fine (far as I can tell) and the item has been on the list for so long, it doesn't look like devs think it's very important. Is it because order doesn't matter for flat matrix and since MPC-HC doesn't support custom matrices the whole thing is a non-issue?

[ADude]

{324D4451-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} equals QDM2. So enable that in ffdshow.

Ha ! clsid finds the clsid. :D

That worked (none of the ADPCM's worked even though Mediainfo thinks it is "ADPCM").

Thanks !

This filter expect complete frame, so parser have to glue together PES before feeding MPCVideoDec (same for ffdshow).

I see. I actually meant ES, not PES. Contained PTS are converted to DirectShow-PTS and presented via the IMediaSample-Interface.

[FallenAngel]

Can somebody compile the MPCVideoDecoder filter r525+ please?
Earlier versions are not good for my 8800GT :p

Thanks
Could someone fill my request, please?

I apologize for this, I usually don't like to bother people so I won't do this again I swear! :)

Thank you for your help.

[Bluestraw]

Can someone please tell me if there are plans to include VC1 interlaced support in the future? Since MS's decoder doesn't handle such content properly, and Cyberlink's decoder doesn't work outside PDVD, this is the one missing link to me to make MPC compatible with all HD content. Unless I'm missing some way to do it already?!

Do you have a test file for that? There is something I wanna try.

[marc99]

It's possible to use combination: Vista+EVR+DXVA+WMVideo Decoder DMO?

[Bluestraw]

Do you have a test file for that? There is something I wanna try.Sure, will upload a sample later.

[Bluestraw]

It's possible to use combination: Vista+EVR+DXVA+WMVideo Decoder DMO?Yes, that combination is fine, but the WMVideo Decoder doesn't handle interlaced content properly, so it's of no use in this case.

[Bluestraw]

Sure, will upload a sample later.Here's a sample - doesn't play right in the MS WM decoder, and doesn't even play at all in the internal MPC one:

[Casimir666]

I see. I actually meant ES, not PES. Contained PTS are converted to DirectShow-PTS and presented via the IMediaSample-Interface.
PTS is specific to Mpeg stream, and are translate to Reference_time by parser. MpcVideoDec use reference_time set in the IMediaSample it receive

Support for H264 and VC1 interlaced stream is on todo list for DXVA. Software decoding of interlaced VC1 is not supported by ffmpeg for the moment.

[Bluestraw]

Support for H264 and VC1 interlaced stream is on todo list for DXVA. Software decoding of interlaced VC1 is not supported by ffmpeg for the moment.DXVA works for me :) Thanks! Since there is currently no alternative in MPC for interlaced VC1 I vote for VC1 before H264 ;)

can this be included in the todo list for MPC HC please ?
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1139181#post1139181

it will be really great if all application commands are enabled properly, so then any standard remote control can be used to control MPC HC

Regarding the interlacing, I uploaded some interlaced samples to test some pages above.

[Mercury_22]

Can someone do something so MPC-HC x64 can be (differentiate from the MPC-HC x86) / in the open with menu ?! (Maybe rename mplayerc.exe to mplayerc64.exe, and chanage the caption from Media Player Classic - Homecinema to Media Player Classic - Homecinema (64-bit) )
Let's not do the same mistake that Micro$.. did with WMP x64 & WMP x86 on 64-bit OS !
I know this are simple things that can be changed by everyone for himself but I think it will be more useful to be THE SAME FOR EVERYBODY who uses the 64-bit version of MPC-HC .
Am I WRONG ? Isn't this NECESSARY / useful (for 64-bit OS users) ?

And another thing : can someone improve the internal filters for OGG and MPEG PS/TS/PVA so we don't need Haali's Media Splitter to play TS and OGG files (Especially in the 64-bit version where we CAN'T use Haali's Media Splitter )? Since Haali's "Core parser library
This is the core library that is used in the splitter and utilities, it's written in plain C and is higly portable. The library source is available upon request. Please mail mike@haali.net. " (http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/)

[Leak]

Unless Haali is willing to release the core parser library under the GPL MPC can't incorporate the code.

Also, from the wording "available upon request" it doesn't look like Haali would want the code to show up in a public place (read: MPC HC SVN repository), so I'd say it's right out...

Support for H264 and VC1 interlaced stream is on todo list for DXVA.

r536 seems to work with interlaced content. However no deinterlacing within GPU is applied (VMR deinterlacing/DirectShow deinterlacing/hardware deinterlacing or whatever you want to call it). Tried with 'VMR9 Windowed' and 'VMR9 Renderless'.

Tested with a Radeon HD 3650. Just replaced my 8600 GTS.

Also tried latest 'MPC Video Decoder' (MPCVideoDec_541_x86) provided some posts above. Picture stayed black with interlaced content (used Haali as demuxer).

[lexor]

Hi guys, does DXVA acceleration require the image to have dimensions that are a multiple of 16? I don't see this requirement in any of the warnings about DXVA in any thread, but I can't think of any other reason for getting weird blocking with DXVA1 on ATI HD2600 (tried official from March, 523 and 536 builds, don't have any other).

bows to MatMaul :thanks:

it will play now EVERYTHING with DXVA that uses H264. and also seeking does work.

got some strange macroblocking on a specific video (but it also happens with the cyberlink decoder on that one, the one that encoded it says it works perfect with ATI ) sample: here (http://rapidshare.com/files/119904407/_BakaWolf__AIR_01.BD-720p_H.264_DD5.1__-001.mkv)

also it hangs after 2 sec on a other SD video (SD with 16 ref frames is still DXVA compliant?):

normally yes this stream is compliant with level 3.1 but it seems that DXVA have problems with refs > 11 at any resolution...

@everybody please test SD decoding and confirm that you are limited to 11 refs. if so we will adapt the dxva compatibility check.

conclusion: i have a lot other SD videos with ref frames > 11 that wont play (DXVA kicks in everytime)

[MatMaul]

seems to confirm the 11 refs limit

on the other hand, cyberlink's decoder 7.x will decode them (only problem is macroblocking on the file with ref frames = 16)

hey guys i can't get H.264 bitstreaming to work on my 8400GS G98 core. VC-1 does work though! i don't really know much but i'm guessing it has something to do with not having NV12 listed for DXVA2. anyone have any ideas on what i can do?

it seems you have Vista. H264 DXVA should work without problems. what problems do you have more exactly? the files dont play, or they play but without DXVA?
try to drag'ndrop a videofile over the interface of the DXVAChecker, then rightclick on the results in red (you'll have to register MPCVideoDec.ax www.tosei.ru/isoft/MPCVideoDec_541_x86.7z manual) and "Play in Video using ...."

yes Vista SP1. the problem is no DXVA, MPC HC plays them in software mode, which my little CPU can't handle. :p

i registered MPCVideoDec.ax and it does not pop up when i drag over a h264 file. it does when i try with a vc-1 file though.

[gngn]

it doesnt pop up for me either at the moment (didnt use it for some time now, but it did function. weird )
playing in software mode? maybe you have a filter inbetween (VSFilter or something else) and this will cancel DXVA, please read the instructions here: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/DXVASupport.html

[ohropax]

I can confirm that r546 is a huge step forward. Finally mpc-hc internal decoder makes the 'right' decisions about DXVA. I have not checked the seeking problem yet but will do so asap. However there are at least two long outstanding issues that i would appreciate being fixed:

1. contrary to cyberlink decoder mpc-hc does not use hardware accelerated deinterlacing. Others pointed that out already earlier in this thread.

But more important to me is:

2. some videos cannot be played with overlay output but can be played with vmr7windowed output. this problem does not appear when using cyberlinks demuxer and decoder chain. In fact all my movies can be played back with vmr7windowed but i am experiencing a less visually appealing playback compared to overlay output (maybe vmr7windowed playback is done without vsync, dont know). Therefore i prefer overlay on my machine (XP SP3, NVidia GPU). Pin info below.

Maybe the above is enough in order to pinpoint the problem. But in the meantime i will try to narrow down what part is triggering the problem by comparing cyberlink and mpc playback chains.

and finally:

3. on my system colors are still a little bit washed out and black appears as dark grey. But somtimes when seeking or pausing a single frame is displayed with correct black level (to my eyes). However i cannot trigger this 'correctness flash' right now. hmm.

Hi guys, does DXVA acceleration require the image to have dimensions that are a multiple of 16? I don't see this requirement in any of the warnings about DXVA in any thread, but I can't think of any other reason for getting weird blocking with DXVA1 on ATI HD2600 (tried official from March, 523 and 536 builds, don't have any other).

mod16 is mandatory

mod16 is mandatory
I don't think so...
if the video is not mod16 the encoder will pad the borders to have a mod16 video and then put some flag inside the bitstream to say to the decoder "please crop after decoding".

for example 1080 is not mod16 and most of the HD content (should I say bluray :P ?) are 1920*1080 ;) so if you followed what I've said, the real size of the encoded video is 1088 and it is cropped to 1080 at playback

so lexor please provide a sample (and test with cyberlink ^^)

Is it possible to integrate DXVA-support into FFDShow? This way people using other mediaplayers than MPC-HC can also benefit from this.
