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

[Casimir666]

I have modify H264 decoder to use SEI messages as Matmaul suggest. Now DXVA decoder works with french TNT-HD (should be used with Haali splitter, because internal splitter still buggy) :

Please let me know if you see broken things before I commit.

@Matmaul : i have put the .patch if you want to have a look on it.

[ranpha]

I have GF 8600GT with 175.16 drivers, will update today to the new drivers.
Tested the L5.1 stream you linked and it's working in software mode, no DXVA.

That video should work with DXVA if latest drivers 178.24 is used.

I have Vista 32, MPC HC 1.1.853 , WMV decoder , madflac, Haali Renderer and can not play m2ts (D. Guilmour 'Remember the night') with VC-1 interlaced video 1080i@60 and PCM audio. The same with C. Dion 'A new day'.
I remuxed everything in mkv transcoding audio in Flac but the issue is still here.
Could you help :thanks:
Same here using:
ati 3800, haali splitter, ac3filter, MPC HC 1.1.867, .m2ts file with VC-1 1080i@29.970fps and dts sound. When playing using vc-1 dxva i just get a black screen, using vc-1 without dxva i get a grey screen with some distortion...

Try running your m2ts through eac3to and remove the pulldown flags and then put the audio and video in an MKV container and then try it.

Thanks, it works better for the interlacing but doesn't take the good aspect ratio ( 16:9 ) and doesn't play very well.

Don't know if that can help but here is a little .ts file from ARTE HD (french TNT-HD 1044*1080 16:9) that play correct under dvbviewer ( Dxva and not), VLC and with mplayer and under MPC-HC with haali ts splitter, pdvd 8 and ffdshow have correct aspect ratio but not MPC-HC internal h264 decoder ( dxva or not ) .

Same result... just like when using the m2ts i get a black screen...

[ramonchin]

The tv levels brightness issue is not a driver issue. The renderer is simply fucking up doing the colour space conversion. Either pass RGB24/32 to the renderer (means the decoder would have done the colour space conversion correctly .. ) or use a different renderer.

Hi!

How can I pass RGB24/32 to the renderer? When I watch HD movies, faces look too orange-red. It happens with both CoreAVC and Cyberlink H264 (DXVA checked). Perhaps that's a color space problem...

It's not so noticeable when I watch mpeg-2 videos.

Under VMR9, all movies show natural color, but DVBviewer has interlacing problems with this renderer.

I've a HTPC with an ATI 3850, connected throught DVI-HDMI cable. It's using EVR under Vista 32bits.

Thanks.

Sounds like a corrupt stream.

[the6thday]

Sounds like a corrupt stream.
Well then all blu-rays using interlaced vc-1 must be corrupted ;)...

Yes, I have updated to 178.24 and it works in dxva. I was testing the drivers detection code added by Matmaul at his request...

LOL, sorry, I thought you were having issues just with that one. I should've read more closely. That's a shame.

I removed pulldown flags and then put the audio and video in an MKV container - the issue is still here.
The problem is VC-1 interlaced video?
How can I use in MPC HC external VC-1 decoder (not WMV!)?

Interlaced VC1 is not supported yet by DXVA decoder.

in coreavc, just disable all output types, except RGB32

I'm having same problem as with 1.1.604. Which is : H.264 EVO files plays few frames forward, then jumps back. And H.264 EVO converted to MKV plays nice on 1.1.604. But its jumpy on your new version. Not as EVO but still jumpy.

Your version and MKV: 3 frames forward, 1 back
1.1.604 and MKV : good
Your version and EVO: 2 forward, 1 back
1.1.604 and EVO: 2 forward, 1 back

so is it working in DXVA mode after drivers update ?

[nlnl]

Interlaced VC1 is not supported yet by DXVA decoder.

Do you mean internal MPC HC decoder?
But I use WMV decoder (Vista 32)! Does WMV support VC-1 interlaced video?

[haxor2099]

is the video site down? no idea why but cant download latest version.

[ranpha]

so is it working in DXVA mode after drivers update ?

With 9800GT and Vista 64-bit SP1 and your test build 858 (not xvidvideo.ru build).
driver 177.79 - your stream is in software mode.
driver 178.24 - the stream plays in DXVA mode.

[Casimir666]

But I use WMV decoder (Vista 32)! Does WMV support VC-1 interlaced video?

Yes I mean internal decoder. And yes Microsoft WMV decoder can play interlaced video.

[nlnl]

Yes I mean internal decoder. And yes Microsoft WMV decoder can play interlaced video.
I tried interlaced VC-1 video 1080i@29 (mkv, m2ts) using Microsoft WMV decoder + Haali or internal splitter +Haali or EVR renderers.
Something is wrong with frame rate (the motion is slow):helpful:!

[ramonchin]

in coreavc, just disable all output types, except RGB32

But, Aren't almost all x264 matroskas and HD channels YV12?

As I said, faces look too saturated using EVR (on HD overall). On the other hand, VMR9 look very natural colors.

Thanks.

[mashles]

I am finding that DXVA only works when I load a video from locally attached disks. If i load from my NAS (the exact same video and same settings), DXVA is disabled. Apologies if this has been mentioned before, I searched the thread but couldnt find anything.


No-one got any ideas on this?

[Shinigami-Sama]

mount the NAS share as a network drive and try again?

yes
but to display video you need to convert it to RGB24/32
you are just telling coreavc to do that conversion for you, instead of getting the video renderer to do it.

[yesgrey]

Yes. I have already confirmed it in my previous post (#4726).

[bmnot]

Why is VC1 in m2ts so choppy?!?! Remuxed to mkv it's fine, so it's not a bitrate/cpu issue.

Same here ! It's the internal splitter in my opinion :helpful:

PS Tested on Intel G35 G965 and ati HD 4670 graphics !

[haxor2099]

btw, I still havent got any answer of whats going on with xvidvideo.ru
it was completely offline a few ago... (pinged but seemed it had firewall on or http server down)
then I now get this:

This IP address is shared. For access to the web site which you look for, enter its address instead of its IP.

For questions or problems please contact the server administrator.

anyone else has this problem?

[boyumeow]

Yup, looks like xvidvideo.ru is having some problems, I m getting the same message as U. Maybe we will just wait, thanks.

[carnage_pl]

I asked alexins about website. It's his aswer : "I do a transfer the web site on a home server, soon he will work again. "

[Momber]

Those issues you mention sound very familiar to me with a MSI HD2600pro agp on xp, but on vista I have no such problems at all (with dxva compatible movies that is).
Would be great it it worked similar in XP!
I agree 100% - same trouble here under XP (not so under Vista). ATi 3650 Catalyst 8.10.

agp version?
I can't get 8.10 to install for my 3650..

agp version?
Nope. PCI Express.

Changes log (http://www.xvidvideo.ru/content/view/7/17/)

Disable the "Display Stats" and "Remaining Time" menu options when the OSD is turned off; Fixed : better detection of top first/bottom first using SEI messages; Updated French translation, cleanup in "TODO" comments; Fixed : minidump not working on Windows XP; Fixed : invalid project setting for mpciconlib in x64; Updated Turkish translation: all strings checked and corrected; Updated Hungarian translation; Update KOREAN translation.

[STaRGaZeR]

@clsid

Can you please reenable the "Display Stats" option when OSD is turned off?

[cweb]

Ok version 446 is buggy.. when I do fast seeking it crashes with this error. I still had version 422 on my system and it does not crash.. will try version before 446 and see what happens.

I'm getting a very similar error now. "an unhandled win32 exception occurred in mplayerc.exe [3904]", with svn 875..

Any ideas? Is it because I recently installed Visual Studio 2008?

[clsid]

@clsid

Can you please reenable the "Display Stats" option when OSD is turned off?
Doesn't it depend on the OSD? If so, does it depend on a certain renderer?

The idea was to disable the menu option in situations were nothing happens when it gets enabled.

[cweb]

I found a post which said to run drwtsn32 -i from the command line. It stopped the JIT running but mediaplayerclassic still bombs out with ModName: d3d9.dll, if this could be of more help..

[cweb]

Solved the problem. Did a registry cleanup with my ashampoo winoptimizer and then rebooted. Now mpc works as usual..
Well as long as it's working, no problem..

[STaRGaZeR]

At least not with EVR Custom, I've been using it with OSD disabled for a long time. The remaining time option does nothing, so it can be disabled with no problems.

EDIT: VMR9 Renderless is fine too. So I guess it's not OSD dependant.

[clsid]

It actually only works for VMR-9 renderless and EVR CP in combination with "3D surfaces".

[mashles]

It is mounted. Really can't think of anything that would stop it working :/

Exactly. Should be OK now.

[Shinigami-Sama]

I could see it failing with UNC names but not with a mount
I'll try it out when I get home
