DGAVCDecNV 1.0.13: GPU decoding on Nvidia

[rica]

Awaiting, thanks.

[Guest]

OK, the MKV test version is back on the road:

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/dgavcdecnv1011test.zip

Please provide test streams with your problem reports.

I added some pop-up messages to notify you of possible problem conditions. Please let me know if you see any of them.

What is it about the server that bugs you?


When I load my avs script into vdubmod (I have to have to server running). Say I make frame cuts, then close the file and then reopen it to have it open honoring the cuts. CUVIDServer will keep frames in memory.. So, if there was a video frame (non-black) in memory, than if I start to encode from there, that frame, even if not included with the cuts that I made; will be part of the final encode. Don't know why it does that, but it does it every time.

The only way around this that I know of is to make cuts in vdubmod, close the app, close cuvidserver, reopen the server, then vdubmod, load the avs and then it's good. I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but it happens to me everytime.

[Guest]

Say I make frame cuts, then close the file and then reopen it to have it open honoring the cuts. I don't use VirtualDubMod so I ask this: Why do you have to close and re-open the file? How do you close it?

When you exit VDM, the filter gets deinstantiated, which should clear the CUVID server. I don't know what happens if you just do File/Close video file. If VDM doesn't deinstantiate the source filter, then there can be trouble.

[Guest]

I've updated the Nvidia Development dialog to cover the period of the VC1 development and the ongoing MKV support.

The updated material starts here:

Perhaps "cuts" wasn't the best way in which to describe it. When I make trims would be more appropriate. Then, when the trims are saved into the avs file, then I re-open the file so that the script will load with the applicable trims. When this happens, if there was a video frame that was viewed with the server running, then even though I load the script again with the appropriate trims, that video frame is stuck in memory somehow and it will actually encode into the video even if that particular frame is outside of the boundary of the trims that were specified.

Does that perhaps explain it better? It makes sense to me, but that obviously does nobody but myself any good.

**edit** If I hit file/close, or just re-open the avs with the trims in it, or if I physically close the application and re-launch it ... this particular anomoly happens each time. I 'have' to exit the cuvid server and relaunch it to clear any frames that it may have in memory.

[Guest]

I guess you are using the AVS script editor?

You should tell me exactly what menu items you select, etc., as I am not a user of that and when you say "I re-open the file" that means nothing to me because I don't know what you are actually doing in the program to make that happen.

I also don't know how VDM refreshed the AVS script and whether it deinstantiates the filter. If it isn't deinstantiating it to reload the script then it won't work. I'm willing to work to make third party apps work right with the server, but VDM is abandoned for a long time.

[Guest]

Do you happen to have the CUVID deinterlacer enabled?

Spares cues in this Matroska file. Seeking may be slow.

[Guest]

And is seeking slow?

[rica]

I get this:

http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/6286/neuronmkv01wq2.th.jpg (http://img338.imageshack.us/my.php?image=neuronmkv01wq2.jpg)

with this mkv:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/hsogkj

That is working with TMT and MPC-HC.

The method i used:

On the fly cut from original disc as is with head.exe.
Remux video to mkv with eac3to or GraphStudio. (both files don't work.)

[Guest]

"This" doesn't help me because I cannot see the image through my firewall. Can you give it to me in words?

[Eragon4ever]

"Timecode tracking failure."

[rica]

I put an attachment to my previous post.

[Guest]

Redownload the version. I updated it to fix that yesterday evening.

[Sharc]

And is seeking slow?
Yes, slow.

[rica]

Redownload the version. I updated it to fix that yesterday evening.

OK, i've revized; thanks.

[rica]

:)What is next; it is DGVC1NV's turn?

[Guest]

Patience, my friend. I have to solve a few issues and add audio support first.

[~bT~]

And is seeking slow?

i cant seek at all. would u like a sample?

edit: after i saved the project, it let me seek.

i then tried to open another mkv and it crashed. had to restart cuvid server. loaded the mkv again, no seeking..saved the project, seeking works :)

[rica]

I have to solve a few issues and add audio support first.

Flac is gonna be an additional audio file which you will support as well with mkv decoding; i guess?

[Guest]

I found the cause of the long hang on some files. Please wait for a fix before testing further.

I plan to demux all audio types.

[rica]

BTW, i've been awaiting you to make a CUDA encoder tool since i know you are the best in those CUDA things.
Still no hope on Cyberlink's Power Director 7 to me.

[Guest]

I fixed the seeking in the MKV test version. It should be really fast now without any hangs.

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/dgavcdecnv1011test.zip

I'm learning way more than I wanted to know about Matroska files. :)

A CUDA encoder is a massive project. Ask Dark_Shikari about it. ;)

[Audionut]

A CUDA encoder is a massive project. Ask Dark_Shikari about it. ;)

I'd search for his previous responses before doing that. ;)

[Sagekilla]

I'd not even ask about a CUDA encoder to begin with. Discussion of it has popped up -many- times and it's a no go because of the extensive resources required. Unless you have a lot of coders who are willing to put time and effort into optimizing code for CUDA, it's not happening. IIRC, one huge issue Dark Shikari had was getting functions to run fast enough to make it worthwhile.

@neuron2: Thanks for adding mkv support :) No need for me to demux a mkv for doing comparisons of my encodes anymore!

[yeye69]

How about Linux version?:)

[Inventive Software]

How about Linux version?:)

Care to port AviSynth and neuron2's DG toolset to Linux? ;)

[Guest]

Port DirectShow too while you're at it because NVCUVID needs it.

[Inventive Software]

Port DirectShow too while you're at it because NVCUVID needs it.

What? No stand-alone? Poor NVIDIA. :(

[Guest]

They're working on disconnecting it from DirectShow.

[Guest]

I've added audio demuxing. Note that some formats are not supported yet. If you hit one of them you'll get a popup asking you to send me a sample. :) I need samples to implement the support.

Be sure to update with the included nvcuvid.dll.

which ones don't you have supported yet? might be easier to
A. compare against a non-supported list and give you samples for the ones on the list rather than trying to hunt
B. compare against a supported list and give you samples for things not on the list.

i imagine B would be easier to do as you know what you've implemented and may forget listing some formats for A.

[Guest]

The documentation of audio CodecIDs is incomplete, so by hunting I will find out ones that are in use but not documented. Anyway, here are the ones I currently support (because I have samples):

A_AC3
A_MPEG/L1
A_MPEG/L2
A_MPEG/L3
A_DTS

[Kurtnoise]

A_AAC
A_EAC3
A_FLAC
A_PCM/INT/LIT
A_REAL
A_TTA1
A_VORBIS
A_WAVPACK4

[Guest]

Added support for A_AAC in MKV files.

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/dgavcdecnv1011test.zip

What's the priority on the remaining formats?

I think ac3, dts, aac and flac is enough for mkv since DTS-HD and TrueHD are not supported by matroska for now.

[Guest]

Added support for A_FLAC in MKV files.

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/dgavcdecnv1011test.zip

I'd like to release this, so please beat on it.

[rica]

Sorry, but i haven't understood the difference with previous version?
That already gave me the flac.

[Guest]

No, the previous version displayed FLAC as the detected audio type, but if you tried to demux it, you got an error. With the latest version you get a demuxed FLAC file. :)

[rica]

Please check this:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/gvhic6

[Guest]

I'd really appreciate it if you'd say if you think there's a problem and what it is.

You may need to download it again as I updated it shortly after posting the new version.

The demuxed .flac plays fine in WinAmp.

Be aware that I demux to raw flac, while mkvextract by default puts it into an ogg wrapper. Do you need it to be in an ogg wrapper or are you drawing my attention to something else?

[rica]

I couldn't get demuxed flac; that was the problem.
So i should reload DGAVCNV; thanks.

[Guest]

Both versions would have demuxed the FLAC.

[rica]

Reloaded again; it's working :thanks:

[Guest]

* Fixed a bug in the handling of multiple slice frames. This affected the stream provided by rica, so update to this version for proper handling of the stream.

* Added CLI support for audio demuxing for MKV files.

* Updated the users manuals.

[Snowknight26]

DTS-HD is supported by mkv, contrary to what rica says, so maybe that one?

[rica]

What???

Interesting.
Thanks snow; dtsHD-HR and dtsHD-MA is supported by mkvmergegui.
Here is the method i used:
Demux/remux video to mkv and demux audio to dts with eac3to 3.0.5 and remux to mkv with mkvmergegui 2.4.2.

while 1.0.11 rc1 can not.

[Guest]

I fixed the problem with audio demuxing. Please redownload rc1.

Thanks for pointing it out, rica.
