DGMPGDecNV 1.0.2

[Guest]

@laserfan

It was a new version because it had to support program streams.

@all

Here is 1.0.3 beta 1 that supports multiple input files for MPG (e.g., load multiple VOBs). Do not try to use the DGDecodeNV.dll with AVC or VC1 (yet), because they need new versions of the respective indexers. Please test and report.

worked fine to load multiple .vobs here...

[cweb]

I had tried a brief mpeg clip (recorded from satellite) with both the beta and release versions, and while it loaded in a complex script, the script would not encode to xvid in virtualdub without crashing..
I'm using NV beta 4 from your website.

Now I updated my graphics driver to nvidia's latest 186.18 as recommended in the beta, and virtualdub is getting stuck when I try to load a one line avs script to load a video (this time a dvd backup). DGMPGIndexNV is what I used to create the dgm file.

dgsource("sja102.dgm")

It just stays 'not responding'... both with PureVideo for deinterlacing and without it.
any ideas?
I had an nvcuvid.dll in system32 but deleted it now. Doesn't seem to have solved the problem.

-edit-
I think I found what's wrong.
I'm using MT avisynth, and setmtmode(2,2) before dgsource - which it doesn't like. Solution for now is to dgsource before calling setmtmode (and to kill any running cuvid server).

Also how can I move the software to a different directory on another drive on my machine without having to get another license file?

Just a small cosmetic thing in NVbeta4:
When I open the DGDecodeNVManual.html file the title in the web browser says "DGAVCDecodeNVManual" instead of "DGDecodeNVManual".

Thank you for your work, neuron2.

1. Can I use DGMPGDecNV with FFT3DGPU filter (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=89941) safely? I've tried to do this with small video fragments and it seems everything looks fine. But I am not sure.
2. Do you planning to include noise reduction and edge enhancement features provided by NVidia?

I have NVidia 8800 GTS card and Vista32 OS.

I had tried DGMPGDecNV beta 4 with DVD (it contains 4 vob files, detailed info see below). Index has been created succesfully. But within avs-script decoding process hangs approximately in the middle of the film. For other film it was stopped near to end of third part of the film.

I am using last NVidia drivers (v.190.38 international for Windows Vista 32), AviSynth 2.5.8, Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate, GeForce 8800 GTS, GOM player.

here is the script
DGSource(dga="G:\video\_new\Gold Globus\England\video.dgm",deinterlace=2)

Just discovered that with the deinterlace=1 everything works good. But I want to know what I am doing wrong?

- edit 2 -
I found in documentation: "Note that double rate deinterlacing requires Windows XP SP3!" Is there any possibility to use double rate deinterlacing on Vista SP2?

[Revgen]

^I have Windows XP SP3 and I have the same issue.using the same drivers. I'm using an 8400 GS.

[Guest]

Is there any possibility to use double rate deinterlacing on Vista SP2? You have to ask Nvidia. That is the advice I have from them.

[Guest]

I have Windows XP SP3 and I have the same issue.using the same drivers. I'm using an 8400 GS. I can't help you without a stream that I can use to duplicate the issue.

Now tell me the steps to create your problem.

[Revgen]

^
1) Create .dgm file
2) AVS script
dgsource("espytest.dgm",deinterlace=2)
3) Open avs script in Virtualdub.
4) First half of video plays smooth. 2nd half doesn't play at all. 2nd half frames can be seeked, but cannot be played.

have the same issue (with the sample file you provided). windows media player and other programs also have problems playing the 2nd half.
2nd half is frame 123 - 248.

Yet another issue with NVBeta5.

When I am opening 4 vob files in DGMPGIndexNV for index creating I am getting error with following message:

GPU decoder: failed to create video decoder [100]

After this error happened I can't to close DGMPGIndexNV.

I am using last NVidia drivers (v.190.38 international for Windows Vista 32), Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate, GeForce 8800 GTS.

== Edit 1 ==
I can't to use created index in avisynth script at all. Neither with deinterlace=0 nor deinterlace=1 nor deinterlace=2. There is no video output on my player (GOM).

[Revgen]

^I'm not having this problem.

Tried NVBeta6?

Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers?

[prokhozhijj]

^I'm not having this problem.


May be this error happens due to my OS (Vista)?


Tried NVBeta6?


I do not see NVBeta6 URL o neuron2.net.


Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers?

Why? I had no such problem with NVbeta4.

== Edit 1==
With NVBeta6 the same problem. I found NVBeta6 there http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/NVbeta6.zip

[Guest]

Make sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed and try beta 7.

Just change the link you get from the site, replace the 5 by a 6 and you can download it..

[prokhozhijj]

Make sure you have the latest Nvidia drivers installed and try beta 7.

With NVBeta7 I have the same issue as with NVBeta5 and NVBeta6.

With NVBeta4 I have no such issue.

I've tried to reinstall NVidia drivers (190.38 International for Vista32, this is latest version for my video card 8800GTS) but it did not help.

[Guest]

I'll ask Nvidia about it.

[prokhozhijj]

I'll ask Nvidia about it.

Any progress?

[Guest]

You're the only guy with this problem. One other person had it and the cause was an old version of the DLL in the Avisynth plugin directory. Have you checked that? It's consistent with the fact tha beta 4 works for you.

[prokhozhijj]

Sorry, Neuron2, but I have two problems. You forgot probably about that. First problem is error generated by your application DGMPGIndexNV.exe after opening vob files - "GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder [100]". Is this error happens due to old library in Avisynth plugins directory?

After this error arised your application can generate index file but after that I can not legally shutdown the program (through menu or window button "Close").

I've checked my Avisynth version. I wrote already that I have the latest stable official release. This is 2.5.8 AFAIK. But I've reinstalled Avisynth JIC. The second problem still occured when I do not see anything when using avs-script.

Are others guys have Windows Vista 32 SP2? May be problem in operating system difference (Xp SP3 and Vista SP2)?

== Edit 1 ==
I found old version nvcuvid.dll in this folder C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_disp.inf_df3f64cf. In others folders (C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_disp.inf_12c1d22e) there is newest version of this dll. I think that old version of this library saved by OS for possibility to rollback in case when new drivers installed incorrectly.

== Edit 2 ==
Version of DGDecodeNV.dll in NVBeta7.zip is 1.0.2.0. The same version of this library in plugins Avisynth folder. I rewrote this dll in plugins folder from NVBeta7.zip archive.

I use 2.5.8 (mt version), XP SP3 (32 bit). Im using the beta 6 version successfully.

Make sure you have 190.38 or later for your Nvidia driver. Make sure you are not loading a rogue nvcuvid.dll from the past. It should be the latest one installed by Nvidia.

Does it happen with all VOB files?

Neuron2, please read my previous posts. I've already reinstall all stuff which I can (drivers, Avisynth). Why repeat this question twice?

I did not load nvcuvid.dll from the past. I wrote which dll's from NVidia I have and where they located. Please read my posts carefully.

I've noticed that when I firstly close the project than I can to close DGMPGIndexNV.exe legally.

Issue happens with all VOB files.

[Guest]

I don't know how to help you further.

[prokhozhijj]

I don't know how to help you further.

:thanks:

But did you test your soft on Vista 32 SP2? I did not found any restriction (except for deinterlacing) about Vista using.

And may be you'll make your application with extended logging? It may help. I see that you just do not want to investigate my problem. All advices comes to "just reinstall your soft". How you can make conclusion about anything without any logs?

[SomeJoe]

I believe somewhere on your system is an old version of something, probably something associated with the NVidia drivers.

Be aware that NVidia used to have a large control panel/control suite called nView that was bundled with older versions of their drivers. They removed nView support for GeForce cards in the drivers starting several months ago, nView is for Quadro cards only now.

If you had older nVidia drivers on the system when you upgraded to 190.38, nView may have stayed behind, and it will cause problems with the latest drivers. My recommendation:

1. Remove your nVidia drivers.
2. Remove nView if it is listed in the Add/Remove programs control panel.
3. Do a search on the Windows directory for all nVidia-related DLLs, especially nvcuvid.dll, and delete if any are found.
4. Delete C:\Program Files\nVidia if present.
5. Remove all versions of DG's NV tools from your system, including any DGNV-related DLLs present in C:\Program Files\Avisynth\plugins (like DGDecode.dll)
6. Restart and reinstall nVidia drivers 190.38.
7. Download and unzip the latest DGNV Beta 7 from neuron's site.
8. Try your steps again.

If this does not work, I'm not sure where else to go. Many other people here are running DGNV Tools beta 7 under XP SP3, Vista 32, Vista 64, and Win 7 with no issues.

Edit: Just saw in the other thread that you discovered that your GeForce card may not have sufficient hardware support for the NV Tools. If this turns out to be the case, please disregard.

Hi neuron.
Sorry in advance if i've missed something since i've been away for a while.

I have DGMPGNV 1.0.2.0.

I have this system:

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/6053/66006105.th.png (http://img193.imageshack.us/i/66006105.png/)

Here is the MediaInfo report of the original VOB:

http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/2848/vobinfo.th.png (http://img199.imageshack.us/i/vobinfo.png/)

And here is the sample rar including log, original VOB and dgm files:

http://rapidshare.com/files/273106157/DG.rar.html

1) Log is empty.
2) Created dgm is slow-motion.
3) Even MediaInfo says the original is progressive and even more "enable purevideo deinterlacer" is selected in "double rate", interlacing artifacts are very clear.

What's wrong with me?

[rica]

What's wrong with me?

Missing DGNVTools beta :D

[Guest]

The logs were broken. I have just updated beta 9 with the fix for the logs.

Regarding your interlacing, the stream is hosed. Turn off deinterlacing, serve the video with SeparateFields() to look at the source fields. See what I mean?

I don't know what you mean by the dgm is slow-motion. Please redownload beta 9 and try with that, and if there is an issue tell me what you do to make it happen.

[rica]

neuron,

i've already done.

No problem left here.

Sorry, but i haven't been realized DGTools beta until now.

I was dreaming this morning a software which makes HW decoding-resizing on the fly like SimHD and now i found it. :)

Thanks neuron.

Here are my test results:

aviscrypt:

LoadPlugin("C:\users\rica\desktop\Tools\DGNVTools\DGDecodeNV.dll")

DGSource("C:\users\rica\desktop\Copy\DG_Newest\output_newest.dgm", resize_w=1280, resize_h=720)

My GTX has nview installed without issues on XP SP3. I don't use the desktop management features though.

[UsedUser]

I don't know where to start, so I'm starting here.

I'm trying to use DGMPGDecNV on Win 7 x64 with an x64 build of x264 (from x264.nl, built with AVS input support). I set up the job in MeGUI for DGMPGDecNV decoding and it runs fine with x264 x86 encoding, but can't find the AVS file with x264 x64.

Any known issues, i.e., with decoder/encoder bitness?

Job commandline: "C:\Program Files (x86)\megui\tools\x264\x264.exe"

Yes, you're right, the latest 190.38 and 190.62 drivers seem to have put it back in.

I have had intermittent problems with nView's desktop management features, though, so I don't use that package like I used to.
