What happens if you use level 4.1 instead of High 5?

I don't have the source ripped to the HDD anymore. I'm back at work from my holidays and i've got a back log of stuff to do. I'll try and re-rip it on thursday on my day off and let you know.

edit2: source shouldn't matter. I'll try with some others sources on thursday and report.

i have nvidia gtx 285m, and when importing a 1080p m2ts

dgdecnv returns Failed Decoder [100]

I then started the server and it was able index, but when importing to AVSP it returns error [100] and crashes AVSP

I also installed cudakit 64bit driver, and it still returns the error

I'm using win7 pro x64.

[Guest]

dgdecnv returns Failed Decoder [100] There is no component "dgdecnv" that can return anything. Are you saying that DGIndexNV gave you that error? If you want help you have to be precise.

Another thing that doesn't make sense is you say you were able to index only after starting the server, but DGIndexNV does not use the server.

I was able index with and without the server by saying 'Yes' to this warning:

That's a very old driver

I had a feeling my driver was at fault; hopefully an update will fix this.

My laptop manufacturer Sager NP8690 only has the 187.71 version and last updated it on 2010-Feb-12 :mad:

http://www.sagernotebook.com/information.php?information_id=7

Under system information it displays NVIDIA CUDA 2.2 driver.

I looked at notebook GTX 285M drivers at nvidia.com, but they doesn't support it: http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook_winvista_win7_x64_195.62_whql.html

I talked to nvidia live support and he says, "Laptop graphic drivers are custom made for the laptop make and model they are used in" and to try the 280M driver after creating system restore point.

Try this:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7_winvista_64bit_196.21_whql.html

Unfortunately these are desktop drivers :(

[osgZach]

It's not that hard to find drivers on Nvidia..

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index5.aspx?lang=en-us

Support recommended trying the 280M drivers.. So select "Geforce 280M Series" from the product series dropdown. Then select the OS you are using.

Create your restore point, then uninstall your current drivers, just to avoid any conflicts, etc.. then install the 280M ones to see if they will work out.

If not.. system restore, your old drivers are back. No harm done..

Maybe you should also try complaining to your laptop company.. Especially since they are selling this thing as a gaming laptop.

This is the one i downloaded, it's not compatible with GTX 285M; lots of complaints on the nvidia board, they released a card without driver support at their site.

I uninstalled my manufacturer's driver and tried installing this, and ended up restoring it back.

Maybe you should also try complaining to your laptop company.. Especially since they are selling this thing as a gaming laptop.

I'm definitely going to give them a call and try to get them to update.

Thank you everyone for all your support, really appreciate it.

* Fix leading non-decodable frame calculation for MPEG2 streams. Frames pulled down from non-decodable frames are also non-decodable.

* Honor stream's specified right cropping. Note that the associated INI file option is renamed AlwaysCrop (was AlwaysBottomCrop).

* CLI cropping arguments are now decimal.

* Check the first 10000 packets of a transport stream (was 5000) to avoid missing audio.

Build 2007 is still detecting BBC HD Teletext subtitles stream as MPA audio :-( I haven't addressed that yet, as you can see in the post immediately above yours, where it is not listed as fixed.

I have all the trouble reports logged (and streams saved) and will address them on a priority basis. You don't need to remind me.

I have finally received my Nvidia GTX275 and gotten it installed so that I could take advantage of its CUDA capabilities. However, I've run into a roadblock that I am working on and thought that maybe someone here could help or point me into a helpful direction. I run Ubuntu and use DGAVCIndex and DGIndex on it easily enough via Wine. I was hoping to be able to do the same with DGIndexNV; however, I originally got the error messages from Wine of:

err:module:import_dll Library nvcuvid.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\dgdecnv2006\\DGIndexNV.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library nvcuda.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\dgdecnv2006\\DGIndexNV.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\dgdecnv2006\\DGIndexNV.exe" failed, status c0000135

I obtained versions of nvcuvid.dll and nvcuda.dll (but I don't know if they are the most recent ones) and put them into the Wine system32 folder and DGIndexNV will then open but gives this warning box:

ERROR: cuInit failed (100)

After having gotten my license number and created a license.txt file, the error still comes up. I was wondering if this issue is due to the dll's not being the most current. I would assume the most current dll's are in the driver setup executable downloadable from the Nvidia website or off of the cd that came with the video card, so I am trying to figure a way to get the needed dll's out of the driver setup executable. I've extracted what I could out of the executable and what comes out are nvcuvid.dl_ and nvcuda.dl_, renaming them to nvcuvid.dll and nvcuda.dll and putting them into the Wine system32 folder brings back the original problem, so somehow, they aren't the full working versions of the drivers I need.

Does anybody know how to do what I am trying to do? Would that even work in my situation? Am I SOL with trying to do this via Wine? The driver setup executable won't install in Wine itself, it keeps erroring out.

Thanks for any help anyone here could provide.

[Guest]

I'm not aware of anyone using DGDecNV under wine.

Anybody out there?

[stanjr]

Is there a way to use DGDecNV on Linux at all by some means?

[Guest]

It's a Windows application!

Sorry, I mistakenly thought that the Check the first 10000 packets of a transport stream (was 5000) to avoid missing audio was aimed at this. My bad.

i have an ati 3200HD onboard graphics controller.
I am trying to convert a bluray vc1 movie using megui.
when i try to use directshow filter as the input, megui queue item crashes.

Am i right in assuming DGIndexNV will not work in my system.

thanks

Your assumption is correct.

[Guest]

I am trying to convert a bluray vc1 movie using megui.

DGDecNV will not run on ATI cards.

[VincAlastor]

there is a DgDecode 1.5.8 x64 version. would you support JoshyD with an dg nv tools x64 version, please? :)

[Guest]

If you buy me a 64-bit OS I will consider it.

[VincAlastor]

what did you do with my donation?!?! ;) ...it was just a question, sorry

[Guest]

More seriously, I have never made a 64 bit anything in my life. If you can make it easy for me by telling me what I have to do, then it could happen. Please use PM for that.

[stanjr]

It's a Windows application!Yeah, well there is Wine and Crossover and Cedega to get Windows things to run on Linux. I was just wondering if any of those worked, that's all. I guess I'll go to Wine and whine...:)

[turbojet]

Concerning an x64 OS, I don't know if this helps but microsoft offers windows 7 90 day enterprise edition (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/cc442495.aspx). It won't be good as a primary os/upgrade but you could dual boot without affecting your current OS by making another partition and restore the space an app like easeus partition manager.

[hajj_3]

ah yeah i forgot about the 90day trials of windows 7. If there was a 64bit dgNV then we'd have 64bit x264, avisynth, dgnv and deinterlacers. I reckon we'd have quite a speed improvement using all these instead of 32bit versions of each.

So much 64bit development over the past 2 months, alot of hard work by everyone:)

[swinokur]

Hi there,
I've found a MPEG-2 Program stream which DGIndexNV cannot decode. (I see a green video window with a few randomly colored macroblocks in it).

I had a copy of DGIndex 1.5.2 here, so I tried that. It shows video in the window properly.

The video is MPEG2 Program, profile esc (0@5), 720 x 512 px, 4:3 [2], 29.97fps, NTSC, Interlaced, BT.470-2 B,G, Frame, Top Field.

Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you.

[Guest]

Let me know if you'd like me to send it to you. Yes, I would like that.

[swinokur]

Yes, I would like that.

Better interaction of DGMultiSource() with AvspMod:

Refering to my post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1383985#post1383985) in the AvsPmod thread.

[Guest]

@XadoX

Your cited post does not mention any "bug" in DGDecNV.

[XadoX]

You are right. But I am not sure on which side the error belongs.

...If I am using DGMultiSource ... AvsPmod often crashes...

On AvspMod or the DGMultiDecodeNV.dll side?

Edit:
Somehow I always have the feeling that you are angry/huffy about my posts?

[osgZach]

I don't think it's personal, he's just a very blunt person and gets to the point.

[Guest]

...If I am using DGMultiSource ... AvsPmod often crashes... If AvsPmod is crashing you need to speak to its author.

Just aquired a licence for DGIndexNV and trying to get it working. Attepting to load an mpeg2 ts file directly in DGIndexNV results in the following error:

GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder (100)

My GPU is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M and I am running Windows XP with the latest service packs and updates.

Video Driver version reports as 4.00.6163.1000

Any suggestions or other information needed to get me going?

Thanks

[Guest]

That GPU is not on the supported list linked at my web site. You'll have to check with Nvidia to see if it has a VP2 or greater engine. Then you'll need to get version 191+ drivers from the Nvidia website.

[Rat Killer]

Thanks. I did manage to figure it out and get it working. The 160M is a verson of the GT9300M made for Dell. I loaded the latest dell drivers from Jan this year and still did not work. In the past, the generic nvidia drivers did not work on the dell branded chips but there was some discussion online that that had chaged for the more recent versions.

Loaded the latest 195 beta driver and it now works. Inside MeGUI no less.

[Guest]

Good to hear. Thanks for reporting on that.

[Clumpco]

A while ago someone gave me a link to an article that explained the formula for estimating CUDA speed for a given graphics card (something along the lines of Number of Pixel Shaders times the memory clock speed) - does anyone have this link or the formula?

Along the same lines... neuron2, how about a small benchmarking application that we could all run to get an idea of relative speeds of different cards/chipsets? I know that we can turn off video rendering and then playback to get the max framerate, but that must surely depend on the content that is being played back (and the disk read speed).

The "CUDA speed" is irrelevant because the decoding is done by the VP engine.

Along the same lines... neuron2, how about a small benchmarking application that we could all run to get an idea of relative speeds of different cards/chipsets? The VP engine speeds are already documented by Nvidia. Also, there is no way I would ever find time/priority to make such a thing.

I use the Cropping filter a lot, and find myself moving the Cropping filter dialog every time I use it. Its position defaults to the upper-left corner of the DGIndexNV display, which means it is always covering at least part of the top and left edges.

Could you make the Cropping Filter dialog default to the center of the video being displayed? or, perhaps just remember its last position?


Also I'm wondering if it's possible to allow the main window to be moved around on the screen while the Cropping Filter dialog is open. I often forget to make sure I can see all four edges of the video image before opening the Cropping Filter, and it's annoying to have to close the dialog, move the main window, then open the dialog again.


Thanks!

An update after my driver fiasco, there's a website laptopvideo2go (http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/11997-have-disk-method-for-windows-7-vista/) where you can download the latest driver and overwrite a modded INF file and install using the 'Have Disc' method.

Long story short, i was able to install v196.86 and use DG NV tools successfully.

I too would like to see support with JoshyD's 64bit AviSynth builds.

Hi I'm looking at getting a 256Meg 8400GS to do the video decoding for DGNV but am wondering if there is an advantage to getting a 512Mb version, will the encoding be quicker with more memory or doesn't it matter?

[Guest]

I recommend the 512MB card. It won't be faster but you'll be able to open more simultaneous instances if you need that.

[simonb1975uk]

Ok thanks a lot :-)
