I don't understand your point.

Ahaaaa...

After digging out the old email you sent me (Oct 2012) I sussed out where I was going wrong. It must be me who's "barely conscious" ;)

I've not used the license generator in years--how and where??? I see nothing in Changes or the Readme or .htmls or website about how to actually do this (and I get Error Invalid License! when I try to open a file).

:(

EDIT: Bah, I found it by going thru old emails. May I respectfully suggest adding some clues to Readme or Changes e.g. "Find the email you got from me with your User ID and goto neuron2.net/licensing.html and enter it there along with the new Machine ID (from DGIndexNV's About dialog)".

It worked btw...

Guys, I need some testing...

Everything here is 5 by 5.

May I respectfully suggest adding some clues Of course you may. I'll do it when I make the release. Thank you for the suggestion and for your testing.

I went live with 2047.

Next I will update my other tools. In the meantime, use the old license file for them. The license generator works with both licensing schemes.

As soon as I receive the first license count reset request I will reset everybody to 0.

Thank you everybody for your interest in my tools and for your assistance to improving them over the years.

Since version 2047 I can't save a project anymore. It shut down (crashs?).
Step by step:
I load mpls file
I click on Audio -> Audio demux to select the audio files I want
I click File -> Save Project
It seems a window wants to appear but it closes immediately. It doesn't happen on 2046.
My version comes from the MeGUI Updater. The AVS Script Creator from MeGUI works fine with DGIndexNV.
Tested with 2 BluRay movies on Windows 8.1 64bit.

Guest
24th June 2014, 17:19
Did you make a new license as required after updating to 2047?

If so, try to open some other file, like a VOB or TS. What happens with those?

The only thing significant that changed was the licensing method.

Morku
24th June 2014, 17:57
Yes, I did. Without the license, DGIndexNV doesn't allow me to select audiostreams.
It also crashs with VOB and mp4 files and it crashs without choosing audio streams before.

Guest
24th June 2014, 18:05
Yes, I did. Without the license, DGIndexNV doesn't allow me to select audiostreams. That sounds very odd, as you should get a license violation popup if you open a stream without a valid license.Did you download 2047 from my website? If so, please send me an email with your user ID, a snapshot of your Help/About dialog, and attach the license file you made.

Please state your OS and nVidia card type and driver version. 32 or 64 bit DGDecNV?

When you open a VOB, when exactly does it crash? Please give full step-by-step.

Meanwhile I will try to recreate this with a bluray.

Morku
24th June 2014, 18:13
No, I got the license violation popup, so I generated a new license, saved it and it works fine until I click "Save Project". It doesn't matter if I select mpls, vob, mp4 file. The program always crashs when I want Save project or click F4. Opening a videofile is no problem.
Do you still want my user ID and machine type?
I have GTX480 with driver version 337.88 on Windows 8.1 64bit and latest updates.

Guest
24th June 2014, 18:15
No need for the licensing info.

32 or 64 bit DGIndexNV? I want to make a debug version for you.

Also, try deleting the INI file.

We're going to need to work closely on this, so if you can stick around and respond promptly it will be much appreciated.

EDIT: Seems you can't stick around. :(

Morku
24th June 2014, 18:45
32bit version coming from the MeGUI Updater (dev server).
Deleting the ini didn't help, but I found something out. When I open DGIndexNV twice and leave the one version in background, saving the project works on the other window. Thats weird.

Sorry, I had to clean the kitchen, but now I have time :P
I will do a video to make the situation clear.

EDIT: Hm... I can't reproduce the trick with opening twice... ô.o

Guest
24th June 2014, 18:47
Video not needed, I know the scenario from another user. Just please stay online until I give you a debug version. Thank you.

OK download this:
http://neuron2.net/misc/DGIndexNV_Morku.exe

Install Dbgview from my website, all the way at the bottom of the Mine page.

Start Dbgview and set a filter to Include Morku. Then run DGIndexNV_Morku and make it fail. Post the results from Dbgview here. We will know what direction to go in from the results.

EDIT: after you hit F4, does it crash immediately, or only after hitting OK in the dialog?

Morku
24th June 2014, 19:08
If you are interested: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3k5df0inou70p6/DGIndexNV.mkv

How do I set the filter? Include: DGIndexNV_Morku.exe or Exlude: DGIndexNV_Morku.exe? I don't know how to use. Have to be Dbgview.exe in the same folder?

EDIT: How you can see, immediately after pressing F4.

Guest
24th June 2014, 19:12
As I said, put

Morku

(not DGIndexNV_Morku.exe) in the

Include

box.

The executable can be anywhere. You have to start it before DGIndexNV_Morku.

It's a Microsoft problem. I am looking for a workaround.

Guest
25th June 2014, 14:33
I have another attempt. Please re-download DGIndexNV_Morku.exe and test it. The traces were removed so don't bother with Dbgview, just tell me if it still crashes.

Morku
25th June 2014, 15:11
No, it doesn't crash anymore. It's working now :)

Morku
25th June 2014, 15:14
Oh, wait, no. It crashs when I click on "Desktop".

Here you can see again: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xelk4njihn5tbtk/desktop.mkv

I also realised, that the program detects the fps of the mov file wrong. The preview window says in title 25fps. But it's wrong. It's 29,97fps.

Guest
25th June 2014, 15:24
Please re-download again. Does it crash now only when you click on Desktop? If so, I may know what is happening (permissions problem).

DGIndexNV does not support MOV! Don't test with MOV files.

Morku
25th June 2014, 15:30
It still crash when I click on Desktop (btw. I changed path of my Desktop to D:\Sonstiges\Desktop). The window just disappear, no error message.
(Now testes with mpls again ^^)

Guest
25th June 2014, 15:35
Can you please read and answer my specific questions?

Again: Does it crash now *only* when you click on Desktop? Try to save to some innocuous location.

Don't use MOV!

Morku
25th June 2014, 15:44
It doesn't crash on the other 4 buttons (history, bibliothek, pc, network). Only on Desktop DGIndexNV vanish. When I click on PC, than Desktop in the windows, it doesn't crash.
But it also crash, when I open my "Sonstiges" location on my PC. D:\Sonstiges. It's the place, where Desktop is located.

And I said: Now tested with mpls again

When I don't open D:\Sonstiges and save in D:\. It's working. No crash.

Guest
25th June 2014, 15:51
Well, that's your workaround for now. Don't save to your Desktop location. I will continue investigating to see if that can be fixed.

By the way, I can't read German, so images like that are no use to me, unless you translate the message for me.

Guest
25th June 2014, 16:32
One more attempt. Please re-download and test.

Do you have any PDF files in the Desktop directory? Can I see a listing of that directory?

Guest
25th June 2014, 16:43
Also, go into folder options/view and click off Show popup and file info for desktop. Does that stop the crashing?

Morku
25th June 2014, 17:06
Behaves like previous version. It vanish/crash when I click on Desktop and it shows up a crash popup when I open D:\Sonstiges

If you mean this option: http://s7.directupload.net/images/140625/6yay3j7r.png it doesn't make any difference. Still crash when I disable, click on "Übernehmen" and try. Yes, it's german, but the position and layout of that options should be in any other language the same.

Yes, there are pdfs on my Desktop.
[list of a desktop]

It's a mess :D

In my download folder are pdfs, too. It doesn't crash, when I open my download folder.

Guest
25th June 2014, 17:59
When you changed the tooltip option, did you apply it also to your configured desktop folder?

There are rumors this is due to PDF files. If you can temporarily move them out and retest it would be interesting.

If neither of those leads anywhere, I would have to say you have a workaround. Anything more will require you to talk to Microsoft. I have exhausted known things found on the internet, and without being able to reproduce it, I cannot attach OlyDbg and trace it myself.

Groucho2004
25th June 2014, 18:28
Since version 2047 I can't save a project anymore. It shut down (crashs?).
...
It seems a window wants to appear but it closes immediately. It doesn't happen on 2046.
@neuron2
Did you figure out why it works with 2046?

Morku
25th June 2014, 18:36
I moved all pdfs out in another folder (and no subfolder of desktop) and it's like always. It crash when I click on desktop. The folder option should be functional on all folders, including desktop.
Maybe I switch back to 2046 until there is a solution. This version works fine.

Guest
25th June 2014, 18:36
Did you figure out why it works with 2046?

2046 32-bit was built with VS 2005 Pro on WinXP 32, while 2047 was built with VS 2012 Express on Win8.1 64. Is it relevant? I don't know. I can't try VS 2013 until nVidia supports it in the CUDA toolkit. VS 2005 won't run on Win 8.1.

There is no reliable information about this symptom. I have seen references to VS being involved, but I don't know how much credence to give them.

We could try the 2005 compile again but it would be a big hassle as I decommissioned that machine. :( But I can try building it on a Win 7 32 with VS 2005. I'll install VS 2005 and provide a test build. May take a while...

Guest
25th June 2014, 18:37
The folder option should be functional on all folders, including desktop. Not necessarily. You have to select to apply it to all folders. Did you do that?

Does your active user account have Admin privileges?

Morku
25th June 2014, 19:31
I changed the settings in system control and folder option, so it should affect the whole PC. If I am doing wrong, tell me how I do correctly.
I am administrator of the PC, but with enabled User Account Control (default since Vista).
Hopefully it will work with VS2012, too. 2005 is really old.

Anyway, when you have the same OS, why it doesn't happen to you, too?

Groucho2004
25th June 2014, 21:27
2047 was built with VS 2012 Express on Win8.1 64. Is it relevant?
Do you link the binary statically to the VS and SDK libraries? If so, you might want to try linking dynamically.
There may be a incompatibility with the SDK version you use with VS2012 and Windows 8.1.

Edit: One more thought - try setting "lpstrInitialDir" in the OPENFILENAME structure to something that's not protected by UAC, like "c:\" (unless you have done so already).

There may be a incompatibility with the SDK version you use with VS2012 and Windows 8.1. Statically, of course. Dynamic is a bridge too far for me, to prevent a boat load of user issues with runtimes not installed, etc.

Edit: One more thought - try setting "lpstrInitialDir" in the OPENFILENAME structure to something that's not protected by UAC, like "c:\" (unless you have done so already). It gets set to the location of the source stream so that the DGI file gets created there.

Guest
26th June 2014, 14:31
Morku, please re-download DGIndexNV_Morku.exe and give it a whirl. I changed the way the ofn struct is initialized. Probably it won't help but you never know.

Also, following up on Groucho's idea, can you try with UAC disabled?

Groucho2004
26th June 2014, 14:45
Statically, of course. Dynamic is a bridge too far for me, to prevent a boat load of user issues with runtimes not installed, etc.
I still think you should give it a try to narrow down the problem. Installing the 2012 runtimes should not be an issue.

Morku
26th June 2014, 17:11
Still crashs at the same two described points.

Since Windows 8, UAC is more integrated. Turning off UAC in system settings don't turn off this feature completly, you have to go in regestry in set EnableLUA to 0. Without UAC, Metro Apps wont work anymore.

So I turned off UAC, set EnableLUA to 0, as recommended, I rebooted my PC and started DGIndexNV with administrator privilegs. More rights are not possible ^^ But it still crash on desktop and D:\Sonstiges
I think the typical DGIndexNV user is able to install runtimes and know why :)

Guest
26th June 2014, 17:36
I think the typical DGIndexNV user is able to install runtimes and know why :) Possibly, but at this point attributing the problem to the runtime version is just a wild guess.

Nevertheless, re-download and try the dynamic build I made.

Morku
26th June 2014, 17:42
Sadly doesn't work neither at the same two points.

Guest
26th June 2014, 17:45
Here is something else to try:

"We found another thread on ServerFault reporting a similar problem ("Typically it crashes when you click File/Open or File/Save, but not every time"). Another user (PG) was able to resolve the problem by excluding the application from Data Execution Prevention, on Microsoft's recommendation.

We checked the Data Execution Prevention setting and found that it was set to "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select." After changing it to "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only", the problem no longer occurs."

http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=faq-Windows-8&faq=145

Guest
26th June 2014, 17:54
Also try temporarily disabling shell extensions with, e.g.. ShellExView.

Morku
26th June 2014, 17:57
When I want to add DGIndexNV_Morku.exe in that Data Execution Prevention list, it says "this program have to execute with active Data Execution Prevention. You can't disable it for that program". But I will try without having it into list.

I don't know if I have additional shell extensions. How I can disable it, without breaking my user experience (so to be able to turn on back again). Maybe I should try in windows safe mode?

EDIT: Nope, didn't work, but I was unable to add anyway... In safe mode, there was some random error messages, like "Failed to create video decoder" after loading a file what is normal I think, BUT... it didn't crash on desktop and my folder anymore.

Guest
26th June 2014, 18:11
Don't try to add an exception, just click the "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only".

We disable extensions just for debugging. i don't suggest to leave it that way.

Morku
26th June 2014, 18:17
There is no "Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only". Only 2 options and the second says: "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those select:". Am I wrong place?
I tried this option, rebooted and... didn't work.

EDIT: Wait, it seems the secure start of UEFI doesn't allow me to disable DEP. I will sisable secure start now.

Guest
26th June 2014, 18:23
I don't know why you don't have it. I do.

Anyway, I think a shell extension is more likely.

Also, try turning off thumbnails for your Desktop directory.

Morku
26th June 2014, 18:37
Okay,
I disabled secure start in UEFI. After that i was able to disable DEP completly with that tutorial: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-data-execution-prevention
I completly disabled UAC
in folder options, I disabled thumbnails and this popup thing for all folders (including desktop).
I disabled all shell extensions of third party software (the pink entrys in ShellExView). Or do you think about of any other shell extension?

After all, I rebooted again and tried again. No difference. It crash on desktop and D:\Sonstiges. It only works in safe mode.

Guest
26th June 2014, 18:38
I've really reached the end of my rope here. All I can suggest is that you don't try to save a project to your Desktop directory. Is that so horrible?

Morku
26th June 2014, 18:44
No, it's not, because I want save it to a subfolder of D:\Sonstiges ^^
After all, it's not a solution for public. Is there so much difference between 2046 and 2047 not to use 2046 anymore?
I can try to disable all shell extensions, if it wont break my pc.

I made one last attempt and slip-streamed all the changes into the release 2047 version. I can't think of anything else to do about this problem. A last resort for the few users (currently only two) that have experienced this is to not locate your DGI file on the desktop.

I find it unbelievable that people would have any need to do such a thing in the first place. It seems totally illogical to put stuff on the desktop. Icons maybe but anything else no.

Do people actually move large video files to their desktop or am I misunderstanding things? I cannot see any other reason why a dgi file would need to be on the desktop.

I don't think that it will bother too many people.

Guest
28th June 2014, 00:24
Well, the user has redirected the desktop directory to a folder on another drive and while we may not consider that scenario desirable that's what he wants to do. I would fix it if I could but the only thing left to try is to convert to Vista+ common file dialog support (via COM). It would be a big job for minimal gain, IMHO.

Shevek
28th June 2014, 11:47
I totally agree

1 or 2 edge cases (who are in fact not even following the Windows standard) with a usable workaround should not require a global change to code

I work in software and we have been fighting this for years and finally have a lead who agrees with us and fights our corner.

I think you've been generous in the time you have spent on it so far.

Hi, I have the same Problem.

If I press F4 (or click on save) DGIndexNV 2047 will crash immediately. Licence-File seems to be okay, because video is shown correct.

It will also Crash with other "export" functions like "F1"

Edit: after some tests: It crashs allway on the second "file select dialog".
I mean, for example.
Load Project --> Cancel --> Load Project --> crash
Load File --> Cancel --> Load File Crash
Load File --> OK --> Save --> Crash
and so on

And I will post my problem in the offical board as soon as my account is activated

edit: and now it's swapping between them :( doesn't look kosher.

It's ok and to be expected during the transition. neuron2.net is still active for some time so links can redirect. There is a thread dedicated to this in Don's forum if you want more info.

Thank you. I'll visit there.

I like/use his software and was/am happy to donate for it since it's so useful for my purposes (filtering home videos captured by a DVD recorder ... yeah, don't comment on that ... and some TV caps for timeshifted viewing)

DGDecNV 2053 slipstream 102 now supports full bit depth delivery for HEVC 10-bit and 12-bit streams.

Thank you to nVidia for CUVID evolution.

Great news. Was there a change regarding license in 2053? I couldn't get 2053 working some weeks ago, I tried to regenerate the code with the license web page but it didn't help, 2052 works.

Greetings, stax76. Thank you for your interest.

Item 2 in the Readme.txt (changed in 2053):

2. If you place DGIndexNV.exe and DGDecodeNV.dll in different directories, you must put a copy of your license file in both directories.

If that does not resolve the matter for you, please post again. Sorry for the curve ball.

Short question: On which relevant hardware is DGIndexNV generate the machine ID for the license?
Yesterday I had to generate a new one to make it work again, but no hardwarechanges were made at all. Thanks in advance.

As far as I remember there has been a general request for renewing the licenses (few months ago or so).

I know, but this change came with a new binary release... years ago(?)

I use DGIndexNV frequently with current builds. Yesterday I had to renew the license. And the truth is: this came with a crash of my PC before when I had an encode with x265+DGIndexNV and my PC did a Secure Backup BIOS B to A itself.
So my BIOS was back to stock. I upgraded back to latest BIOS and set everything to same settings, but... I also had to renew my license.

So "something" has been changed on my PC, for example a checksume on BIOS?
So the information could help where I could start to check my PC.

Look at slipstream 161

Which HW is checked depends on which version of DGDecNV you use.

The latest version uses your motherboard serial ID if a valid one is present. If not, then the HW serial number of your system disk is used as fallback. Previously the volume ID was used but that could change when the OS is updated, etc.

Morku

Thank you.
Before I had to renew, it was the exact same version. Nothing was changed.
HDD and OS is also exakt the same.

So the BIOS Security Backup must have changed my motherboard serial... :confused: Interesting :D
Who knows.

videoh
28th July 2019, 16:40
If your system was using the fallback, then it could have been the HDD serial that was changed. But as you say, who knows? The important thing is you are running again and such crashes are rare. Not worth investigating further, IMHO.

I think the security BIOS backup wiped my motherboard serial. When I go for: wmic bios get serialnumber
I get:
SerialNumber
To Be Filled By O.E.M.

I will ask the board manufactory.

Seems I'm facing a very similar problem with DG NV Tools.

Just to note, I'm in "video retiree" and hardly do any video tasks at all anymore. The last time I've created & processed a video project with DGDecNVTools was in autumn of 2017. And also one project in 2016. Yes really. Now these days, trying to open any video in DGDecNV throws me an "invalid license" ... mostly. Sometimes it's also "application doesn't response".

I'm not here to complain. Once I asked Donald how to proceed with donating if I don't have a PayPal account, and Donald was so generous to give me a free license. I'm still very thankful for this. But after many years of so relaxing problem-less serving of video files (ffmpeg is a PITA to me, and from experience oftentimes unreliable and/or unpredictable), I feel bit lost about getting back into the swing of things when I can't use the good old & approved tools ...
My hardware has not changed in any way over the years. Only change is with USB devices ... one more USB HDD, and a change of the USB WiFi adapter. That's all. And of course a good bunch of Windows (still 7) Updates. USB devices shouldn't be part of the hardware ID generation, or should they?
*exe, *dll and *license are all in the proper locations. All that stuff last used in 2017, all good & working. New call in 2019 ... "invalid license".

Some hint for an old man who just tries to make things working like they did in the past?

Maybe just try re-generate it at http://rationalqm.us/licensing.html, that has always worked for me but since I retired from encoding I can't tell if it still works today, I guess it does.

Most probably; Donald Graft changed the license generating code a few times, including or excluding some machine specs. Regenerating license keys should be pretty generous for registered users. If you fear exceeding the limit, just ask him.

This post touches on what hardware is used for the license in newer versions
As has been said, just regenerate the license with the newer slipstream

@Didée

Respect and admiration! So good to see you posting and may the divine be with you.

As members have pointed out get your new machine ID and then use the licensing page. I did change the security method several times, requiring regeneration of licenses. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We'll all help you get things going. And then you can bring your magic back to us. Would you like to make some CUDA/CUDASynth/OpenCL filters? Shoot me a PM, we can work together. :cool:
