DG NV tools

[Revgen]

In the Nvidia driver panel in the section called "Adjust Video Image Settings", there is an option to force deinterlacing to use IVTC. Is this a feature that can be incorporated into DG NVtools?

In the Nvidia driver panel in the section called "Adjust Video Image Settings", there is an option to force deinterlacing to use IVTC. Is this a feature that can be incorporated into DG NVtools? It's not available in the current NVCUVID API, so no.

[Guest]

I'll do it. I went back to my Ratatouille BD. It had 31 M2TS files to concatenate to make the full movie. I looked at the stamps for the first 4 files. In each file, the video and audio PTS both started at 11650 (units of ms). But all had more audio than video, so the desync would increase as the movie plays. By the end I had a full 512ms desync. I worked around it by adding frames periodically throughout the movie with this trick:

aud=nicac3source("file.ac3")
vid=DGSource("file.dga").changefps(23.978).assumefps(23.976) # adds 12 frames
audiodub(vid,aud)

I have only your 00068.mts with me. It too has more audio than video (20ms).

So until I think of a good solution for this, you'll have to get along with a workaround like above. At least you don't have to screw with multiple projects and manual adjustments. You just have to know the total amount of desync at the end to allow you to calculate the number of frames to add, and then tweak the changefps() parameter to add them.

[Efenstor]

aud=nicac3source("file.ac3")
vid=DGSource("file.dga").changefps(23.978).assumefps(23.976) # adds 12 frames
audiodub(vid,aud)

I'd better wait for the final solution. This workaround produces extra frames and there's no way to control where they'll be added; hence it's not for archival purposes.

[Guest]

I'd better wait for the final solution. It could only be to add frames at the end of your files. With the workaround, yes, they get added at different spots but the desync can never be more than one frame at any given time, which is not perceptible.

And to be honest, developing a proper solution for this is very low on my priority list.

What is next on your priority list for DGDecodeNV ? :P

[Guest]

It's not just the list for NV tools that is relevant; it's the list for my entire life!

I spend my limited time on either 1) things I personally need, and 2) things that affect a lot of my users.

But to answer your question, I'd like to implement multi-instance support and complete pulldown handling including frame repeats and force film mode. What would you like to see?

[Audionut]

License key entry into the registry. I always forget to copy the key to the new beta folder.

[GZZ]

I'll go for the multi-instance support and the registry thing should be pretty easy to do.

[Revgen]

Well based on my question above, what we want depends upon whatever the NVCUVID API supports. But I guess you could ask Nvidia to support it and hope they come through.

1) Multi-Instance support
2) Hardware IVTC as is shown in the NVidia control panel.
3) Hardware Edge Ehancement as shown in the Nvidia control panel.
4) Purevideo functions to be used on sources other than what dgsource decodes in avisynth. Like Huffyuv captures. I can watch huffyuv caps being deinterlaced by Purevideo by setting up FFDShow to only output to NV12 using graphedit, but I can't use NV12 colorspace in avisynth.

[GZZ]

I agree with Revgen, great list. But some of them properly require Nvidia driver update.

[nixo]

One thing I'd love to see is a way to pass hints to colormatrix.dll. I'm guessing, though, that maybe this is really a request for tritical?

[GZZ]

not sure I even understand that question nixo, what does colormatrix.dll have to do with DGDecodeNV ?

[nixo]

Check out the colormatrix documentation, specifically the "hints" and "d2v" parameters. This is for DGDecode/DGIndex of course but if at all possible, it would be cool to have the same functionality for DGDecodeNV.

[woah!]

has anyone had a nv4_mini.sys blue screen crash? i am getting them when using the resizing function at random times through encodes :(

everything seems ok as long as i dont use resize. its ok using spline36resize etc... but not from within NVtools...

this could be a failing gcard i suppose :(

[lucassp]

Try some FurMark stress testing and see if it fails there.

[woah!]

nope, card runs all tests and burnin tests ok. this has only started since the newer beta's came out with cropping/resizing. it happened in beta8 but i thought the newer nvidia drivers might have solved it, but no joy :(

its a hard crash straight to a blue screen on xp 32bit sp3... i have gone back 3 months with a old os image, i will see if maybe something got screwed lately with the OS...

[GZZ]

I have used the resize function in NV tools for like 20 movies+ (1920x1080 -> 1280x720) for BD5/9 without any problems. Try reinstall your Nvidia Driver, first uninstall, then reboot, then install, then reboot, then try again and see if it works. Also please provide the avs script you are using and also try another source and see if it works...

[vucloutr]

Hi, I'm wondering about the Nvidia resizer. Is resizing done by the GPUs shader processors or by its VP2/VP3 engine ?
In essence: would a better graphics card (more shader/higher shader clock) be beneficial (even if it is minimal) ?

PS: I made a comparison between Avisynth's and Nvidia's bilinear resizer: http://comparescreenshots.slicx.com/comparison/13231
Shouldn't they be identical ?

[halsboss]

Yuk, rebuilds are a pain with reg entries. Reg is one of the banes of life and I'd be happy to never see another. Witness what m$oft did to locking down codecs by owning reg tree entries in windoze7. Yuk.

[Inspector.Gadget]

I've begun to have an odd problem with the NV suite. Loading files into any of the NV tools results in a "GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder [100]".

I'm running a 9650M GT (ASUS) on Windows Vista SP2 x64, 4 GB RAM, newer C2D CPU. I recently updated my video card drivers to version 186.37 after relying on the 179.XX series for several months because the 185.XX series was broken on the 9650M GT. I ran Driver Sweeper before installing this latest driver, so I don't think it's a matter of conflicting .dll files. CoreAVC's CUDA works fine with these drivers.

Any suggestions, neuron2 or others, as to what my problem might be?

[GZZ]

You should update to the latest 190.62 driver as it says in the readme file. Your error is a classic driver fucked up (well atleast it was on my computer when I last got it). So try uninstall, reboot, install new driver, reboot and then see if it works.

[laserfan]

Unless you're using an older version of DGTools, you need to be upgraded to latest nvidia, which is 190.62 (see Readme.txt).

[Inspector.Gadget]

Unfortunately, the 190.xx series has not been ported to my GPU. Oddly enough, the NV tools were working fine with the 179.XX and 185.XX series (at least when the latter didn't puke). But shame on me for not consulting the readme. Thanks.

[laserfan]

Unfortunately, the 190.xx series has not been ported to my GPU.Ouch, you're right of course--not sure why that [notebook] GPU would get left behind??? Anyway sorry for my misinformation...

[Inspector.Gadget]

Not your fault, NVIDIA seems to have more difficulty than they expected getting drivers for this model that don't generate artifacting, BSODs, etc.

[woah!]

well over the last day or so i have tried many different things to solve this. prime95 is perfect over 13hrs, uninstall reinstall drivers, used revo to do that to make sure all crap was gone. system is box standard, no oc'ing and still blue screening at different times, when encoding if i say opened a mkv in mpc-hc it would crash to blue screen. now i have gone back to 190.38 drivers with beta7 and so far no issues what so ever?

seems i have reached a certain level on this system so i will stay at this until i upgrade... oh i have a 260gtx old version not the 216shader version, and a intel q9550

[GZZ]

Its hard to say what is wrong, but I dont think its DGtool. If it can crash to blue screen (blue screen of death ?) when opening a mkv file, then you have a hole other issue. My system are almost like yours, its a GTX 260 (216 core edition) and a Q9450 OCed to 3 Ghz and it have no issue at all. I'm also running Vista 64 bit.

Have you tried the Intelburntest program, its really evil (some says its better then prime and also faster). Just run it for 30 min and see if all the calculation are the same. Be aware that it will raise your CPU temperature by 20+ degress over your full load. So if your normal full load is 60 degress, then this program can raise it to 80+, so if your cooling is bad it will fail. Get it here (freeware) http://www.ultimate-filez.com/files/IntelBurnTest.zip

Crop line in NVBeta9.
Earth The Power of the Planet on BBC HD, recorded this back in Nov 2007 (1440x1088 MBAFF) and when resizing to 1280x720 with no crop, the crop line appears at the bottom of the NVBeta9 screen and the resized image.

Sample provided

102Mb

http://rapidshare.com/files/281072275/sample.ts_9

[Guest]

It appears to be that way in the source. Have you tried it in other players?

You'll have to overcrop it before the resizing.

[hxhxd]

I encountered a problem with beta9. Yesterday I encoded a dvd using x264. It took about 14 hours. The problem is CUVIDServer quited while encoding. no prompt, no log.

After checking encoded files left, I guess CUVIDServer exits after 9.4 hour from beginning.

It's hard to find some debug info. Everything look good except this.

My system is server 2008 64bit, display driver is 8.16.11.9062, 8400gs.

Any idea? Thanks!

[woah!]

was the source material maff or interlaced? were you using the resizer/deinterlacer.

[halsboss]

your website appears to have been hacked :(

[Guest]

your website appears to have been hacked :( I don't see any problem with it. Can you tell me why you think it was hacked?

[deets]

any chance of having a drop down for resizing, with some presets or some way to enter the info in the prog without having to edit the avs file?

[halsboss]

Sure, http://neuron2.net/ has this on the front page and on other pages. Noticed it on the PC at work and then as well as the PC at home... firefox on both, noscript active adblockplus active.

Oh, I was notified today by email of the change in the first place by "watchthatpage.com" and it listed some of that too.

[Guest]

A case of "google poisoning". Pop that into Google for a real horror show.

At least they didn't destroy anything. It'll take me a while to clean all that stuff off.

In the meantime, I have refreshed beta 9 with an update to the CUVID server. If an encode is violently killed, previously the server would lock up and require a task manager kill. Now, its Exit function continues to work, and it should recover itself within 4 seconds of the violent kill such that killing it should not be necessary. So redownload beta 9 and get CUVIDServer.exe. Please advise if this change causes any problems.

[nautilus7]

Thanks for the update. Had to kill the server manually as you describe a few times yesterday, so this is very good. I'll test when my current encoding is complete.

[aegisofrime]

neuron2 sir, any advice for those of us that are stuck with the program not working on mobile GPUs?

[Guest]

Maybe if you can tell me the specific chipset you have. Is it supposedly supported according to the table of supported GPUs that I link at my page?

[Guest]

any chance of having a drop down for resizing, with some presets or some way to enter the info in the prog without having to edit the avs file? I don't want to implement the resizing in DGxxxIndexNV.

[nautilus7]

Speaking of resizing... is there any option to choose what resize algorithm (bilinear, etc) to use? Currently i use Spline36resize() in avisynth and it gives slightly better output (quality wise) than the gpu's.

[Guest]

No choice.

[nautilus7]

OK, i think i can live with that... The difference between these 2 algorithms (spline36 and gpu's bilinear - from 1080p to 720p) is only visible when comparing still frames zoomed @ 200%. :D

[Guest]

I agree. Especially for downsizing, I never saw much advantage to use the fancier algorithms.

[aegisofrime]

Maybe if you can tell me the specific chipset you have. Is it supposedly supported according to the table of supported GPUs that I link at my page?

I have a G105M. While it's not on the table, it's supposed to be a newer 9300M and I'm also pretty sure it supports VP3. I have the same error as Inspector Gadget: GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder [100], and I'm running the latest drivers that nVidia has: 186.81.

[GZZ]

Nvidia 190.62 is the latest driver, did you try this one ?
