Looks good that Huey. So you mean ArgyllCMS can use the Spyder to make color profiles? Im going to test when I got some time.

Should work.

The tutorial and the packs are still avaible here : HomeCinema-HD - Tutorial HTPC - Pack (http://www.homecinema-hd.com/intro_en.html)
You can go here to see the latest updates : News HomeCinema-HD (http://www.homecinema-hd.com/news-page-1_en.html)

You should add LAV CUVID Decoder to that guide, quite handy if you have an Nvidia Card

Hello,

I updated my HTPC tutorial (http://www.ezoden.com/htpc/4/how-to-setup-htpc-introduction) :

Update 04-12-2015

- Lastest softwares used
- Ultra HD TV (4K) start to be available so I added it
- Everything has been checked and every part that needed an update has been updated.
- MPC-HC 5.1 is now MPC-HC-Surround and MPC-HC 2.0 is now MPC-HC-Stereo.

@Jeremy33
A tip: you can use the standalone MPC-BE audio renderer (MpcAudioRenderer.ax) as a replacement for Reclock if you want to bitstream via WASAPI. Particularly useful for MPC-HC x64 version.
Install it and select it as the audio renderer in MPC-HC. After that, play a file with DTS-sound, go to the Filters-list, where it is now shown and set it up.

That can be useful I will add it to the tutorial ;)

Hi everyone.
jeremy33's site id down and his awesome tutorial "How to setup MPC-HC with ffdshow, avisynth, reclock and more - Ezoden.com" is unreachable. Webarchive, Google Cache and others have no popy of it.
Can anyone tell me where can I find that tutorial?
Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

Any chance Jeremy / jemery33's HTPC tutorial being hosted some place else ?
It seems ezoden.com has been down for quite some time :( .
Personally, I don't mind if the tutorial isn't up to date
or miss a few new tools or methods, I find it a great starting place for a proper setup.
Should it be considered lost, I would be willing to contribute to put up a tutorial written from scratch, possibly in French and in English.

Can anyone tell me where can I find that tutorial?
There are three preserved pages left, that's all I could gather :
http://archive.is/1hLdl
http://archive.is/Nz2no
http://archive.is/TvvT6

Hope someone can come up with a full reup', with due credits of course.
Or maybe compiling some CHM help files based on an offline copy would be more convenient.

Hi everyone

Attached are the ffdshow and MadVR registry settings, created per instructions from the ezoden.com website, which is now no longer active. Hope someone will have some use of it.

However, the AviSynth codes throw out errors and should be updated. Could anyone knowledgeable have a look at them and update, please? I'm currently running the latest development version of AviSynth+, so it would be great if you could also convert the code to something both recent and compatible with that version.

To make it easier for someone to have a look, here are the codes for each AviSynth preset:

#"4K - UHD - 2160p"

SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3,4)
ffdshow_source()
SetMTMode(2)
dispWidth = 1920
dispHeight = 1080
mWidth = float(last.width)
mHeight = float(last.height)
ratio = (mWidth/mHeight)
newHeight= round((dispWidth/ratio)/2)*2
newHeight > dispHeight ? Eval("""
newHeight=dispHeight
newWidth=round((newHeight*ratio)/2)*2
""") : Eval("""
newWidth=dispWidth
""")
spline64resize(newWidth,newHeight)
LSFMod(defaults="slow",ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0,strength=20)
SetMTMode(1)
GetMTMode(false) > 0 ? distributor() : last


#"HD - 1080p - Bluray"

SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3,4)
ffdshow_source()
SetMTMode(2)
dispWidth = 1920
dispHeight = 1080
mWidth = float(last.width)
mHeight = float(last.height)
ratio = (mWidth/mHeight)
newHeight= round((dispWidth/ratio)/2)*2
newHeight > dispHeight ? Eval("""
newHeight=dispHeight
newWidth=round((newHeight*ratio)/2)*2
""") : Eval("""
newWidth=dispWidth
""")
spline64resize(newWidth,newHeight)
LSFMod(defaults="slow",ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0,strength=50)
SetMTMode(1)
GetMTMode(false) > 0 ? distributor() : last



#"HD - 720p"

SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3,4)
ffdshow_source()
SetMTMode(2)
dispWidth = 1920
dispHeight = 1080
mWidth = float(last.width)
mHeight = float(last.height)
ratio = (mWidth/mHeight)
newHeight= round((dispWidth/ratio)/2)*2
newHeight > dispHeight ? Eval("""
newHeight=dispHeight
newWidth=round((newHeight*ratio)/2)*2
""") : Eval("""
newWidth=dispWidth
""")
spline64resize(newWidth,newHeight)
LSFMod(defaults="slow",ss_x=1.0,ss_y=1.0,strength=80)
SetMTMode(1)
GetMTMode(false) > 0 ? distributor() : last



#"SD - DivX", "SD - DVD" and "SD - Other"

SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(3,4)
ffdshow_source()
SetMTMode(2)
LSFMod(defaults="slow",ss_x=2.0,ss_y=2.0,strength=100)
SetMTMode(1)
GetMTMode(false) > 0 ? distributor() : last

GUYS.
One very nice Frenchman re-posted Jeremy33's tutorial here: http://forum.hardware.fr/hfr/VideoSon/Traitement-Video/ffdshow-avisynth-ezoden-sujet_151163_1.htm
Idk which version is that tutorial, because Jeremy33 improved it from time to time.
By the way, good night, MPC-HP :(

Unfortunately, like often, documentation is good if it is updated.
There's a good chance lots of users don't need these doc anymore since madVR can do all that, and more easily, even if some factors can interfere (GPU for example).

Still I would not advise ffdshow for a beginner.
