H.264 DXVA Benchmarks: QuickSync vs UVD 2.2 vs VP4 vs VP5

[NikosD]

Latest update with LAV Video x64 0.64 in DXVA native and pure decode mode, using latest ASICs like VP7 from Nvidia GTX 960 and QuickSync 3 from Haswell.

Added also AMD Polaris RX 470 results and just one result of Pascal GTX 1060 VP8 decoder.

All Intel CPUs from Haswell to Kabylake have exactly the same 4K HW H.264 decoder, they differ only in clock speed.

Take a look here:

I've recently flashed my Radeon 5750 BIOS with 6750 BIOS.

The two cards use the same UVD2.2

But it seems that 6750 BIOS on a 5750, can lead to a UVD2.2 overclocking.

The default 5750 BIOS put UVD2.2 in standard UVD mode at Core/GPU = 400MHz / 900MHz
The 6750 BIOS on a 5750 card, put UVD2.2 in 3D mode at Core/GPU = 710MHz / 1160MHz

So I have two UVD2.2 systems benchmarked.
One plain UVD2.2 (400/900) and one UVD2.2 OC (710/1160)

I did my tests with the new DXVA checker x86 v2.7.0 http://bluesky23.yukishigure.com/en/index.html

Two systems tested:

1) My signature system:
Win 7 x64 SP1 - C2D@2.83 GHz - Radeon (6)750 - Catalyst 12.1 preview,

RAM configuration for AMD system: (mostly for DXVA-CB comparisons)

4GB (2 x 2GB) of DDR2 at FSB: DRAM = 1:1
Speed = 4-4-4-12@566 MHz (283x2)

2) Intel/ Nvidia system:
Win 7 SP1 x86 - Core i5-2400 (3.1GHz) - Geforce GT 440 (DDR5) - Nvidia beta 290.53 - Intel HD 2000 - Intel drivers v.2622

RAM configuration for Intel/ Nvidia system: (mostly for DXVA-CB comparisons, QuickSync decoder)

4GB (2 x 2GB) of DDR3 at FSB: DRAM = 1:5
Speed = 9-9-9-24@1338 MHz (669x2)

The decoders used are:

CoreAVC 3.0.1 (both modes - DXVA native, NVCUVID)

LAV Video 0.47 (in all modes - DXVA2 native, DXVA2 copy-back, NVCUVID, QS)

MS DS/MFT

FFDShow v4322 (QS)


For VC-1/ WMV3 I used the AMD Playback Decoder MFT and for CPU results I used the built-in WMVideo Decoder DMO (because is faster than LAV slow VC-1/WMV decoder)


I used five Reference H.264 files from here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=159486

and I added five new reference files.

You can find every sample posted (from 1 to 10) here:

9.Ducks.Take.Off.1080p30fpsRef5-108Mbps

10.Crowd.Run.1080p25Ref4-116Mbps


Also I used VC-1 and WMV3 files from here:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=156660


For CPU results (Core 2 Duo - Core i5) I used LAV Video 0.47.

Every benchmark mode used EVR renderer.


The results:

First is the Video Processor - QuickSync (QS), UVD2.2, VP4, CPU etc

Second is the decoder - MS DS (Microsoft's DirectShow), MS MFT (Microsoft's Media Foundation), LAV Video etc

Third is the decoder's mode - Native DXVA, Copy-Back (CB) DXVA, Quicksync (QS) etc

Comments:

1) The performance of QuickSync HW is beyond any competition, using native DXVA mode with every decoder used (MS DS/MFT, CoreAVC, LAV NATIVE).

The performance of copy-back mode using Intel's MSDK QuickSync decoder v0.28 software (FFDshow, LAV QS) is heavily multi-threaded and optimized but for some reason is a lot slower than QS decoder v0.20 (more than 20%) and a lot slower from DXVA2 native with the above system configuration in high frame rate clips - 60fps and/or low bitrate clips (Clips 1 to 6)

But it's very good and sometimes faster than native DXVA when used for high birate - low frame rate clips (Clips 7 to 10)

The performance of LAV DXVA2 copy-back is simply awful. It's slower than VP5 most of the times!

For laptop users, or for people who want their CPU and GPU load as low as possible during playback mode, native DXVA2 decoders (MS DS/MFT, CoreAVC, LAV NATIVE) are BY FAR the most efficient decoders.

2) VP5 is about 2 times faster than VP4 in "easy" low bitrate clips from 1 to 6. But it's more than 3 times faster in "difficult" high bitrate clips from 7 to 10, as it is built for 4K x 2K decoding. For those huge bandwidth clips, it closes the gap with QuickSync, but the distance is still obvious.

3) VP4 has a lot of problems at huge bandwidths starting from clip 7 up to 10 like 5750 UVD2.2, although the latter is a little faster. It seems absolutely reasonable for Nvidia to go for VP5 in order to support 4K x 2K and large bandwidths.
UVD2.2 OC can play easily every clip from 1 to 10!

4) UVD2.2 OC is about 35% - 42% faster than 5750 UVD2.2 in H.264 and 32% faster in VC-1/WMV3 and it's faster than VP4 and Core2Duo too in bandwidth heavy files starting from clip 7.

[pirlouy]

Interesting results.
If I'm not wrong, after flashing your BIOS, all sample can be read without dropped frames (fps always > sample fps).

Not the kind of stuff I'd try with my 5770 though. :-)

[NikosD]

Only VP5 results are missing...

I would like to see some results especially for clips from 7 to 10.

[wanezhiling]

clip 3 4 5 6... I doubt the result.

Use PotPlayer DXVA, AMD never reach 60fps, even on HD6990... nVidia and Intel are 60 easily~

Don't!

Flashing 5750 BIOS with 6750 BIOS put UVD 2.2 in a "special" PowerPlay mode with 3D clocks (core:710 MHz/ Memory:1160 MHz - Sapphire Vapor-X edition).

So there is an overclock to UVD2.2, only allowed in this strange situation (5750 flashed by 6750 BIOS)

When I tried to edit my 5750 BIOS in order to work in UVD mode at 3D clocks like the flashed 5750, it worked but with no performance advantage.

The only solution seems to be a flashed 5750 card.

I don't have a real 6750 card to check.

And VP4 going to 93% to 97% utilization during playback in PotPlayer DXVA for 5th and 6th clip is not easily!

1) Using PotPlayer you don't need Fraps.
PotPlayer has internal statistics and file information activated by pressing Tab key.

2) Your second file called "SNSD_-_Tell_Me_Your_Wish_(Genie)" is EXACTLY the same file called "Girls" the 4th clip of my collection. It took me 30 minutes to download the same clip I had.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to what I write at my first post, read the whole text, download the files and CHECK THINGS by YOURSELF.

3) Your first file is a little strange.
Although it reaches bitrates up to 188Mbps, it is not that difficult after all.

But it crashes MS MFT decoder in DXVA checker.

5750 MS DS 54/56/60

6750 MS DS 72/75/79

As you can see it's completely playable under (6)750

4) You should notice the performance of (6)750 not only in clips from 3 to 6, but from 7 to 10 which are unplayable by 5750 UVD and VP4 in realtime.

They are more difficult clips that show the performance of (6)750 and make the difference from 5750 UVD and VP4.

Maybe AMD graphics card holders should make some "noise" with my accidental finding, about how AMD "handles" UVD2.2/UVD3 in their cards.

Take a look here:

How is it possible for UVD3 to accelerate 4K x 2K video files with 238Mbps bitrate and 14% CPU usage and the same card cannot play 1080p60 ???

[wanezhiling]

Fraps is useful, I don't like PotPlayer's OSD info, it has many mistakes..

"It took me 30 minutes to download the same clip I had." --> My fault:p
Cuz it really shocked me when I glanced at your (6)750's performance...
I never reach 60fps with "HD6850 + PotPlayer DXVA" just like 5750, so maybe I should flash my BIOS to test this again..

6750 MS DS 72/75/79 --> What I can say is congratulation~

In fact, I had made this comparison(PureVideo VS QuickSync VS UVD) for several times on my forum, I got same result with you except (6)750 .:)
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1546068#post1546068 This is VP5 DXVA 2160P from my forum,you must remember it.:)

btw, I hate english!:devil:as a remote eastern person, I can understand every word you say, but..:devil:

[NikosD]

For me - 5750 UVD2.2 - it's not working even though DXVA checker says about the Device decoders:

"ModeH264_VLD_NoFGT: DXVA2, 720x480 / 1280x720 / 1920x1080 / 3840x2160"
"ModeH264_VLD_NoFGT_Flash: DXVA2, 720x480 / 1280x720 / 1920x1080 / 3840x2160"

So from the side of hardware and driver, UVD 2.2 is capable of 4K x 2K and if CoreAVC DXVA is capable of 4K x 2K, as it is clearly seen by your screenshots, then the problem must be an artificial restriction in everything else but VP5 inside the code of CoreAVC DXVA.

DXVA checker reports for clips beyond 1080p and CoreAVC DXVA the following:

"ModeUnknown (NV12): DXVA1 (VMR)"

and of course it's not working.

Weren't you guys talking about 6750, which isn't the same card at all. 6750 has UVD 2.2, but the agile-news article is about 6570, which has UVD 3.

I was referring to a previous comment of Wanezhiling


Use PotPlayer DXVA, AMD never reach 60fps, even on HD6990... nVidia and Intel are 60 easily~

It is true BTW.

Take whatever 5xxx or 6xxx card and try to run a demanding 1080p60fps clip in any player you want.
I don't have a real 6xxx card but take a look here when renq tried the first 3 clips:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1489378#post1489378

I rewrite the results of UVD3 here by renq:

DIVX ver is 9.01.21
Arcsoft ver 2.27.319.108
FFDShow DXVA ver is 3800

All post-processing turned OFF.

1. Clip
MS MFT - 48/57/85
DIVX DXVA - 48/58/85
Arcsoft - 45/57/69
Ffdshow - 44/57/70

2. Clip
DIVX - 38/48/75
MS DTV/DVD - 31/48/86
Arcsoft - Wouldn't play
FFDSHow - Same

3. Clip
DIVX - 51/57/84
MS DTV/DVD - 48/57/79
Arcsoft - 53/57/64
ffdshow - 54/57/71

So when you see the original UVD2.2 performance by 5750 and the performance of UVD3 posted above which is the same as of 5750, how is it possible the same UVD3 card to perform like here:

http://www.agile-news.com/news-323468-Photo:-no-fear-of-4K-x-2K!-Fire-whirlwind-2-HD6570-2G-Daniel-Edition-hardware-solution-2160p!.html

In fact I can't actually even play in DXVA mode a simple clip beyond 1080p like 2048 x 1200 in any combination of codec/player I have tried.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm looking for a suitable H.264 DXVA codec and player (DXVA checker is fine for me) to check the performance in 4K x 2K of "original" UVD2.2, my "Frankenstein" UVD2.2+ and UVD3, VP5 by other users.

Also I'm trying to say that the perfomance of UVD2.2 and UVD3 is burried by AMD by not suitable BIOS/ drivers.

I would really like to know the codec and player used by http://www.agile-news.com to play in DXVA mode 4K x 2K video clip file with UVD3

Which is your forum ?
A Chinese PotPlayer fan's forum, I'm not administrator,just a moderator.
I totally agree with your interesting things: QS's amazing speed, VP4's poor performance at huge bandwidths(I only have Duck takes off 1080p30p), AMD never reach 60fps expect your (6)750 and so on.
Because I tested hd3850 - m hd4650 - hd5770 - hd6850, 8600gt - 9300m gs - gt240 - gts450, I5 2300(hd2000)

Do you have access on VP5 hardware or could someone else from your forum post some benchmark results for clips 1 to 10 or at least 7 to 10 ?
I had contacted the geforce 410m's owner (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1546068#post1546068), but he say he had deleted those samples(screenshots) which I given to him..
And I had to tell you one thing: we can't download clips 1 to 10, we even cannot browse those download link page because of national policy...sigh...
Fortunately, 410m's owner promised me to re-download 2 sample(Duck takes off 1080p30p and clip4"girls"). Tomorrow I will post his benchmark results here.:)


I found you always look for a way to make AMD's 4k x 2k, my notebook, m hd4650, DXVA checker also says it support 3840x2160...but even on HD6850, I never seen it decoded 2160p, I only seen BSOD....:devil:

No, VP5 can't decode 4K x 2K by CoreAVC DXVA. CoreAVC CUDA is ok. you can see that screenshots. In fact besides CoreAVC CUDA, VP5 can docode 4K x 2K by PotPlayer self DXVA(note: old version,at least before 2011.11), TMT5, MainConcept(Broadcast) AVC/H.264 deocoder.

[nevcairiel]

Think about one thing: 410M is a so "weak" graphics card, imagine if GTX560ti is VP5:D

The speed of the card is of little importance for progressive video.
The Video decoder is separate from the 3D engine, and always runs at the same speed. Its not faster in faster cards.
Assuming there is enough memory bandwidth, every card using VP5 should run at the same speed.

For example (from VP4):
A GT430 and a GTX570 have the same video decoding performance, despite their massive differences in 3D power.

Anyhow, NVIDIA said that VP5 would be double the speed of VP4 approximately.
Sadly, thats still way below the Intel decoder. And IVB which is coming in 3-4 month will once again increase that performance.
Now all Intel has to do is improve their drivers and iron out the last remaining issues. :)

This is maybe true for Video decoder hardware inside Nvidia cards and ATI cards (with the exception of my Frankenstein (6)750 card), but it's not true for Intel Video Hardware.

For ATI and 5xxx series I know that UVD2.2 clocks are 400MHz for Video processor and 900 MHz for memory.

For AMD and 6xxx series (including 67xx cards) I assume that UVD2.2/UVD3 is clocked at the same frequency of 400/900 MHz, from the performance I see by UVD3.

From my GT440 I see that VP4 is clocked at max 3D clocks of the card.
I know nothing about other VP4 cards, but I believe Nevcariel saying that they all clock at the same speed (frequency).

So for progressive video - not interlaced - the pure video decoding performance will be the same for every AMD/ Nvidia graphics card using the same video processor, assuming there are no tricks from AMD/ Nvidia regarding BIOS/drivers for specific models and cards (favoring specific models over some others by clocking the video processor to different speeds for example)

For the interlaced video, the deinterlacing process is executed by GPU shaders or computational units or whatever name you call them.
So the GPU performance in general and not video processor alone, does matter for interlaced video.

Also GPU performance does matter regarding video processing like De-noise, De-blocking, Edge-Enhancement etc.
These post-processing filters and many more are executed by AMD GPU shaders at hardware/driver level for AMD cards.
Of course those kind of video filters and many others can be executed by software like FFDshow in the CPU if you have a weak graphics card and a powerful processor.

For Intel the QuickSync video engine has the same speed of the GPU inside the processor, which varies from 650 MHz for the low end processors, up to 1350 MHz for the upper class processors working in GPU turbo mode.
For example my Core i5-2400 uses QS from 850 MHz to 1100MHz when Core i7-2600K uses the same QS from 850 MHz to 1350 MHz.
So for Intel hardware the choice of the CPU/GPU has some difference in the performance of video decoders.


Anyhow, NVIDIA said that VP5 would be double the speed of VP4 approximately.
Sadly, thats still way below the Intel decoder. And IVB which is coming in 3-4 month will once again increase that performance.


From the figures of Wanezhiling it seems that for "easy" clips - meaning clips with low bitrate like 4. Girls - VP5 has less than double the performance of VP4.
But for "heavy" clips with huge bitrates like 9. Ducks, VP5 has more than 3 times the performance of VP4 which is great.
Because VP5 seems to be a very well balanced video processor, pushing the performance figures where it is needed - to large bitrates required by 4K x 2K and special encoded clips like from 7 to 10 in my collection.
And for those clips - 7 to 10 - the performance of VP5 is close to QS 1st generation.

Of course Ivy will extend the gap even more in order to support multiple 4K x 2K streams simultaneously and 4K x 4K (square resolution)

[wanezhiling]

nev, NikosD, I really appreciate it that you correct my wrong opinion.:thanks:

And I always wonder know this reason (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1529788#post1529788)... Since the ForceWare 285.62, this became worse and worse...:(

btw, can you tell me the principle of Intel's amazing speed(more than several times the performance of nVidia/AMD)? Thx.

[NikosD]

btw, can you tell me the principle of Intel's amazing speed(more than several times the performance of nVidia/AMD)? Thx.

This is a hard question to be answered in detail and very technical.

Maybe Egur (Eric Gur) at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1523738#post1523738 can answer this with the help of "inside" Intel information.

First of all Intel's MFX engine (QS) has an obvious advantage over UVDx and VPx.

Greater speed (frequency).

MFX works in the range of 850 MHz - 1100 MHz for most of the desktop processors.
AMD UVD2.2 works at 400MHz ! with no dynamic change of frequency, which means that no matter if you play or benchmark a clip (full load), UVD2.2 always works at 400 MHz

UVD3, VP4 and I'm sure VP5 have dynamic change of working frequency depending on the load.
VP4 reaches 820MHz during benchmarking (full load).

Of course it's not only about frequency, for example because of the integration inside a very fast processor MFX can take advantage of very fast access to memory/ caches.

In general I could say that your question seems of the same principle as of saying why SandyBridge is faster than Bulldozer, or why AMD 79xx series graphics cards (Tahiti architecture) are faster than Nvidia's 5xx series (GF110 architecture)

Of course Sandy, Bulldozer, Southern Island, GF110 architecture chips are extremely complicated chips inside, they are monsters with billions transistors, but executing in the end the same kind of x86 instructions (more or less) for CPU and same kind of D3D, OpenGL, OpenCL instructions for GPUs but with a much different way between different architectures.

Video processors like VP4/5, UVD2.2/3, QuickSync - to be more exact the video decoding/encoding engine of QuickSync is called MFX engine (Multi-Format Codec) - are a lot lot simpler processors than a modern CPU or a GPU processor.

They use fixed function logic, not general purpose logic like CPUs and GPUs (in our days), and they have a form of an ASIC.

They do actually just one thing but they do it extremely fast with very low power consumption, comparing to CPU when you see the low frequency and low number of transistors used by Video processors.

That thing is decoding Video compression algorithms like MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1.

If you study those algorithms you will see that most of the resources needed to decode them are used for Inverse Discrete Cosine Transformations (iDCT) which is a mathematical equation/ transformation.

So if we go deeper, the performance of MFX engine as of every fast video decoder has to do about how quickly performs iDCT, but of course this is a very simple approach of video processor performance.

For example VP5 increased the performance of huge bitrate video clips much more than low bitrate comparing to VP4.
That point has to do with internal changes to access in memory/ caches and wider buses etc.

We need hardware experts and specialized knowledge to go deeper from here, I think!

Thanks NikosD, I have got some useful info by your words.

Nice work !

If you are sure that the owner of VP5 has done the tests 3 times in a row for each clip and he didn't take the figures by the first run, I can put the results to my first post to be easily compared with the rest of the hardware.

In order to bench MS MFT you have to install an MFT splitter for MKV files.
The only one I know and use is the DivX MFT splitter for MKV video container.
For MOV and MP4 containers, Win 7 has built-in MFT Splitter support.

[CruNcher]

I wonder how much of that is stolen from my decoder, you know, they aren't known for inventing their own stuff. :p

Hehe though there where also already nvcuvid based Decoder from Asia before yours and even CoreCodecs but alot of those operate in the dark or have no real feedback chain or doesn't want foreign feedback @ all and so they are staying crap except implementations of the bigger isvs ;) Most improvements due to feedback came from Donald (Doom9) anyways and found their way into the Driver and so got pushed to everyone in the ecosystem early on :)
I don't think Potplayer needs to steal that (their Direct3D Render and XML GUI implementations seem also very unique, not sure where they should have stolen that) whoever works on the DXVA part seems to know what hes doing quiet well so surely he will have had no problems implementing nvcuvid and for sure MSDK is next ;D
It's true they steal or better borrow a lot of the subtitle stuff from MPC-HCs development though ;)

And even if it's stolen they put the pieces together (ffmpeg,dxva,splitter,subtitle,gui,Osd, now they start with 3rd party apis) very efficiently and advance very fast as a whole in one Media Player :)

compared to their Asian competition like Baofeng or KMP (older potplayer integration) they advance faster especially in stability :)

The developer adds a DXVA compatibility check like MPC-HC because of the feedback about BSOD.
But the truth is that PotPlayer cancelled the support of beyond 1080,not a DXVA compatibility check!..sigh..

and if they are going to support it in next versions including ATI's hardware UVD2.2/3 and not only VP5 ?

Thanks!

I' ll put the results in the first post.

I tried the player the moment it got out, but with no luck.
I forced it to always use for every resolution DXVA and I got a fullscreen GREEN frame during DXVA H.264 playback, but otherwise the playback is normal.

I can hear the sound and the slider is moving with the right speed and I get realtime fps/playback for most of my 4K x 2K clips.
Also PotPlayer says that is using DXVA during H.264 4K playback.

The same Green frame appears when I enable DXVA MPEG2_VLD and DXVA MPEG4ASP_VLD with the help of DXVA checker from within hidden features of the driver.

It seems that all these features (MPEG2 VLD, MPEG4 ASP VLD and H.264 over 1080) are not "officially" supported by UVD2.2, although you can enable them in the drivers.

Try it the new PotPlayer with VP5 and I'm curious if someone could try it with UVD3.

So is my m hd4650(UVD2.0).. And I saw BSOD again when playing a 4K x 2K sample.:devil:

HD6850 really could DXVA MPEG4ASP by PotPlayer DXVA, Click this (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201201/05/2241151stzspeskzwsrjsw.jpg).;) In fact UVD3.0 could do this by TMT5, AMD Hardware MFT Playback Decoder(AMDhwDecoder.dll) and so on.

nVidia VP4/VP5 also can DXVA MPEG4ASP only by LAV CUVID Decoder (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=160290)

We have tested VP5, nothing changed~~ It's still easy to DXVA 2160P (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1546068#post1546068):cool:
Offer a new figure "Girls 2160p (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201201/05/2231341lwsgsswqeezqoww.jpg)", this sample is horrible 120fps.. VP5 can only decode up to 30fps..sigh..

Once I had a chance to test a HD6850, I tried every player/decoder I know to play 4K x 2K, but with no luck.. The only succeed one is a 1440p sample, click this (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201109/24/2217435znkoorncncarcov.jpg). but only 32fps..
PS: VP5 could reach 60fps,:cool: click this (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201201/05/2231358ga877p8v5v5ba2j.jpg)

Although HD4650 uses UVD2.2, it's not the same as 5750 UVD 2.2 which is not the same as 6750 UVD2.2!
It's been since last summer to see a BSOD for that reason.


I also can enable DXVA MPEG2_VLD and DXVA MPEG4ASP_VLD with the help of DXVA checker,but there's nothing but greenscreen..


Me too


nVidia VP4/VP5 also can DXVA MPEG4ASP only by LAV CUVID Decoder (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=160290)


LAV CUDIV as a separate decoder doesn't exist anymore.
Nevcariel put LAV CUVID inside LAV Video, but without porting MPEG4 ASP capability

No, mine is not HD4650(UVD2.2), it's Mobility HD 4650(UVD2.0). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder

Do you know this (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201201/06/004128cmmgggyg7y7mu1ma.jpg)? It seems that WMVideo Decoder only support IDCT, not VLD...

[NikosD]

I don't use e2dk, so I have managed to download only the YouTube version which is a "light" one.

Only 30fps at 3840 x 2160 and 42.5 Mbps file.
It's 1 GB.

I can play it in DXVA mode with pure sound and Green frame at full speed though.

The original is 120 fps 3840 x 2160 and 100Mbps file.
The size is 2.52GB for 3 minutes :)

I'll keep trying to find it.

Yes Microsoft's decoders do not provide VC-1/ WMV3 VLD DXVA acceleration that's why AMD offers its own AMD Playback decoder MFT for VC1/ WMV3 and AMD Hadware MFT Playback Decoder for MPEG4 ASP

The way to download them (http://we.pcinlife.com/data/attachment/forum/201201/06/012533pk55ajryualyb2z5.png) You also can use download manager software like IDM:)

Thanks!

I have already found it in Mediafire in 15 parts.
I'm in the end now and yes I use IDM too.

PotPlayer can't DXVA WMV3 for AMD :devil:


The reason PotPlayer doesn't offer WMV3 acceleration is because it supports only iDCT and MoComp, not VLD.
On the other hand, AMD's hardware supports only VLD for VC-1/WMV3.
So...

As I have said to tetsuo55, WMV3 and VC-1 are fully compatible.
So if one has DXVA VLD support for VC-1 it could use the same decoder for WMV3.

I don't know if MPC-HC has corrected that - because they have VC1 VLD support but they didn't seem to use it for WMV3, but PotPlayer for an unknown reason to me, doesn't want to offer VLD acceleration for WMV3 as it does for VC-1

[wanezhiling]

but PotPlayer for an unknown reason to me, doesn't want to offer VLD acceleration for WMV3 as it does for VC-1
AMD's hardware supports only VLD for WMV3 by AMD Playback decoder(MFT)

PotPlayer doesn't support MFT, just DS.

DXVA Checker never say AMD has ModeWMV9_IDCT, this is why PotPlayer doesn't offer WMV3 DXVA support for AMD.

It seems that you have misunderstood something...

If you run DXVA checker, it shows the Decoder devices installed by the driver for the underline hardware UVD2.2.

So for UVD2.2 it doesn't have WMV9 AT ALL.
It has only VC-1.
So, in order to accelerate WMV3 files in either DS or MFT you have to use VC-1 decoder device.
But the VC-1 decoder device, the ModeVC1_VLD you see in DXVA Checker is VLD ONLY.

It doesn't matter if you use DS or MFT VC-1 decoder to accelerate WMV3.
The only things that matter for WMV3 acceleration are:

1) Use VC-1 decoder device, because there is no WMV9
2) Use it in VLD mode ONLY.

AMD installs an MFT VC-1/WMV3 decoder which uses VC1_VLD

PotPlayer, if you check the "Built-in video decoder settings" has three options for WMV3:

1) Disable
2) IDCT
3) MoComp

It should have a 4th option:

4) VLD (bit stream decoder) like VC-1 which is below WMV3 settings

Check the DXVA preferences of the built-in video decoder settings and you will understand better what I'm saying to you.

Can you benchmark ffdshow-QS on the VC1 and wmv9 clips?

As soon as I get my ASUS mobo back from RMA, I'll (re)test all the 10 clips and perhaps some more on the 6950's UVD3 ;)

I updated the VC-1 results but I didn't have the choice inside FFDShow video decoder settings of Intel QuickSync for WMV3 files.

The QuickSync WMV3 decoder is a software decoder, and its rather slow, so don't bother with that. ;)

This time it took me 4 emails only :)
Did you try it for ATi cards ?

Because initially they told me that only Nvidia cards could benefit from WMV9 VLD.

I'll try it myself later when I will have access to my ATi card again.

[wanezhiling]

I had tried on my m hd4650 and gt240, yep, VLD, Cheers~~;)

PS: Intel is still IDCT...(why?)
