DGDecNV 2043 release Candidate

[Guest]

Here is a release candidate for 2043. Please beat up on it and report any issues here. Thank you.

[link removed as 2043 has been released]

Build 2043
----------

* Support DXVA mode. Note that DXVA mode requires D3D mode to be enabled.

* Add support for AVC field order reporting.

* Implement field order reporting on preview (used to be done only on save project).

* Make field/frame repeats display in display order in the info dialog (previously was incorrectly
shown in decode order).

* Correct inaccuracies in film percentage reporting.

* Report more information in the 'Options/List GPU Devices' dialog, including the VP engine version.

* Initial window size of DGIndexNV is increased to 488 x 320.

* Added a fun anime public-domain splash screen.

* Revised the INI file version handling so that an existing INI file isn't defaulted by a new
DGIndexNV version unless the INI file format actually changed.

* Progress percentage is now reported to standard output during save project as in DGIndex.

* Fixed a bug that caused the wrong frame size to be written to the DGI file if cropping was
first enabled and then disabled.

* Fixed a bug such that an Avisynth script was created even though script creation was disabled.

* Update documents for latest functionality.

Thanks for the new release. I was reading through the "DGIndexNVManual" and it states:

Decode_Modes=0/1/2,0/1/2,0/1/2: The order of the parameters corresponds to AVC video, MPEG2 video, and VC1 video. A value of 0 selects CUVID decoding; a value of 1 selects CUDA decoding; a value of 2 selects DXVA decoding. For example, "Decode_Modes=0,1,0" causes CUDA to be used for MPEG2 video and CUVID for AVC and VC1 video. By default, CUVID is used for all video types. Note that DXVA decoding produces much better quality deinterlacing but also requires D3D mode (you must have UseD3D=1).

When I run DGIndexNV for the first time it creates the settings file. In the file the default is "Decode_Modes=0,1,0" which if I understand correctly the default is CUVID decoding for AVC and VC1 and CUDA for MPEG2. Right?

Also did the command line behavior change in this release? I am seeing a lot of information on the cmd screen that I didn't see before.

"C:\Program Files\DGIndexNV\DGIndexNV.exe" -i "E:\Work\The_Lorax.h264" -o "E:\Work\The_Lorax.dgi" -h

I'll fix the doc discrepancy; thank you for pointing it out, rack04, and for all your helpful feedback over the years. I am a stickler for accurate documentation and so I really do appreciate reports like your's.

The change list in the post above your's mentions the progress reporting to standard out. If it bothers you or creates problems for batch files, then redirect standard out to NUL.

What is it for DOS?

>NUL

I believe. If that is not sufficient, let me know and we'll work something out.

Does that mean that in the future frameserving with AMD cards will also be possible.

Does that mean that in the future frameserving with AMD cards will also be possible. No, it does not.

[hajj_3]

is it not possible to make DGDecNV using OpenCL as that would allow intel/amd/nvidia to work?

[Guest]

Maybe, but I'm never going to do it, simply because it I have no personal need for it and my available time is already claimed by other things.

BTW, 2043 has been released.
