View Full Version : Problem with the "static DVDs menus" using Avisynth

Hi!

First post here, after trying to solve the problem by myself.

I'm using MPC-HC with LAV Splitter (video and audio decoder), FFDShow, ReClock and madVR on a Windows 7 64 bit O.S and Intel I7 860 CPU.: Avisynth is used for frame doubling and (added two day ago) Finesharp scripts.

Not problems at all when the DVDs menus have some moving backgrounds (i.e. films scene), but when they just have a static image (and this often happens with the older DVDs), I'm not able to highlight the various entries and when click on one of them the backgroud image remains the same even if I entered in the new menu (so I'm not able to go back to the previous menu or to know what selection I'm going to do in the actual one).

Trying to explain better...

Suppose to be in the main menu of a TV series DVD with 4 episodes. If I wanted to choose one of them, the highlighting doesn't follow the cursor, so I can't make my choice using the remote: I have to use the mouse and follow the cursor, clicking when it changes from the "little arrow" to the "little hand".

If I do that to change the menu (i.e. to go in the audio language and subtitles menu, or in the extras menu), the background image remains the one of the main menu, so from this moment I'm even not able to know where the menu entries are, and how to go back.

If I just uncheck the Avisynth box in FFDShow, everything works perfectly; that's what I do when I have to select an epidode from the menu, and then check it again to have frame doubling and Finesharp, but it's a little bit annoying...

Sincerly, I haven't read the more of 7 hundreds pages of the Avisynth thread, so I don't know if is a known issues or if have been solved, but could you please give me ine hand...?

Sorry for my bad English (I'm from Rome - Italy).

Best Regards. Leo!

O.K., my fault: I did a big mistake thinking that the problem was in AviSynth, just because unchecking it in FFDShow it disappears!!!

Using just the Finesharp script, everything works perfectly, so the problem is in the "frame doubler" script: more precisely, seems to be related to the buffer back/ahead.
When there is a static menu on the screen, as if the buffer isn't able to drainy and it shows the last image in it's memory, so when I try to highlight a selection the image remains the same.

Changing the values of back/ahead buffer changes the background "frozen" image just of a single frame when I try to highlight a selection, which means that when I move the cursor (or I use the remote) it's like I "forward one step" in a slow motion (I hope I have explained it in an understandable way...) but this happens just once.

If you don't have any suggestion/solution, I'll try to post the same message in the "upscaling DVDs (//http://www.avsforum.com/t/1172653/upscaling-standard-dvd-movies-to-1080p-using-ffdshow-and-your-htpc)" thread on AVSForum asking to the script author.

Best Regards! Leo!
