Way to keep DSF post processing settings

[tfh69]

As it is everytime i watch a new clip , i need to open up XVid Video Codec properties and check every option ( i have a fast comp i want to use it :) + it really makes a difference IMHO )




So i am asking if there is anyway to keep the same Xvid post processing settings for every clip . And thus not have to open up the propoerties to check everything everytime ?

In the registry maybe like divx ?

Any way please tell me if is possible and how to do it
if it's not maybe it would be a valuable addition to the next release feature list .

EDIT: Apparenlty it happens just to me SO it is in the release now but I have a problem with my set up . So developers : just ignore my post :)

Which player are you using? I use BS player 0.84rc4 and Powerdivx 3.12 and I never have to change xvid's post processing settings (unless I want them off - BS player might not save it's settings but uses the settings saved when using powerdivx). The DSF post processing settings are saved in registry in local machine somewhere (I think).

I use WMP 6.4 and apparently it doesn't save settings anywhere cos i have to reod everything everytime :(

[DaveEL]

Hmm mine save the settings in Mplay 6.4 with ogm file so im not sure what the problem is.

Try importing the attached file into your registry which should set them all to on.

Did you click on the APPLY button once you have selected all the options? I have no problem saving the settings by doing that. It even remembered after I've uninstalled the DSF from the system and reinstall the newer version.

Thanks for the reg file . Well now mediaplayer always starts with these options in post processing but if i change one then it doesn't keep it either when i start another movie it goes back to the settings i manually set with your .reg file .

But again apparently it happened just to me . So i have edited my post , but if anybody has an idea why my settings aren't saved in registr plz tell me ( and i do have administrators rights )


Thanks

@tfh69:

I can confirm your problems. My settings also don't stay, every time I play a new movie all settings are unchecked again.

Same for me, maybe a tiny bug ?

[debris]

The "load defaults" button in the codec resets the DSF's settings, too. Maybe that's the problem. IMHO the codec shouldn't affect the DSF's settings.

I Suppose I'd better field this question...

This is a really bizzare problem, as the three machines I use do not show this problem, but Ive never tried another player other than WMP.

The problem is the filter saves its settings when unloaded, I can only assume, on some systems and/or players, its not being unloaded properly & hence fails.

Hence, ill change the code so that as soon as you change a setting the registry details are saved. That way, you will never loose your settings...

...Its late now, & im with a client all tomorrow..So I wont be able to do much for a while. Sorry for the problems....But ill fix them :)
(I've had the worse hangover all day, so hence no update... :( )
(h warns me about Foster's but I just don't listen :D )

ps
The Apply button only effects/applies the Threshold parameters.

Tried 3 different players on 2 different systems and the settings were always saved even after reboot.

Since there is now an apropriate thread for my problem, I'll post my reply here. (Originally I posted in the 20032002 build thread)

I checked with three different players (WiMP, ZoomPlayer, Sasami) on my win2k box, none of them did save the settings :(

But what I gather from this thread is this seems to be a machine/(OS?)install related problem (and I hope you forgive me for for being a bit relieved not being the only one who has this problem ;) )

P.S: I didn't yet check the registry key, because I forgot where it was supposed to be ^^' Be doing that this evening.

[avih]

could it be that certain users don't have privileges to access certain registry parts? (especially, that concern with xvid ;) )
when it comes to winnt/win2k/xp?

[Nic]

Dont worry its very easy for me to fix, should have a build for you all tomorrow :)

(I didn't realise that so many people have had problems....)

Cheers,

No, I don't think thats the problem. I have admin rights on my box. But since I'm used to funky windoze behaviour (especially when video conent is involved) i'm quite sure nic's right and some windows installs are simply unable to dispose properly of loaded filters.

[amirlsm]

Until NIC corrects the bug, you can use the attached registry patch to activat all post processing options.
To disable an option, edit the patch and change the key value to 0.

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\XviD]
"Deblock_V_C"=dword:00000001
"Deblock_V_Y"=dword:00000101
"Deblock_H_C"=dword:00010101
"Deblock_H_Y"=dword:01010101
"Dering_Y"=dword:14000101
"Dering_C"=dword:00000001

Have Fun

To all,

I tracked the problem with graphedit.
I belive the problem was coased by the Ogg Vorbis subtitle DS filter.
I uninstalled the filter and the post processing settings are now saved.

I belive that due to incompatibility of the OggSubtitle Filter, the player could not fully close the graph after playing and so the settings were not saved. Note that the subtitle DSF is automatically loaded even when there are no subtitles.

To Nic: a good workaround for similar problem in the future:
A "Save Setting Now" button in the DSF property page.

[Belgabor]

I can second that.

- deinstall SubDS: Settings get saved
- reinstall SubDS: Settings don't get saved anymore
- construct a Graph manually in GraphEdit WITHOUT adding the subtitle filter: Settings get saved

I guess Tobias should be told about that...
EDIT: I just posted the problem in the New A/V Formats forum

Try getting the latest version (27/03/02) from my site:

Hopefully ive fixed the problem, please let me know :)

Ok, everything is perfect right now: settings are saved :)
