Media Center (Vista) and DXVA plus subtitles
For many people with an (not so powerful) HTPC and using a LCD TV (Full HD-or HD Ready)as a display, it would be very useful to play all kinds of videos with less CPU usage and , what is very important, the player used shoud be easy remoteable.
Media Center is such a player. Of course you can get DXVA in MC with various set-ups , but try this one too: Download latest FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder (2010-01-28 Rev3233) from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout During instalation chose to enable DXVA (optional "no compatibility check" option). If you want to use the internal subtitle filter(for BD Rips +subs- H264-mkv or m2ts) of that decoder you have to enable postprocessing. For DXVA to work ,external subtitle filters should not load(ex. VS filter). Choose font size (40-50). Now load the file with Media Center . For me ( Intel E1600 ,an HD3650 ,2Gb Ram,Vista 32bit, ATI 10.1 drivers) this set up works very well. Any feedback would be highly apreciated. Last edited by edigee; 13th February 2010 at 14:28. |

I was refering to Media Center. In MPC-HC do not tick "auto-load subtitles" in Playback section if you really want to use that option(ffdshow subtitles). Better stick with MPC-HC 's own subtitle renderer ,though. Last edited by edigee; 13th February 2010 at 13:31. |

I'm not seeing this. Could you please post up a link to a screenshot of this setting?
I know ffdshow Video Decoder has internal subtitle support, but ffdshow DXVA Video Decoder only seems to have a setting for Hardware acceleration and nothing else. Last edited by namaiki; 13th February 2010 at 13:33. |

You guessed wrong. Here is the official ffdshow site:

Ignore number of reference frames + surface overlay + Subtitles is a very bad combination for Intel graphics card.
There is corruption in subtitles where there is video corruption without subtitles (same corruption experienced by MPC-HC's internal DXVA filter in compatibility mode. Of course without compatibility mode, there is no DXVA. MS DTV-DVD filter can accelerate those files that require compatibility mode with [MPC-HC's internal DXVA filter/ffdshow DXVA] but without any corruption, but no internal subtitles -> have to use MPC-HC's auto-load subtitles). |

And try to use files(H264) with a lower number of reframes(<10-12). Videos with more than 12-14 ref. give me coruption too, no matter which DXVA decoder I 'm using Last edited by edigee; 13th February 2010 at 15:03. |

I'm only using Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Media Center is deleted. :X
I can't, as that is how my files are encoded. In particular, I have one file that is 12 ref frames that I always check for arifacts because I know where a couple are from watching it a lot. The MS decoder will eat it all up (with no artifacts - partial acceleration?). Last edited by namaiki; 13th February 2010 at 15:13. |
