Works right of the box. But I have the CUDA SDK installed.

WinXP SP3
E6600@3.0GHz
8800 GTS 512MB
nVidia display drivers v177.84

Source: sat DVB-S2 stream (1920x1080, HP@L4.0)
FPS: 45-50
CPU: 6-11%

Nice work Donald!

it would be nice if somebody could test speed during transcoding from blu-ray -> x264 rip. (software decoding vs hardware decoding)

That can't be done until I complete DGAVCDecodeNV. Coming soon as I've already worked through all the quirks of using the GPU.

I had to delete all the dlls except nvcuvid.dll on my laptop, but I got it working on my laptop. I installed the SDK beforehand to make sure this would work. I still don't want to try anything since I have several processes -- including a scheduler --- depending on nvapi.dll that I don't feel safe replacing my system32 copy.

C2D @ 2.16 GHz
8600M GT
Vista SP1 w/ CUDA 177.84 drivers + toolkit
12 - 17% CPU
38 - 48 fps (averaging 46ish, only dips to 38 rarely)
Source: Pirates of the Carribean 3, blu-ray rip


So it's definite something went bad with my desktop. I'm going to disregard this since I'll be reinstalling XP on it anyway.


@neuron2: Let me know when you get a working copy. I'll be glad to do some beta testing for you on my laptop. My last transcode (PoTC3) took 80 hours on a 2 GHz Opteron 170. Decoding Blu-Ray + light filtering (Read: MVDegrain3) + high compression in x264 => 0.6 - 0.7 fps in x264. So, this would be a HUGE benefit to have

Works right out the box with ForceWare 177.92 (no CUDA SDK/Toolkit installed) on: 8800GT 512MB, XP SP3, C2D E8400@3,5GHz!

Ok, before I go ahead and install the CUDA kit, here are the error messages I'm getting:

- Upon opening DGAVCIndexNV, I recieve the warning message, "ERROR: cuInit failed (100)" Hit yes to continue blah blah, cancel to supress...
- Attempting to open an AVCHD video file gives me this error message, "GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder"
- When closing the program I get a warning. "cuvidDecodePicture: 400" Hit yes to continue blah blah, cancel to supress...

The two DLL files you included with the program were actually already in the SysWOW64 folder (basically System32 for 64-bit Windows OSes), and the same error messages came up before and after I replaced them. Using an 8800 GTX. I'm going to install the 3 files right now. I've done this before to test the Folding@Home GPU client so it should be no problem to install.

It's working fine for me.
worked right out of the zip on my
8600 GT (512MB)
XP x64 SP2
Phenom 9850

took 2 mins to run through my AVC .TS that's 24min @ 720p60.
the standard libavcodec version couldn't even decode these .TS files either!

while it was saving the project i was watching the process explorer graphs for it, was using 25% CPU utilization (1 core)
about 50% of the 25% was attributed to kernel times for the I/O

in play mode it does 43 fps with 20% cpu utilization, half still with kernel times

Tested a bit with a 25mbit 1080p30. With display disabled I get ~40fps with 8800gt 256mb and 10% off e6400 oc. I get 120fps with coreavc in timecodec. The cuda way should be faster however while encoding that output as well.

I found what might be a bug -- If I exit DGAVCNV while previewing a movie (disable display is checked) I simply get an error message from windows telling me the program has stopped working. No other debug info. On another note, I've also noticed the issue with half the CPU usage being towards kernel usage. Take a look here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../kernusage.png

I think those GPUs have bitstream decode only.. I could be wrong.

Yeah, I posted concerns on the main thread here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...05#post1182305. It was still worth a shot though.

I installed all the necessary files with pretty much the same errors as before. Gonna try it on my bro's 8400M GS.

CUDA is installed. Badaboom is running ok.

@crypto: what card you running? Tried the DXVA checker Donald linked to in the 1st page?

ATTENTION EVERYBODY: This does NOT work with first generation 8 series cards based on the G80 GPU. These include the 8800 GTX, 8800 GTS 320MB / 640MB, and 8800 Ultra cards, as they do not have the VP2 PureVideo decoding engine.

Those with these cards reporting them working would do well to tell me so I can edit this statement.

I still have to work out some issues with my desktop -- I'm not fully sure what's wrong with the system so it could be a number of things. My problem may or may not be related to yours.
