Or, from the quality aspect, it would be better to keep it this way and flag the recode as anamorphic.

the following were my results from encoding a 1080p avc stream croppped at resized to 1280x528 (via avisynth). I did it the three different ways that I know, of dgAVCdec , dgAVCdecNV and finally, wrapping the stream in the matroska container and loading it with directshowsource

The stream was 20 seconds and had an average bitrate of 30 and a max of 41

I am encoding with 2gb ddr2 ram, 1066mhz, a Intel CPU, Q6600 / GeForce 8800GS 384mb DDR3 ram.

1st pass 2nd pass

dgAVCdec 100a26
14.61 fps 7.55 fps

dgAVCdecNV 108
23.76 fps 8.11 fps

ffdshow-libav
19.73 fps 7.65 fps

to be quite frank, I was really expecting a bit more...

So um... I'm not a programmer but are there any plans for down the line, having the GPU handle cropping and resizing as well ?

I took the encoded 1280x528 steam, indexed and encoded it the three different ways without any resizing and got the following results.

1st pass 2nd pass

dgAVCdec 100a26
26.52 fps 9.98 fps

dgAVCdecNV 108
30.19 fps 10.14 fps

ffdshow-libav
26.96 fps 10.00 fps


So it would appear to me that offsetting the decoding of the stream itself bears very little benefit but if it could be used also to handle resizing of the image, then that would result in a 30% speed increase.

On another note, (and I did 1st do a search of the thread for "saver" and didn't find anything but i'm sure this has point has been raised before), I have had to disable the screensaver.

@jonathonsunshine: "to be quite frank, I was really expecting a bit more..." Why? Decoding normally is not the major work that needs to be done during reencoding to h264. If you use high speed settings with (--me hex, --subme 1,..) speed difference might be higher, since decoding speed will become a greater factor.

As can be seen from the first pass encoding times. Much greater difference.

I've noticed two small errors in DGAVCIndex (and NV) User Manuals, in the DGV Format section:
1-"DGAVCIndexProjectFile" should be "DGAVCIndexFile" or "DGAVCIndexFileNV"
2-"AUD 80,c0" should be "AUDIO 80,c0"

The d2v files included the colorimetry info. Is this information also included in the dga files? It's shown in the info dialog during the project creation, but I cannot find it in the dga file...

Well Frank, it might serve you well to read this.

And to get a VC-1 source filter that supports random access.

Thanks for your test results and the information about screensavers. I will ask Nvidia about your question above.

It's not in the DGA file but it is in the log file.

Thanks. I think it would be safer to also put it in the dga, in case we delete the log... but ok, I just have to be carefull and only delete the log after all the work has been done.

has development started on an ATI version of this app yet neuron or are you waiting for their equivalent of CUDA to improve or waiting for API's that will allow you to create an ATI version?

This app is looking very nice indeed.

How do you expect me to do anything in the absence of an API?

ahh, didnt realise they hadn't released the API's, are they planning to release them or have they not released any info about their plans with API's?

Off topic for this thread and you'd have to ask them. I am not privy to their business plan.

regarding license.

I just donated and got the license.

I am going to return my new graphics card and get a different one ("Point of View" vs EVGA, both 9600GT) since its too loud and the fan not controlable. Not automatic or by software.

Do I need a new license for it afterwards?

Best regards

You won't need a new license.

BTW, my BFG 9600GT was making noise too, but it was a subtle "chirping". It turned out to be a small piezoelectric speaker intended to alarm an undervoltage condition. I'm sure there was no undervoltage. Anyway, I just covered the little exit hole of the speaker and it's inaudible now.

Version 1.0.9

1. Added support for the new audio types found on BluRay disks.

2. Improved the audio delay calculation.

3. Removed the Treat I as IDR option as it is now always enabled.

4. Machine ID now not tied to system partition, so machine ID changes will be rare.

5. Updated the CUVID server to 1.0.3.
