Vista Hardware Acceleration not working?

[krusty2die4]

very funny. presents a custom graph with powerDVD codec/ffdshow audio dec as a remotegraph from powerdvd-player...har har.
and congrats to ffdshow. now you´ve got a crappy software decoder on your system that nether supports dxva nor multi-cpu. i´m bored. next time use google before you ask for help.

Just read on the avsforum about this

The latest Nvidia drivers (169.25) have a bug that requires a very simple fix - in the Nvidia settings, you simply go into Enhancements and adjust the Edge Enhancement from 0% to 1% and click Apply. Completely fixed the problem, even fixed my streaming problem...all my stuff plays perfect under Vista Media Center now.

Might this also apply to MP and current driver, don't think you will break anything

Ugh !! or do you mean the actual player

Of course I was talking about PowerDVD Player because that was the threadstarter´s problem- he didn´t see a graph when running PwrDVD-Player. Why not? Because uses only own source filters and codecs, not DS...

Umm, no - I'm not interested in using PowerDVD as an external player, if that was the problem I'd be at the PowerrDVD forums; read original post, HW acceleration is working with standalone player, it's when using the PowerDVD codec from within MediaPortal that I am having troubles getting HW acceleration to work...

P.S - I've also tried with PowerDVD8 codec. same problem. And when I try GraphEdit, I 'connect to remote graph', select the 'remote filter graph', click OK, and nothing happens, no graph.

Anyhow, as i said, DXVA itself is working on Vista- but definitely not with ffdshow or CoreAVC or any other renderer than EVR. Therefore Vista and PowerDVD Codec. In PowerDVD H.264 Codec, you have to enable dxva manually, not only in MP Config/PwrDVD8 Settings (look at snap 1+2)

You might take a look at my today opened support- Thread. There I posted Filtergraphs for working DXVA 2.0 (with proof )

MediaPortal uses EVR with 3 input pins-> drops 50% of all frames on interlaced stuff

It also works fine with progressive stuff from MP, just the interlaced h.24 ones cause droped frames (stutter) because the MP graph seems to have issues with EVR...just have a look

Original post was edited for clarity, no need for further misunderstanding.

I was having troubles with progressive channels and interlaced channels; both dropping lots of frames, jerky, poorly detailed images.

Your thread looks most interesting, will be following closely; currently reinstalling Vista so will look closer into this later

How can i check, which deinterlacing is used?
