    could you please attach logfiles from a test with a codec that failed? at least mediaportal.log would be interesting.

    could you please attach logfiles from a test with a codec that failed? at least mediaportal.log would be interesting.

    Attached you will find 2 rar's of logs. The first rar is from today and 6-7 days back. The new one is all fresh and includes only the Cyberlink Power DVD 7.3 with latest patch codec test.

    2 ISO DVD's from local hd's tested: Number 1 from the Deadwood season 2 which includes 3 DVD menus. First you make a selection of subtext or episodes. Second which episode and last play or scenes. First test made the MP freeze totally. But running the same test once more, gave me problems when I came to the last menu when I would normally hit play, but then the selection tab would jump randomly from scenes to play selection. Hitting the play selection is merely a matter of luck. :)

    Second DVD is the Transporter movie. This DVD includes only one “main” menu with a couple of sub menus. No problem at all with cyberlink codec and navigating in the menu structure of this DVD!

    Hope this was informative enough and first of all understandable. :)

    Dscaler/MPV and "Nvidia noise reduction"

    Another problem: when enabling enhancement in Nvidia Control Panel for video playing (driver ver 163.71) called "Noise reduction", both Dscaler and the MPV decoder codec’s will give me a aspect ratio that is way out of visible area. The only visible part of the movie is the upper half regardless of the aspect ratio/zoom mode.

    Attached a log file of only this test.

    Problems again with SVN build 16179

    And now with SVN build 16179, only the original MS Vista mpeg1/2 codec would do DVD menu correctly. Only problem with ms codec is stuttering when enabling subtitle. Using dshowhelper from 0610

    thanks for all your information. unfortunately i don't have much time to look at it until (hopefully) this weekend. on a first glance, i have a few points:

    *) does the first dvd in your test work when you use vmr9 instead of evr?
    *) i can confirm the aspect ratio problems with dscaler, but thanks for pointing out the relation to the noise reduction feature. i always thought it was somehow related to my dual-core upgrade.
    *) to avoid stuttering, please try using "Default Directsound Device" as audio renderer, this has been reported to be helpful in some cases.

    i'm using the vista codec + EVR for most of my tests, but i will try the Cyberlink codec next time. the bad thing about this is, that is seems to be specific to some DVDs, so we need to find a title which doesn't work, and happens to be accessible by me (if it's a good movie, i may even rent it for testing).

    :)) You can "rent" Deadwood from me?! Only charging you a "upspeeding of development".... ;-)

    There is no problem with most codec and vmr9 if I i turn off DxVA.
    I'm using Vista codec ver 4.5 and Cyberlink 7.3 with latest patch.

    The problem seems to be related to DVD's with more complex menus or DVD's with more than one "main" menu if you understand what I mean.

    Thanx!

    I thought i'd ask...has this problem been solved? I doesn't work here....

    Works here. Please be more informative. What video codec is used? What DVD navigator is used? EVR? VMR9?

    Hello

    I tried several codecs
    - PowerDVD
    - ffdshow
    - MPV

    DVD Navigator is..errhh...DVD Navigator. I didn't know there are other Navigators to use in MP...are those freeware?

    Oh yes, I'm using MP 1.0 with a recent but not the latest SVN
