Integration of MPC-HC subtitle's engine (1 Viewer)

[robyf]

Tried everything so far:

Reclock on = stuttering
Reclock off = stuttering
Aero and Vsync off = stuttering on the same places, but different then before (it stutters quicker)
Aero off vsync on = stuttering
Aero on vsync off = stuttering

again, whatever settings I choose, this doesn't happen in MPC-HC.

Which codec do you use? I have problems both with mpc-hc and cyberlink but as I said I think my problem is different.

First post updated with the binaries for MP 1.0.1 ...enjoy

Have you updated the sources in the first post also for 1.0.1? That would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I use SAF 3.47. For audio I use Ac3filter and for video MPC Video Decoder with working DXVA.

NOTE:
Under Vista you must set Aero on + vsync on + EVR to remove tearing.
That is only way.
Have nothing to do with codec, filters, etc...

You can also use MPC-HC with EVR and Vsync only without tearing. Just make sure to set the EVR buffer to 3-5, and you have no tearing But overall, Aero+EVR+Vsync works much better, with the above trick you can get some speed issues in some media.

btw, I will install Windows 7 build 7077 soon, it might be able to fix the problem I have, it's my last hope
Drivers for Windows 7 are WDDM 1.1, and the latest 9.4 driver seems to be very good on W7.
(just a little concerned about my Creative x-FI 5.1 USB, but I take the risk).

I agree . Also with Ati card everything work fine on primary monitor.
do not use secondary one, never.

Imho with Vista+Aero-Evr vsynch option in catalyst control center is not important.

Actually setting v-sync in drivers shouldn't matter (unless it is forced to off or user has broken drivers). MediaPortal will use:

presentParams.PresentationInterval = PresentInterval.Default;

And that will tell to DirectX / display drivers that application want's to use v-sync. Of cource there is nothing bad in having always the v-sync forced on by the driver settings.

Could be audio codec related. Is there anyone trying different audio codecs or output modes? Digital ouput is a lot more critical and sensitive to vid sync then analogue output.

I can say one thing: the problem was really worse when I was using ffdshow as audio decoder for SPDIF passthrough. I now use MPA and the problem is not so visible althrough present.

What thread the code is using to render the cached subtitle textures? Maybe that is done in the same thread as the GUI / video rendering (MP main thread) and that is too much on some systems.
