Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been raised but I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer.
I'm using V1.0.2 and would like to know if its possible to use FFDshow DXVA video decoder codec for H264 streams, this codec seems to be a lot better then the others I have installed on my HTPC.
The problem seems to be with TsReader and FFDshow agreeing a pin connection, I have tried it in Graphedit with no joy, but the same file can be loaded with Haali Media Splitter and FFDshow with no problems.
The reason why I want to use FFDshow is for several reasons: -
1. CoreAVC 2.0
Has problems with channel changes between H264 feeds that are interlaced and not.
seems to fail when skipping forward or backwards.
De-interlacing is bad on any setting.
uses between 50 - 60% of my CPU when decoding (very high) with cuda and DXVA.
2. PDVD7.x H.264.AVC decoder
Hates Interlaced streams (most sport channels for me), just seems to drop frames and skip.
Looks great on Non-interlaced streams (film channels).
Channel changes and FF / FR work great.
uses between 50-60% of my CPU with DXVA enabled (very high)
3. FFDshow (non-DXVA)
Fails in MP.
4. MPC - Video Decoder
Fails in MP
FFDshow in Windows MP or Graphedit looks great with interlaced TS files, the CPU usage when playing back is around 10% and no skipping or interlaced visual problems.
I'm using FFDshow release on the 18th March 2010 (1.1.3326.0), and TS reader with MP V1.0.2 created on the 5th May 2009.
Thanks for your help.

Guys,
Looks like I may have this working by using the latest version of the TSreader in the 1.1.0 RC1 release, just giving it a try but it links in graphedit
