PDVD11 uses HW decoding for VC1 in MP (1 Viewer)

[hoborg]

Ok i have try SAF6 test version and it fallback to software mode.
I retry with filter from cyberlink installation and it's ok

That is a nice mystery, is it not?
What can cause it?
It is somehow possible to detect, what .DLLs are in use ?
What makes it to work under other players, but fail only on MePo?

I dont get this...
BTW, your official PDVD use the same decoder revision as SAF?

EDIT:
Well, i found that missing "264dsse2.dll" is causing the issue here.
Still mystery for me, but at last it is working now.

Nice
Thanks.

Works for me too. Thank you very much Hoborg and Sebastiii.
Well I suspected MP for this

Well, it is still a mystery. Why missing "264dsse2.dll" causing fall back to SW decoding only in MePo?

 

[Sebastiii]

That strange it's because in graphstudio i have the same (when fallback to software mode) so now i have 1:1 on my system @ least

Hi
I have been having problems with vc1. I need dxva to work as am on a zotac without enough processing power.
I confess I haven't understood everything said here. Is there a way I can fix it? Vc1 shows ffdshow as the video decoder but powerdvd for h.264.
I assume this is the same issue.
By the way, the online videos plugin now has a dependency for lav filters. I have this installed. I do not know enough to tell if that could cause it. I have not tried uninstalling that and reinstalling saf.
I only have unlocked saf6, not a powerdvd install.
Best
Ben

In fact, we just see that PDVD11 didn't work well in DXVA for VC1 because of missing DLL.
You can try rework of codec filter (Version 2) here : https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/826965-post3.html.
With this build you can set LAV Splitter as source and set Codec (VC-1 one)

sorry but would you mind expanding? i installed the new bdhandler but thought that was for playing iso's or folder structures. my vc1 files are all mkvs. if this is still the fix could you tell me what i need to change?

Hi Foxbenw,

BDHandler is to handle title selection for blu-ray (no menu) for menu you can give a try in Native Bluray Support (look @ my signature).
So for all your mkv actually we can't set the codec we want to use and in actual official 1.2.2 MP take the codec from windows with the higher merit.
Using SAF6 unlocked, you can have PDVD and otherwise you can use ffdshow or LAV Video decoder by using Nvidia Cuvid or Intel and now DXVA2 for ATI but always MP use the higher merit.

Now this is why i'm working on rework of video codec section in MP to add the choice to select VC-1 codec and in addition with LAV suite, Version 2 can work together (MP and LAV) for the Directshow rebuild graph part

In this version (and if you want to talk about it, we can continue the discussion in the other thread) we force the use of LAV Splitter in video codec section (like the first screenshot of 1st Post) and we set the codec we want to use.

It's a global installer but i will compil later only binaries for 1.2.2 Final, like this you can try on your actual setup
Thanks.
