SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (2 Viewers)

Is there something about SAF that would cause MP LiveTV to continue to use MPC-MPA decoder, after I've installed ffdshow and set MPEG / AC3 audio decoder to ffdshow in the Television section in MP config?

Not in RC1. Just reinstall SAF 4.00RC1 to fix that.

Unfortunately I can't use SAF 4 due to the problems I encountered, so I'm having to stick with 3.47 for now.

I'm trying to get a fully working setup with my ATI HD4650. But I can't solve 2 problems:
1) 9.x drivers have black-level problems. 8.11 seems to work perfectly. But apparently I need 9.x to for DXVA?
2) HDMI gets turned off when I switch the TV input to something else (TV/SAT/DVD,etc.) - have to reboot to get it back.

Have tried both SAF 3.47 and 4.00RC1.

While I have a 2250 TV card, not using the TV install yet...trying to work the basics out first.

Am willing to use whatever OS is best: WinXP/Vista/Win7. Anyone have any recommendation on which OS/driver for best black levels/HDMI audio issues? The front page doesn't help me as 8.5 doesn't support HD4xxx and 9.4 has black-level issues (8.11 is oldest possible driver for HD4xxx cards). And apparently the ATI registry tweaks don't work anymore on 9.x drivers.

Looks like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place (unless someone knows a magic combination). Maybe I need to buy an HD3xxx card just so I can go back to 8.5 drivers?

TV: Panasonic TH42PX60U (42" plasma)
Motherboard: Asus P5Q-EM
OS: Win 7 RC
Video: ATI HD4650
Audio: ATI HDMI only
TV card: Hauppauge 2250 (installed but not being used yet)

I am working on it

I have ATI 4550 on XP and do not have any "black-level issues" - just disable dynamics brightness in CCC. But i do not use HDMI, that is true (using external speakers, so i can turn off TV when playing music)

SAF 4.00beta14

Changelog

First try of AC3 integration, so try & report if passtrought is working or not...

So how should this beta be set up, is AC3Filter supposed to work for all kinds of videos? I have different amounts of delays for HD material and TV, so it would be ideal for me if I could use ffdshow for one and AC3Filter for the other and by that be able to set different amounts of delays for h/x.264 and TV. Right now I'm using ffdshow audio for all high def material and there I have perfect sync. For TV on the other hand I'm using the microsoft audio codec, and it doesn't produce perfect sync.

AC3 filter works only for PCM/LPCM/AC3/DT3/DVD rest video will use FFDshou audio (or Monogram AAC in live TV).
