SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (8 Viewers)

It seems that a lot of people are having problems with MP not disposing of the Haali splitter after watching HD videos. Since there doesn't seem to be very much development with regards to that issue, is there another codec for x.264 material that I can use which allows for DXVA? How do you other guys cope with this?

i guess you could try the splitter that comes with MPC-HC standalone filters?

Definitly not. It is alread fixed, there is new core.dll available.

Mh... did it... but nothing changed in the good direction. HDTV looks now like this... and no picture and sound!

Did you configure MP TV setup to use PDVD9 for h.264?

No, but for MPGE2 i used PowerDVD9. Why? Because the only choices mediaportal gives me for MPGE2 are FFDSHOW video decoder and PDVD9.

But even if i use ffdshow video for mpeg2 and MPC for h264, its still both PoverDVD in the graph. I am confused. If i setup DVBViewer TE2 to use ffdshow video for mpeg2 and Cyberlink PDVD9 for h264 it works great, both HDTV and SDTV.

But MP just doesnt use what i set it up to use...

MP have blacklisted FFDshow for MPEG-2.
You must setup it as it is on first page on this thread.

That was of course my first try.

But PDVD or PDVD9 for h264? I actually tried both... and both dont work.

Edit: Am i missing something else maybe? Do i need to restart TVServer inbetween changes? I guess not, because it doesnt have to anything with codecs... i am running out of ideas

I told you to uninstall PowerDVD (or other software that installed "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder" - second screenshot). You can check in graphstudio where the file is located on your hard drive to identify "unwanted" software. Then reinstall SAF and try again.

BTW - arent you trying to play *.TS file from local disk?

EDIT:
BTW, can this be connected to your problem?

Hm. Ok. I downloaded Codec Sniper to see what codecs are installed. What i found was a Cyberlink AVC codec which was broken. It was listed to be under C:\Programme\Cyberlink\Power DVD - even though this directory doesnt exist anymore. I Kicked this codec. Now i only have PDVD9 as a choice in MP config, for mpeg2 and for h264. Both codecs are used like setup based on graphstudio and both are placed under windows\system32.

I am not sure what you mean with .ts from local harddisk. I mean, of course yes... since TVClient doesnt do anything different? But i only have problems with TV. Regarding the bugreport you mentioned: I use WinXP.

Thanks for all the support and sorry for all the mess...

I mean - do you connect graphstudio when runing LiveTV or playing recodring/TS file?

Live TV

Too bad i have no h.264 live TV to test, only h.264 TS recordings and they are working fine for me...
