SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (23 Viewers)

Re: AW: SAF v4.00beta (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1).

Do I need to add FFDShow Audio decoder to MP postprocessing?
The Setup of SAF said something about it, that ffdshow needs it to work correctly. I also activated the passthrough in the setup.

I've got a x-fi soundcard with spdif out >> Harman Kardon AVR 255

thanks in advance

Hoborg, can you answer that? Is it still required (with passthrough)?

Hmm.. Installed RC2, now SD TV doesn't work anymore!

//edit
Ow, only a few channels don't work!
Net5 and Discovery HD don't work

Hi!

Is there any quality difference between ffdshow and PDVD9 for mpeg2/h(x)264?
How can one test/compare this in some easy way?

I rarely watch DVDs, but yesterday I did it just to test out the new SAF 4.10, where ffdshow takes care of DVD playback. I have to say that panning motions seemed a lot less smooth than with PowerDVD (and hardware deinterlacing). ffdshow is also supposed to use hardware deinterlacing, right? I don't know what could be the problem.

RC1->RC2 - no filter updated at all.

SAF 4.00 RC use same MPEG-2 decoder as SAF 4.10 (FFDShow for DVD, PDVD for TV).

OK. I think that messed up codec merits have made PowerDVD kick in for DVDs before, and the results have always been good. Now I noticed choppier pans. One good thing though is that the DVD played all the way through without the "blackouts" that I have described earlier.

Installed the newest SAF now. Why is MPC recommended before Cyberlink for normal videos? Does both do HW acelleration?

Hi hoborg!

No idea - this is nothing from SAF. It can be some subtitles i think.
