SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (21 Viewers)

Hi hoborg!

I have problems installing SAF 3.40.
I have a fresh Windows XP SP3 install (Hungarian) and installed Haali splitter and Mediaportal 1.0 final, but I get two errors when trying to install SAF 3.40.
The first says I have not installed MediaPortal, the second says, that I have not installed PowerDVD flter (but I did it).
Then I tried SAF 3.30 and installed without any error.
After that I tried to upgrade to v3.40, but the "MediaPortal not installed" error still comes up.

Can You help me?

Hi. To use SAF 3.40 you need to install MP1.0 + latest SVN.

second is not error - are you sure you place "CLVsd.ax" ony your C:\ root?

Why isn't it possible to use SAF > 3.40 without MediaPortal? Are there some MP resources that SAF uses or?
Would be cool if you could use SAF without MediaPortal. I think a lot of people would love this great filter package even if they don't use MP.

Well, it is becouse some part of SAF won't be working correcty outside MP. SAF was created from begin just for MP.

SAF 3.42 OUT

* MPC-HC filters updated to v.1.2.997.0

I would first like to thank Hoborg for the time and effort spent on this pack.

I am getting very bad frame rates and jittery audio playback which is totally out of sync once I enable Subtitles under Video/Subtitles or add DirectVobSub under Video post processing. There are no subtitles being displayed after I install SAF 3.41, so I guess I would have to manually enable Subtitles in order for them to work.

I don't think you need DirectVobSub anymore- you can get DXVA with subtitles- see this thread.

I can tell you that this integration in MPC is heaven! Even zoom in on 21:9 movies with subtitles works like a charm.
DXVA makes your processors lazy at +/-10% on 1080p.

I still use SAF, which is great, but now i've found a few minor issues.

1) The newer version of PowerDVD8 which is mentioned on the pinned post is doing de-interlacing while the previous one did not. I prefer to have de-interlacing off.
2) I need AC3filter for encoding audio from wmv-hd to 5.1 via spdif. So i install AC3filter after SAF (other way round is not allowed in SAF) After that i set audio decoding to AC3filter and in postprocessing i add AC3filter. Is it possible to do this with SAF?

2) MPA doesn't work for you? AC3 + MPA filter instalation mostly create mess. Try to connect graph edit and check your graph if it is correct.

From what i have seen, is that MPA gives stuttering on SPDIF DTS output, with DXVA enabled so cpu is not the problem. ffdshow or ac3 filter gives correct output. Does MPA encode wmv-hd audio to 5.1?
Besides all this i am using Reclock as audio renderer and for that also AC3Filter is needed. Maybe it is possible to include Reclock into the SAF package?

MPA should output all audio format in 5.1.
Reclock? MP (1.0 + SVN) have internal framerate switcher (you just need to enable it in configuration). I have no personal experience with reclock software...

 

[wouter1971]

I think you mean refreshrate switcher instead of framerate switcher. But that's something else as Reclock which is really a framerate changing program.
Take a look in google for reclock. It works great and your movies are silkysmooth.

@hoborg: could you please remove the PowerDVD check or change it to a warning? I am using PowerDVD8 for Blu-rays and therefore cannot uninstall it.

+1
it is really a bit annoying

 

[hoborg]

There are plan to add Blue-Ray support in to MP in feature, so PowerDVD will be no longer needed.
If you want to use PDVD + SAF, you can remove registry entry "hkLocalMachine\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2BF2E31F-B8BB-40A7-B650-98D28E0F7D47}\" ident "DisplayVersion".

PDVD will be no longer detected by SAF.

Uninstall SAF - this will clean your registry.
