PDVD Codec - that is question to MP team, why they disable it.

BTW - what do you want to change?

Thanks hoborg, but perhaps I didn't make myself clear. If you install PDVD Trial, then when you run MP Config, you get some configuration options under DirectShow Fileter Control - PowerDVD 8 Decoder Settings. Here is where you usually enable/disable hardware decoding.

When installed usinf SAF, this option window is not revealed in MP config.

I guess I just wanted the peace of mind knowing there was a checkbox somewhere with Hardware Acceleration ticked...

As i know, PowerDVD 8 is disabled in MP configuration for some time now - that is reason why it is not here.
I can use trick to enable it (simply rename PDVD8 to PDVD7 i registry), but i think it will start question type - "hey, i have PDVD8 installed, but MP tells me it is PDVD7 - WTF!" ...
And SAF is using DXVA automaticly if you install PDVD Mpeg2 decoder - read firts tape again

Hello

What should I use, this Pack here from this thread or the VistaCodecPack5.04 ?

I dont know, too much input for me

Hello.
SAF is designed directly for MP.

Hoborg, could you rename it SAF-PDVD8? or something like that? just curious.

Thanks!

Yes, but this will remove all filters from MP configurations.
Filter names needs to be supported by MP.

Can anyone get 1080i movies (recordings moved to movie folder) working in MediaPortal with SAF? For me it goes in the playback mode but doesn't start playing. So i have to leave the mode with the stop function. Cyberlink works fine.

did you check your graph when trying to play using the MPC codec? Sounds like something is getting in the way preventing the video from playing.

Thanks for the suggestion! Since it was a .ts file the internal splitter was used and not haali. Renamed it to mkv and then it worked!

just extracted data1.cab from CyberLink PowerDVD 8.2217D

initial post says to use
_786F63D7CB56475897FB0D45EC005920

but the cabinet file does not contain it.

When I opened it, it contained:

PasteBucket

can anyone tell me which is the correct file?

Are you sure you unpack all 1209 files from data1.cab ? I check it righ now and it is correct.

I installed 3.14 on a quite new/fresh setup without FFD-show whatsoever. However, I have the following problem: I can only play some .mkv's! I managed to see a pattern in it (checking with VLC what codecs the working mkv's use and the non-working mkv's): the mkv's with a DTS/dolby-audiostream work just fine and those with a a52 (aka AC3) 6-channel audiostream don't play at all. How can I fix this? No difference between 720p and 1080p by the way, it's just that AC3-encoded MKV's won't play..
