SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (33 Viewers)

[bazzz]

Hi all,

I'm having a strange issue when watching shows or movies using SAF. What's happing appears to be like a frame drop of some sort as a scrolling scene in a show will result in a jump or skip. Sound doesn't seem to be affected at all. I too had searched around for the perfect solution with codecs and finally came across this and it's perfect, except for the skipping. I have a GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H mobo with 1G of ram (maybe need more?) and a 4600+ proc. I stream everything over the network which is 1Gb in my house.

I had installed Mediaportal and just installed the divx bundle prior to installing SAF so maybe there is some left over registry snippets from that package even though it's uninstalled? I also have quicktime installed for apple trailers.

I'm just running both stable versions of Mediaportal and SAF (1.01 and 3.40 I believe).

I was going to try re-installing everything on another HD and not install anything but the two and see if this works. Thanks for any assistance that can be offered.

If anyone else is having this problem, you might want to read this thread:

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/codecs-external-players-55/short-sped-up-video-segments-51225/

because there are solutions towards the end. Basically, either using AC3Filter, or using ffdshow and getting it to recode the DTS stream to AC3 seem to work.

This may or may not be worth a look:

Spdifer | AC3Filter

as it's basically a less complex version of AC3filter.

can someone confirm weather this is working right, i get alot of cpu flucuation

You shoudn't have double mpa. You might want to try uninstall/reboot/reinstall of SAF. or is mpa installed with another codec pack that you should uninstall first?

I have noticed artifacts, too. I am using Catalyst 9.3 under Vista x86. So, it´s not a x64 thing.

The strange thing for me is that the artifacts only appeared on 720 videos. 1080 was ok.

did downgrading your video driver help correct this problem?

Yes! 8.11 is ok with every video file I throw at it.

SAF is the only set of codec's installed, i rebooted and even re installed and i still get the same output, could it be driver related, Vista x86 Catalyst 9.3 with a 4350

Yor graph is OK.
Just when installing MP SVN, do not instal MPC/MPA codecs, or reinstall SAF after MP SVN installation.

[If you have WinXP, use catalyst 8.5 or 9.3

Perhaps you should write this @ first post also?
Nice to see you still maintaining and polishing SAF
