SAF v4.00 ''stable'' (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (H.264 and VC-1). (30 Viewers)

[hoborg]

I would need a little help. I have the following motherboard Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H. (nvidia Geforce 9400 chipset)
I have problems with playing 1080p or 720p mkv films, on my HTPC. All films are stuttering at playback.
I use mediaportal 1.0.2 and I have SAF v3.47 installed. I tried everything, installed the latest nvidia driver, but nothing changed. Changed the settings, no change.
Any idea what the problem could be? I do not know what kind of informations do you need to analyze the problem, so pls let me know.

Thank you in advance for your help!

What CPU?
Try to disable subtitles in SAF setup

I have the same motherboard. I also run xp sp3. I also have problems with stuttering with SAF, especially when using DXVA.
Right now when under XP i use FFDSHow and it works like a charm!

Intel dual core E5300 2.6 GHz 2MBL2/800

I will try. Just a question, If I disable subtitles in SAF, how I will be able to see the subtitles?

I also tried with FFDShow, I have the same problem. Now you use ffdshow, did you disabled DXVA? how did you do it? What kind os CPU do you have?

I dont use dxva with ffdshow, it s not possible. But the problem with dxva is that you cant have subtitles, quite a big problem.
I have a E8500.
AS you tell me you still have stuttering with ffdshow i am wondering what video render do you use? I recommend VMR9 with every option checked

I use VMR9. I tried with all option checked, and I tried without any filtering, same problem. Maybe its because of the cpu? Not fast enough?

For test reason.

And what about MPC-HC player, did your video woking fine?

 

[carmenm]

what is your cpu usage during a 720p decoding?

Yes I tested with Media Player Classic too. Same problem, still stuttering. Sorry guys, its really the case. I know is bit unbelievable, but that is the trues.

 

[carmenm]

strange, you should check your cpu usage with and without playing

 

[csabakon]

According to task manager:

without playing 1-4%
720p upto 30 %
1080p upto 54%

tested while playing with mpc-hc
