nVidia cannot decode VC-1 using DXVA, that is why i am asking.
What OS do you have? Use graphstudio to check what filter is in use.
I have hybrid graphics on my Vaio notebook.. I installed SAF RC1, I noticed something strange.. When I play an Xvid/Divx on Intel Graphics mode video is black screen. While it plays fine on nVidia mode..
When I switched off Resize in FFDshow, the video played fine on Intel Graphics...
Thanks a lot for a great app..

Hi Hoborg,
I used to use AC3Filter for the TV and Video section to make hdtv/mkv/dvd use DTS/AC3 passthrough and to decode MPEG2 audio streams. All worked perfect, but not for online videos. So I looked into SAF.
After installing SAF (the latest beta) for the first time according to your instructions on the first post, I lost all audio (accept in most online videos)!
Sometimes with a freezing MP (until you hit the stop button twice, that makes the video that apparently plays, stop)
GraphStudio learned me that the videostreams (mkv/hdtv/sdtv) get picked up nicely by the Cyberlink decoders, but the audio does not get attached to ffdshow (or any other codec for that matter)...
How can I make sure the audio pin gets connected to ffdshow, and it in turn gets attached to the default directsound device?
Could you, or anyone else that has his SAF audio codecs working nicely, help me out with a pm, screenshots, configs, etc. Anything could help! I'd really, really appreciate it!

Fist of all try to reinstall SAF and not install or configure anything else.

DTV-DVD video decoder?
Hope someone can still help me with this?
I followed the insallation instructions for SAF 4.00RC1 to the letter on a clean windows 7 (ultimate) installation.
My hardware is a 780G chipset (ATI HD3200) with 512MB shared. and running a AMD 4850e CPU connected to my samsung le37b650 through HDMI. Running latest drivers (9.9) and latest bios.
I have tested many things but when playing HD content in MP 1.1Beta it seems to use Microsoft DTV-DVD video decoder in stead of MPC. (Tested bij using graphstudio). When using MPC-HC player everything works fine (even when setting all internal players to off). But when I drag a video into the graphsttuio (to see the default graph) it also comes up with de Microsoft codec.
BTW I do see Haali show up in th tray and ffdshow for audio. It just does not use MPC Video codec.
Tested this with VC-1 and H.264 files in MKV or M2TS container.
Shouldn't MP's settings overrule the default graph? Anyone some bright ideas?
Thanx,
Martijn

...and you are not happy with MS decoder?
My OS is Windows XP Evolite. I'm trying to use graphstudio but because of not being able to play the file, graphstudio can't show what filter is in use. What do I have to configure in MP for avoid DXVA with VC-1 files?
Thank you very much.
Right all OK except when I try and play xvid files that I have. Graph says that ffdvideo is in use but I get the usual mosaic blocks when using wmr9. Using evr does work but then when I view other files (HD mp4 / mkv) then MP freezes at 100% load (unlocked SAF)
Tried mkvmerge but still same error.
Am I missing something?

Windows 7 Preferred key does the trick?
Well I want to control how it works. And yes I think MPC does a better job sometimes.
After some more research on this matter, it seems to have to do with a new way IC (inteligent connect) works out it's graphs in windows 7. It has to do with a regkey called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred
For more info see this link which explains how to do it manually: Replacing the Default DTV/DVD Decoder without Breaking Live TV Playback
After fiddleing arround with this. I reinstalled SAF. And it looks like it changes some registry values of the Prefered key. But maybe it did not work before because of the rights that are required (TrustedInstaller only).
What do you think?
