Cyberlink Codec gone?

hello,

hmmm, seems like Cyberlink "CLVsd.ax" is taken out of the SAf package. I try to keep track of new postings and new versions of SAF in this forum, but this change just went unnoticed by me untill recently... You probably had your reasons, Hoborg, but it wuld be nice to know what has replaced PVDV9. On my setup it seemed like the best working codec ; -probably not the most flexible, but especially for TV and HD content it worked like a charm.
In any case, it might be the screencaps on the first page could use an update, just to visualize the setup in Mediaportal that actually matches the contents of the package, cause I am a bit confused which coded to use for what content now...

Another thing, somehow, I have the impression that he former AC3-filter had a better sound all in all when it comes to making 5.1 sound out of stereo sources, in additon to have a neat compression function that is quite useful for us having small babies sleeping in the next room ;-) Would a separate AC3-filter installation interfere with the rest of the codecs in SAF, especially when it comes to DXVA?

thanks again for the great work your doing, Hoborg!

best regards, tommeltott

You didnt read changelog?
Code:
test2:
 	- ALL	- removed PDVD9 MPEG2 and h.264 filters *unlocked* SAF only
 	- ALL	- added CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD9) *unlocked* SAF only

Cyberlink merge MPEG-2 and h.264 decoder in to one new "CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD9)", there wont be any new version of CLVsd.ax.
Yes, you can use AC3 filter, just install it after SAF. But remember, you wont be able to play AC3+ (TrueHD) audio, AC3 filter didnt support it.
"screencaps" will be updated when curent SAF test version reach "final"

    Re: SAF v4.00beta (StandAlone Filters) - DXVA ready (MPEG2, H.264 and VC-1).

    Once again thanks hoborg for SAF.
    Now with my problem or bug report.

    Installed clean copy of Win7, 32bit
    Installed MP 1.1.0 latest beta
    No other codecs, just SAF
    Video card is ATI Sapphire 4670 passive
    Latest drivers 9.12 version for Win7

    I have problem with playing just one file, it's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, full name:
    Transformers.Revenge.of.the.Fallen.2009.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-Prestige

    Here is a picture of problem:



    Here is first part of Transformers which is playing just fine with hardware acceleration:
    Tranformers.2007.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-ESiR




    And here is picture of Transformers.Revenge.of.the.Fallen.2009.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-Prestige playing on my computer with GomPlayer:



    So in GomPlayer it is working, only having problems with audio, there are few audio streams inside, but in MP audio is ok, but picture is broken in 2 parts.

    Any help?

    If I need to provide some more info, pls tell me what and how to get it since I'm not very good with it. :)
    Thanks.

    Hello!

    My Problem is that I can't get flv streams to work. I use OnlineVideos and when trying to play a vid of Youtube, only a message box pops up "can't play Get_Video?blabla". All my movies (avi, xvid, mkv) and LiveTV work fine, I can even play saved .flvs with Windows Media Player, but the streams don't work. They worked some months ago... don't know what happend.

    I use latest MP-SVN, X-Factor as skin, WinXP SP3 with all updates. System: Athlon64 3000+, 1 GB Ram, Ati Radeon HD4670 with Catalyst 9.12

    My log files are attached, thx for any hint!

    Hello,

    yes, I installed latest ffdshow beta last week, which includes the DXVA Decoder, but it isn't enabled. Anyway the decoder should just work on h264 stuff?

    Well, you should report problem to FFDshou team and not here :)
    FFDshow decoder is not ready to use, there are still bugs like blocking durning seek...

    @ALL
    New version of MPC video decoder have support for MPEG-2 DXVA decoding now.
