AW: Re: AW: .m2ts doesn't work & spltted screen with some .mkv's!

Thanks for your reply, hoborg!

If you open your m2ts sample in graphstudio, will it play?

Playback in Graphstudio is working fine!

BTW, you can try DSmux to mux m2ts in to MKV, maybe this will fix your issue.

Already done! The .mkv is working!


Best regards

Then it looks like MP issue...

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

I've been trying to track down what's causing my LiveTV artifacts.

In fact, it's more like pulsing as the image updates and is very noticeable and distracting.

I've found it doesn't happen with Nvidia or MPC - MPEG-2 Video Decoder (Gabest) Decoders, so I'm using the Nvidia one for now.

It happens with the Cyberlink decoder in both MP and if I play back a recording in MPC-HC, but not if I load the recording into graphstudio. The main difference that I can see is that if I connect to the graph whilst MP or MPC-HC is playing, it shows MediaPortal File Reader, so my best guess is it's a combination of that and the Cyberlink decoder that's causing it.

I've been trying to test the recording on my other PC, but when I play it in MPC-HC, it uses MPC - MPEG Source (Gabest) instead of MediaPortal File Reader, even though they both have the same merits on both PCs (0x00400000 for MPC (Gabest) and 0x006003E8 for MP File Reader). If I lower the merit for MPC (Gabest) then it just uses File Source (Async.) which also has the merit 0x00400000.

So, what should I do to get it to use the MP File Reader?

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

Is it possible to use madFlac (for multi-channel FLAC audio within a mkv movie) with MP + SAF? If so, how?

Here is the link to madFlac: madFlac - new DirectShow FLAC source filter + decoder - Doom9's Forum

If you post small sample, i will try.

hoborg,

Here is a 75MB, 17 sec sample from my blu-ray rip of Star Trek (2009). It has a 5.1 FLAC audio track.

No problem here. Audio renderer report 5 channels - default SAF setup

Another advantage I've found with the Nvidia decoder is that it shows UK Freeview channels Dave and Dave ja vu fullscreen properly. The Cyberlink decoder can't handle them and shows the programmes in a 16:9 window (pseudo 16:9?) with large black borders on all sides, with only the adverts being fullscreen.

All i can say is - "sample please"...

Hi Hoborg!
What do you mean about new Intel clakdale CPU Core i5-661+intel DH55TC MB for building HTPC with DXVA?????
Missing Remote
Has anybody tested this platform+cpu???
Will SAF worked with it?

......The family of processors code-named "Clarkdale" has sparked a great deal of interest since its existence and some basic performance information spread out across the web in late September. Teasing home theater PC (HTPC) enthusiasts with incredibly low power usage and built in HD codec bit streaming all packaged together with enough performance to tempt those in need of a full featured HTPC.......

Intel has done what many would not have thought possible by creating an incredibly compelling platform for the HTPC. While not perfect, and sporting some teething issues, it’s hard to argue with the features and value that the platform offers. Of course while my id would like the entry price to be a bit lower (the cheapest part that supports HD audio is $113) my ego has a hard time reconciling that desire with the feature set provided.

The Clarkdale solution will now up the bar yet again for other manufacturers seeking to compete on a feature level, and poses an interesting question to the likes of soundcard manufacturers struggling for relevance after betting on being the sole bit stream providers—why spend an extra $150-250 on their solution when it is included “for free”. Of course if you already have a perfectly good system and graphics solution, the idea of replacing your motherboard/CPU might make you cringe, and as stated this platform is not ideal for hard-core gamers.

For the HTPC crowd however, Clarkdale brings us that much closer to HT Nirvana. It’s a (somewhat) affordable solution which gives the user low power draw so it can run cool and quietly, supports the same HD bit stream capabilities of the highest end audio cards; while arguably providing the standard in HTPC picture quality…and it even properly handles standby and hibernation!

Pros:

* Excellent picture quality for every format tested
* Deinterlacing performance as good as or better than discrete cards
* HD codec bit streaming
* Low power consumption
* Performance competitive with previous generation quad cores
* Correct[able] black levels for all content – pictures and video with minimal tweaking (should work flawlessly in future driver versions)

Cons:

* HDCP issues with Denon AVR-1909
* Some tweaking required to get proper black and brightness levels during video playback with current driver version
* G6XXX line has drastically reduced features that could cause confusion

I doubt about it.
Intel only support DXVA 2.0 - you will need to use Vista/Win7
Intel drivers was really buggy last time i tryed DXVA on my Intel GMA X4500HD, even MPEG-2 DXVA was broken...

...but this is can be different story after all
