Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

That's interesting :) I am getting HD audio perfectly with SAF4 (DTSHD MA, TRUEHD, LPCM), those light on my Receiver light up and sound correctly, with SAF5 only DTSHD MA is working, TRUEHD and LPCM will output as pink noise. Any idea?

I am not sure if SAF4 have FFDshow with HD audio support, it is too old now :)

Oh no no no... media player plays them smooth as silk. These are only 640 res - My cpu plays 1080x1920 60fps - smooth as silk as well. The studdering is in the codec or conflict. I'll try to find another quicktime codec to install and keep messing with it. They played fine in MP before SAF install. (your request to uninstall everything prior to installing SAF) removed what ever was working. Previous to SAF install - I could play all 1080P files (my own HD videos) as well as every HD and HD3D movie I've tried.

You are right, your C2D CPU should be fast enought, but for FullHD software decoding you need at last ~3GHz 1core CPU. FFMpeg (core of FFDshow) is writen for 1CPU, so playback of FullHD 60fps video can be a problem...

Try to play your *.m2ts file in Graphstudio and look at CPU usage.

WMP using media foundation, so using it for testing is not good idea.

There isn't any other "QT decoder".
The problem is QT splitter - there is not much to choose. You can try SAF5 _LAVF build to test on your MOV files.

*.MOV files using FFDshow to play it, *.QT/*.MOVSD using QT source filter as a bridge between QT framework (QTLite) and DirectShow.
I would like to see one of your MOV sample to test it.

EDIT:
I noticed you have a lot of background apps started after boot, some of them can eat some CPU power or causing stuttering. You should remova as much possible, look here:

Is there a CPU usage in graphstudio? or you mean in taskmanager. I didn't see one in graph - so looking at task manager... well to start It's shockingly high. (DOH) where is all that usage going. No apps running, I started to shut down processes I didn't need, better.

Running my m2ts in graph studio (cpu hovers around 20-30 % - file plays fine). These are no longer a problem since your last suggestion to untoggle those 2 options.

It's my .MOV (.QT) files. They play but sound is like BORG. (as .MOV) sound is fine, but video isn't smooth renamed as .QT
They play fine in VLC player.

.MOV's in graphstudio run around 80-90% and hit 100 at times. Video plays fine, audio is garbled.

SAME FILES - renamed to .QT - testing in graph studio.

Audio plays fine, video plays (jerky at times) hovers around 80% give or take.

GOTTA RUN - will read the info BELOW when I get back - thanks! I surely need to shut down some processes.

rojoyinc:
VLC player is not DirectShow based player - it is useless to test anything here...

AW: Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

Hi,

i have the problem that none of the codecs is working for video mpeg-2 playback. I'm using the latest saf 5.00 with mediaportal 1.1.2 on win7 x86 and mediaportal will always use the ffdshow video codec for video mpeg-2 playback no matter what codec i set in the config (I tried microsoft one, PDVD and MPC-HC). Strange enough... for live TV the codec selection works just fine, here i can use PDVD.

I appreciate any help.
Regards, prometh.

Well, there is no reason to use different one ;)

I have quite some stuttering on SD material, just wanna rule out that its no codec issue. I dont have any problems for HD files or live tv though...

attaching a link to one of my smallest .mov files.

Looks like your sample is corrupted. Can you ZIP it before uploading? Thanks.

Does it happend even in Graphstudio?

No only in mediaportal. I get dropped frames like every 20-30 secs.
