Codecs SAF v5.02 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder) (2 Viewers)

[UNOPARATOR]

@UNOPARATOR:

I will look on that file, still downloading...

OK, i downloaded "Falling.Skies.S01E03.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE.mkv" and the file play without any problem in Graphstudio using SAF6...

With or without LAVF Audio Decoder? Or is it about LAVF Splitter and/or updated ffdshow version?

LAVF splitter -> LAVF audio decoder -> audio renderer

It seems that this is the sign for me to finally try SAF6.
Is there anything that I would miss from SAF5? (I'm using MP subtitles and HTPC --(HMDI)--> TV --(Stereo RCA)--> Amp.)

I have a question:

I have a few tv channels, which audio channels are Dolby Digital. I don't like that, because they play more loud and I can't change the audio volume.
Is it possible, without using extra codecs, to let these channels play in stereo mode, without breaking my passthrough, when I watch movie.

Hi hoborg,

Since SAF 5.02 is a final version, may I assume that the embedded content of the package will not be updated with newer versions of the codecs?

Hi.
No.
There is SAF6 already

Ok, I can confirm problems with the latest IMMERSE encodes, both episodes of Falling Skies and 4x02 of True Blood.
I am still on SAF 4 and have been on it for 2 years without ANY SINGLE GLITCH. So can you guys confirm that SAF 5 or 6 will solve the problem? I am inclined to think that IMMERSE releases have some problem.

The other possible explanation is some new encoder or codec setting they have been using.

Can anyone else say something about this?

It is probably that IMMERSE uses some not so common settings that makes their releases incompatible with some codecs/players (you can read a little more details about it on my post 1 or 2 pages back)...

As hoborg mentioned with SAF6, they play fine (he tested Falling Skies Ep03 himself) but I still haven't had time to install SAF6 myself...

I installed SAF 6 yesterday and I can confirm it solves all the audio issues I had with several episodes.

I haven't tested all the different types of videos yet, but since it is still ffdshow (I came from SAF 5), I don't think it will cause eny problems.

Hi hoborg,
I have onboard graphic ATI radeon HD 3200. It plays everything pretty well. However, I have sometimes stuttering, or better said one shutter in HD video in a while. It doesn't disturb a lot but I was wondering what will/might be improved if I change to another graphic card.
Once you recommended to me
ASUS EAH5450 SILENT/DI/1GD3(LP), Radeon HD 5450, 1GB DDR3, VGA, DVI, HDMI (90-C1CP20-L0UANABZ/90-C1CP2U-L0UANAYZ)

Is it still this one or maybe better
ASUS EAH6450 SILENT/DI/1GD3(LP), Radeon HD 6450, 1GB DDR3, VGA, DVI, HDMI (90-C1CQ0F-L0UANAYZ

Do you or anybody else have experience with this card?
Regards
Bart

Hi.
Oh, no ASUS, at last no ASUS6450...

Here is my Radeon tips:

When switching between analog audio jack (like when testing or using old amp)
- and -
connecting to amp via optical SPDIF digital audio ...

What is the easiest, most fool-proof way of doing that?

I have been doing:
Uninstall, reboot
Re-install (answering the install option question the other way), reboot
