If you are using SAF (FFDShow) subtitle engine, just press CTRL+ALT+numpad +/- for "on the fly" subtitles delay.

Thx. Its working if i am using ffdshow subtitiles engine, but if i use mediaportal built in subtitle engine it's not. When playing xvid/divx (avi container) videos its not a problem, but watching 720p and 1080p (mkv) videos it will disable DXVA and will put on knees my processor. Any workaround?

You need ask in correct thread, not here, this is not SAF related.

Hi hoborg,

Im having stutter problems with my live hd-tv channels. Im using W7x64 MP1.1RC3, SAF5.0 (unlocked) with powerdvd decoder. ATI at forced vector de-int.
my quick off-topic question is
1- can a HD4350 (1gb) handle 1080 vector adaptive deinterlacing? I mean, technically yes, but is it fluent or pushing the card very hard.
2- would a HD5450 or 5550 be able to do this with ease?

thank for any response hoborg.

Hi.
Hard to say.

My ATI5450 can handle it without any problem, but i tested only TS recording outside MePo (in Graphstudio).

@Hoborg, can you test for me with MP and or Graphstudio what the load is of your ATI5450 when watching HD TV + deinterlacing? You can monitor the GPU activity (and temperature) in CCC overdrive tab . I found out/learned it does matter if you have full screen or windowed small screen, so can you specify that ? If its too much fuzz its ok as well.
The load of ATI4350 is with
1/2 screen ~60%
3/4 screen ~70-85%
1/1 screen (not tested yet, will do tonight)

@globaldonkey Thanks for the response too

Can you provide testing sample (i do not have acess to HDTV)?

I will only test under Graphstudio, i do not have MePo installed on my HTPC.

Hi Hoborg,

I created a captures (TS)
It is avc1 (MPEG2 1920x1080) 25fps if im not mistaking...

You can grab it here:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5Fv4ZUMn12ZMjNhMzg0ZmUtMDhmMC00MTkzLTk3YjAtZTdiZjkxNWUyYTA0&hl=en

i tested this file in full screen in graphedit and mepo. its between 77-83% activity of the hd4350
Funny thing is, the GPU activity is fairly constant. The CPU load throttles from 20-90% up and down every time I see a frame-drop is about to occur.

I tested your sample under WinXP and graphstudio, ATI 5450 + PDVD10 DXVA decoder, 720p (fullscreen), ATI edge ench. and de-noise enabled (values set to "1") +enforce smooth video playback enabled - GPU load was ~80-85% (FFDShov DXVA decoder have ~60%) - perfect playback.

hoborg: A bit OT, but do you know what the "enforce smooth video playback" actually does?

It adjusts the enhancements/eye candy in a way your graphics card can handle it. For example: I turns edge enhancement off or de-interlacing.
Just leave this option unticked if your VGA is powerfull enough

--correct me if I'm wrong. But this is what I think it's doing (after trying).
