Codecs SAF v5.02 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder) (9 Viewers)

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

Hi, I've a little issue...

It worked all well in the beginning, now my 720p/1080p mkv's stutter when played back. (No, I've not changed a bit in the system's config! )
The sound as well as the video stutters.
Played in MPC-HC using the same codec (ffdshow dxva) all plays well with great quality. back in MP it stutters.
Settings in MP Config as per page one here.
Anyone an idea???

Attached what graphedit says....

Looks like MePo EVR renderer issue - try this

Another SAF out:

SAF 5.00 SVN100714:
- ALL - added check for certain software installation
- ALL - added SAF in to Add/remove programs
- ALL - added "xSD" profile to disable DXVA for SD videos
- ALL - fixed FFDShow profiles was not laded (broken in SVN 100712)

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

It is recomended to use older version 7.x, but 8 or 9 can be fine too (not sure about v.10)...

I have no problems running SAF5.0 for MP and PDVD10 for Blu-ray together.

However it fails in mediaportal with the following error

This is a little bit annoying as I have burnt some files to DVD with the mp4 suffix

Is this a configuration issue or a a problem/bug in the renderer?

Thanks

Anjin:

Please try this build.

Messed extensions FLV<->MP4 should now work.

Yellow are SAF one, but black???

Disable SAF (durning SAF setup) or MePo subtitles (no idea which one you prefer...)

I´d like to have it as fine and white as it I allways have had it. thought there was any "original" settings, since it has looked the same for many years now, but suddenly it looks diffrent and as now have both yellow and black subtilltles over it.

That was quick!

Yes I tried this build on one MP client and both extensions played.

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

i recently downloaded a release of BBC Life but MePo won't playback. When tried with MPC HC or VLCplayer no luck either. The HHD just keeps rummbling but nothing shows. Here's the file info, anyone know why it won't play?
