Re: SAF v5.01 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

they say its a codec Problem.

When i move the file into Videos folder and try to play it, it stillt doestn work. So i dont think its an Online Videos problem

It cannot work, it is text file, not a video!
Direct show cannot handle it by itself. It need player that support it.

Re: SAF v5.01 *final* (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

hello.

i just installed SAF 5.01 unlocked after using SAF 4 for some time. unfortunately i cannot play any mkv files in MePo and MPC-HC. i tried using ffdshow dxva video decoder and PDVD10 video decoder in MePo but after starting playblack it returns to the mainmenu. in MPC-HC the audio-stream seems to play just fine, but the display stays black. i think there is nothing unusual in graph studio - playback of mkv is also fine, audio and video.
here are some configuration screenshots that might help:




does somebody have an idea?
thanks in advance.

System:
Win7 Ultimate
Athlon64 3500
Asrock with AMD790GX
2GB DDR
AMD HD5450 via HDMI on Onkyo AV-Receiver SR507
MePo 1.1.2.0

Greetings,
kekz

how can you explain that with saf4.0 asx web streams are working and after installing saf5.1 it doesnt work anymore? Thats a bit curious.

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help!

Been using SAF since the SAF 4 thread was less than 50 pages, and been on SAF 5 since the start. But with the latest two versions of 'final' i have been having problems with a couple of films, really bad stutter, 'shift +1' shows frames being dropped.

I have followed the SAF 5 set up from page one, as i have done from the start. So if i understand correctly i should be using ffdshow, but connecting to remote graph in graphstudio, shows i am using power dvd 10 codec. If i open the film in graphstudio it does the same but i can change the graph to use ffdshow, which instantly stops the stuttering. I have tried changing the merits in graphstudio to decrease powerdvd and increase ffdshow, but still it won't use it.

Any ideas / suggestions

Cheers

Si

Sorry forgot to add film details:

Harry potter and the chamber of secrets, also the bourne supermacy. both VC-1 format in mkv containers. But both have played before in MP with SAF, using standard settings

Can you give me link or tell me how to reproduce it in MePo?

START - SAF - FFDshow - configure FFDShow DXVA and enable VC-1 decoding here (this will broke interlaced VC-1 playback)

mhh i can try to.
i've installed saf4 ( the old version from your website) and configured as you show in your saf4 start post.
Then this File is playing in Online Videos.
With Saf 5.01 and config as shown in this threads start post and the file couldnt be played.

At the moment .asx files with saf4 doenst work anymore. I'm going crazy with this codecs and configuration things.

is saf more recommed for win xp users than for win7 users?


i'll give saf5.01 another try, maybe some configs are bad.
EDIT: ok saf5.01 installed and config from start post. With VMR9 Renderer i got black screen, only sound.
with EVR it works but really bad stutter i think DXVA isnt working.





looks like it is not using dxva decoder?

Hi H, you write this: -if you have Win7 then using Win7 video decoder is recommended for both MPEG-2 and H.264
Whats the win 7 decoder name?? i have non called win7.. ?
