Codecs SAF v6 (based on LAVF) (13 Viewers)

Thanks, but the deinterlacing filter is not checked by default. Is OK?

Yes. MPEG-2 is output as NV12 = you will have HW deinterlacing in use.

I'm sorry but my english is not very good, probably I explained badly.
You told me that the difference between "200_MPEG-2 SD (DVD/LiveTV)Local" profile and the "210_MPEG-2 HD (LiveTV/Local)" is that HD have deinterlacing option.

But deinterlacing option in HD profile is disable by defaut too, so both profiles are identical (by default).
...... or not?

I tried installing SAF 6.02 to try to cure my problem of MKVs with FLAC audio not having sound. Although it did fix that problem, I wasn't very impressed, for three reasons:

1) The version of ffdshow installed with SAF didn't have all of the audio options that Beta 7 has (e.g. the "Volume" section).
2) When I then installed SAF without ffdshow, I couldn't install ffdshow myself (config windows just wouldn't open).
3) When I uninstalled SAF, my FLAC-in-MKV problem was still fixed. Technically this is great news for me but his means that the uninstall process doesn't completely undo everything the SAF installer does, which is bad.

Currently I have SAF uninstalled and am back to my three-pronged-attack of LAV Filters, Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow. Between them, they are currently handling everything. I haven't got my HDTV card yet but I hear that LAV Audio works with LATM AAC so that should be fine too.

There was a problems with HD MPEG-2 files and HW deinterlacing. So i created separate profile for such files and add posiibility to use SW deinterlacing.
Simply if you dont have any problems with MPEG-2 HD files, there is no need to care about that.

Hi.
1) it have, but they are hidden - you can add it in FFDshow settings. They are hidden by default, becouse i try to make SAF as easy as possible.
2) and why you want to install FFDshow over FFDshow? Durning SAf install, you can only disable FFDshow audio decoder, not whole FFDshow.
3) maybe you had some mess in registry which was fixed by SAF

BTW, why you mess haali with LAV? LAV splitter is much better

I don't have Haali splitter installed, actually. It's in my folder of "stuff to install for MediaPortal" but I don't think I ever did install it because, like you say, LAV Splitter is very good. There is still a file that won't play in MediaPortal though (but it does play in MPC-HC) so I might try installing Haali Splitter to see if it fixes it.

Hi.

Where exactly can I add these options?

2) and why you want to install FFDshow over FFDshow? Durning SAf install, you can only disable FFDshow audio decoder, not whole FFDshow.

Well because of the missing options of course...also, I didn't know ffdshow was always installed even if it was unticked in the installer. Not very intuitive.

3) maybe you had some mess in registry which was fixed by SAF

Maybe but I don't exactly have many codecs installed - like I said above, LAV Filters and ffdshow were the only ones AFAIK.

@DragonQ:

START - SAF - FFDshow - Audio decoder configuration - here Show/hide filters - you can add what do you like

In SAF installer there is a FFDshow Audio decoder - that is not intuitive?

I was not speaking about codecs, but about mess in registry.

I see, thank you.

From what I remember, I just unticked "ffdshow" in the installer. There was no mention of it just being the audio decoder.

I was not speaking about codecs, but about mess in registry.

Sure but what would've messed up the registry if it wasn't a codec/filter or codec/filter installer?

Then check that again

It is hard to say what was wrong on your old system config.

EDIT: Never mind, I think you meant something else.

Hi,
after I installed SAF 6.0.2 on my new HTPC (E-450) it begun playing with delay from network drive (about 10 to 30s). With SAF 5.0.2 is everything OK. Tested on new installed system (both Win XP, Win7)
Some ideas?
