AW: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

Hi!

I tried to install SAV v6.00 on my two HTPC´s! On the first machine everthing is fine and works correct!
Then i copied the SAF installer and the Unlock Key to my second machine! Installer shows "Unlocked" Status, but no download is available! Also the SAF Tools Order is missing after installation!

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

since a while all of my bluray movies don't show subtitles anymore.
switched from ffdshow to powerdvd decoders but that didn't work, so any idea what it can be?

After some daily usage, it seems PDVD11 has "broken" SDTV decoding... You can see what we see in this screenshot:

Thanks a lot.

No problem here...

Hello, i have a problem and how i can fix it. Iwill use pdvd11 for both mpeg2 and h.264 on video and tv tab also pdvd11 for dvd and for all 3 categories the lav audio codec with passthrough.

I set this on mepo but when i ckeck it in graphstudio he use ffdshow for video and when the videofile have dts or dd5.1 no lav was used for audio ffdshow is used, because i set pdvd and lav in mepo.

In the ffdshow settings i set the merit to 0 but no changes. Can you help me?

D3ltoroxp:

PDVD cannot play all video formats. Maybe your video file is just this case (it is not h.264 or MPEG-2).
Try to disable DTS decoding in FFDshow setings. BTW - you cannot use LAVF audio decoder to play DVDs (FFDshow audio decoder is in use instead) - is not this your case?

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

Hmm, are you sure you have latest SAF6 installed? I have no problem to play your sample.

Yea, its filename is "saf600_110531.exe". I guess filmerit broke something while fixing some errors (without the fixes I can't use MePo), because I can't even reinstall without killing that part of the registry (the number of filters goes down to 50 after reinstalling and no media can be played anymore).

Got it fixed by myself. The problem was the splitter for flv-files. I downloaded this one, moved it to my SysWOW64 folder and activated it by using "regsrv32". After that I played around in GraphStudio until I got that splitter used over the LAV-Splitter.

Now everything seems to be in place, but I don't know why it didn't work by default. Maybe some bug with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (it's an original and legal license for my name, so no changed dll or anything else)?

Edit: Seems like the whole splitter is broken. There are still some online videos not working... I'll try to find a better solution the next days and report back, though most videos are working now and I found out that you can use VLC for your player in MePo.

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

Anbody have problems playing DVDs?
If yes, can you try to change FFDshow Codec from Libavcodec to Libmpeg2 for MPEG2?

There was some crashing/freezes last time i try it, but maybe it is fixed now.

Please try and report.

Before i had a black screen when playing DVD. Now changed it to libmpeg2 and it seems to work now.
Thanks!

Re: SAF v6.00 (based on LAVF)

hoborg,

Since I changed the codec to libmpeg2 yesterday I have not had any issues. I will load the latest build and see how it works.

On a side note do you recommend using ffdshow DXVA or PDVD11 for bluray?
