Re: VC-1 issues (VC1)

Are you sure that the PDVD10 codec is used under MP?

Can you run MP in windowed mode and connect to it with GrapStudio while it is playing to double check that PDVD10 codec is used?

Off course it's being used, but i've added another screenshot for you.

Re: VC-1 issues (VC1)

BTW, last time i tryed LAVF + PDVD10 decoder for interlaced VC-1, the timestamps was broken - video play at wrong speed. That was fixed?

LAVF is future, but it will take a lot of time until nevcairiel fix/add all features.

I thought it was fixed but it looks like i'm experiencing those problems with 1080p + TrueHD now. And according to a reply of Nevcairiel:

I might have figured out the cause of the videos not starting. The MPC-HC splitters all have some funny code to interpolate timestamps when none exist, and i didnt implement anything like that yet. The files i tested all seem to have no proper timestamps on the first few video frames, thus causing the renderer to fail, as it doesnt know when to show them.

Going to investigate some more.

Why would it take Nevcairiel a lot of time to add all features? If he keeps working on it like he's doing now
If the timestamp issue is fixed, i think i'm ready to use it on my stable system!

Re: VC-1 issues (VC1)

without dxva

ffdshow can't decode VC-1i with or without dxva as ffmpeg doesn't support VC-1i decoding. If you can decode using ffdshow then its using the wrapper for Microsofts decoder, which will leave you with jumpy video when viewing .m2ts files with gabests MPEG splitter.

This is the best I can come up with...

ffdshow DXVA
WORKS WITH:
Anything progressive including Gabests MPEG Splitter (Blu-ray handler)
DOES NOT WORK WITH:
Anything interlaced

Microsoft DMO
WORKS WITH:
Interlaced/Progressive files (MKV, TS, MT2S if not using Gabests MPEG Splitter)
DOES NOT WORK WITH:
Gabests MPEG Splitter (Blu-ray handler) - half frame rate/jumpy

Arcsoft Decoder:
WORKS WITH:
Interlaced/Progressive files (MKV, TS, MT2S if not using Gabests MPEG Splitter)
DOES NOT WORK WITH:
Gabests MPEG Splitter (Blu-ray handler) - half frame rate/jumpy

If ffdshow (ffmpeg) supported VC-1i then all would be solved... thing is, its been listed on the ffmpeg Google summer of code page 2 years in a row and has never been solved...

Anybody got any other news?

Your info is outdated, it is working just fine now.
Try latest SAF5

Re: VC-1 issues (VC1)

I don't use SAF, causes more problems than it solves. Has Gabests MPEG Splitter been updated? I'll try the latest standalone filters.

Can you be more specific?

Re: VC-1 issues (VC1)

I like to have control of my codecs. I don't like to use codec packs that try and set things up for me.

Are you saying that Gabests MPEG Spliiter now works with Microsoft DMO and you don't get jumpy video? I'm sure I'm using the latest version and still get jumpy video from Blu-ray using the Blu-ray handler which uses Gabests MPEG Splitter.

What does SAF do differently?

I have two VC-1i *.m2ts samples, both didn't work correctly before, now they play with correct timestamps on my PC (Win7X64 + ATI 5770) and HTPC (WinXP + ATI 5450).

If you don't like SAF, you can figure it by yourself, it is a secret
