LAV Filters - DirectShow Media Splitter and Decoders

[mark0077]

Thanks Nev!

[Skibicki]

Thanks, this update gave a nice performance boost.

Without A Paddle DVD

Setup
MPC-HC 1.6.5.6174 – audio switcher off – internal filters off + LAV Filters 0.53.1 – mixing on

Working
EVR, avcodec
EVR, dxva2n – no menu highlighting
EVR CP, avcodec
EVR CP, dxva2n – same as EVR

Broken
dxva2cb (all renderers) - play button works but delayed, all others menus behave identical to previous bug report

Without A Paddle DVD is getting stuck on the title menu.
- go to title menu
- hit scene selection
The title screen image will be frozen but when the mouse is moved a finger pointer appears when hovering over the spots where scene numbers would be.

VMR9 R (all decoders) - blank video/only audio during trailers

I fixed DXVA2 CB, it wasn't properly flushing the image out of its display queue.

For the other points:
- dxva2n is not supposed to show menu overlays at this time
- VMR9 works fine for me (and since you seem to be on Win7, there is no reason to even try to use it)

LAV Video 0.53.1 falls back to 'avcodec' for H.264 it seems, avoiding the 'QuickSync' decoder, see atached image. LAV Video is used inside the DVBViewer for live streams. Splitter is the DVBViewer's own DVB Source filter.

LAV Video 0.51.3 works fine.

[nevcairiel]

Will be fixed in the next version.

PS:
For the record, attachments take very long to be approved here, so avoid using them.

LAV Filters 0.53.2

LAV Video
- Fixed DVD menu still frames with DXVA2 Copy Back
- Fixed Live TV playback with QuickSync

Download: Installer (both x86/x64) -- Zips: 32-bit & 64-bit

Nothing big in this version, two small fixes that should make a good stable version now.

Please let me know if you still encounter any DVD issues, in the menu or otherwise.
If you still have a problematic menu, you can extract only the menu from a DVD by simply zip'ing up all the IFO/BUP files, the VIDEO_TS.VOB, and all VTS_xx_0.VOBs (VTS files ending with 0 are for menus, 1 and above are content).

Take care.

Hi!

The filters are doing a great job in my system except one thing:
Using LAV-Video in (any) TV-Software sets my Deinterlacing back to BOB in CCC (HD7950).

Any hints on that?

[nevcairiel]

LAV does not influence any of your drivers settings.

But when I use the PDVD12-Codec, the DeInt stays at VA ...

H.264 live video is fixed with QuickSync decoder. Impressive bugfixing skills. ;-) Pretty solid release I'd say. Thanks!

Duplicate ID not a problem?

The Bad News Bears (1976) DVD
Looks like a player problem. The DVD had copy protect errors with internal filters, LAV Filters and Windows defaults codecs. Decrypting fixed it. I may need some advice on getting a video sample.

Using LAV-Video in (any) TV-Software sets my Deinterlacing back to BOB in CCC (HD7950).

This is a bug in some ATI drivers. Sometimes, the value for deinterlace mode is still correct, but the CCC shows something wrong.

Since those two are not used on the same properties page, its not a problem, but i'll change it anyway, thanks.

Is there a way to toggle between different subtitles within a file during playback with a keybind?

Do you know the registry-value, where I can check this?

"S"/"Shift-S" in MPC HC.

[AndreaMG]

Thanks Nev for the new dvd hardware/software decoding option

[CiNcH]

Got a question concerning DVD's copy protection... I can see that LAV uses DeCSS. How about ARccOS? Is it still used on recent DVD's? Does LAV or DeCSS handle this properly?

[nevcairiel]

The DeCSS code is never used, the DVD Navigator decrypts the disc already.
