After it is started, press "O" on the keyboard for OPTIONS, or go VIEW then OPTIONS from the menu. From there, click on INTERNAL FILTERS on the LEFT, and you should be on your way. PeAcE. |

For Vista, use EVR Custom as your renderer (and you might want to disable VMR9 Mixer Mode if using EVR Custom as well). The second settings page there is because when you use hardware acceleration, you have to disable VobSub. With VobSub disabled, you have to use MPC-HC's internal subtitle filter to display softsubs, which by default has incredibly shitty settings. The settings shown above should work perfectly (tested with [gg]'s release of Code Geass R2). |

That is when playing the Air video... When playing some Gundams... Not so lucky... This post has been edited by BOZZY on Sep 25 2008, 04:38 PM |

Please confirm/deny that hardware acceleration is coming on. To do this, play an h.264 video in MPC, and while it is playing go to Play->Filters->MPC Video Decoder. First, confirm that "Enable DXVA" is checked. If it is, see if the greyed-out text says "Not Using DXVA" or "H.264 bitstream decoder, no FGT." The former is obvious; the latter means that hardware acceleration is indeed working. If "MPC Video Decoder" is not present, there's your problem. See below. If acceleration is not working for you, one of the following is true: -You have not blocked your other h.264 playback filters; therefore MPC's decoder is not running. Block all other h.264 decoders, and make sure that MPC's is checked. -Your output settings are not correct. Make sure you're using EVR Custom in Vista or VMR9 Renderless in XP. -You have not blocked VobSub and switched to MPC's internal subtitle filter. Block VobSub, and check "Auto-load Subtitles" in the Playback page of MPC's settings. -Your video card does not support h.264 bitstream decoding. -The video you are trying to decode does not comply with the BluRay standard for h.264. You can confirm this with MediaInfo; look for the number of reference frames. THORA releases, for instance, have a uselessly large amount of reference frames which do not comply with BluRay standards and therefore do not work with hardware acceleration. Please remember that hardware acceleration was designed with DVDs and BluRay discs in mind, not files on your computer. Therefore, the files on your computer need to comply with either the DVD or BluRay standards for hardware decoding to work. | ||

MPC settings are not global, right? I can have 2 different versions installed with different settings and they won't interfere with each other, am I right? |

IDW SIMPLETON Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,168 Member No.: 17,668 Joined: May 7th 2006 Location: Mandeville, Jamaica | I believe that the settings in one will affect the other. This is from having an older CCCP installed with MPC, and downloading and extracting MPC-HC. MPC-HC had all the settings of MPC even though it was my first time running it. I'd suggest you get rid of one. PeAcE. |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Khat is correct. MPC settings are global. Please get rid of any version of MPC you may have except for MPC-HC, and then use the "Reset All Settings" feature within MPC to reset the registry. To further prevent interference, you could also use the "Save Settings to .ini" feature. This post has been edited by Nomake Wan on Sep 26 2008, 02:05 PM |

Those videos will simply not trigger hardware acceleration. If your CPU is beefy enough it won't make a difference. If it's not (for instance, my poor little single-core Athlon 64), then it'll be choppy to the point where it'll be unwatchable. | ||

I followed everything said so far, and also a note from N1 about how to switch to MPC Video Renderer, yet some videos, well, no longer have any video... |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | I'm honestly not sure what's going on on his end. I'd have to actually be there to figure it out, probably. Some ATi conflict or something? Dunno. Works fine on my end with only those directions. |

IDW Posts A Freaking LOT Member Group: Advanced Members Posts: 28,412 Member No.: 1,414 Joined: Mar 9th 2004 Location: Update Profile | Well I switched to an earlier version of HC, not the one packed with CCCP, and it seems to work fine now. |

IDW SIMPLETON Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,168 Member No.: 17,668 Joined: May 7th 2006 Location: Mandeville, Jamaica | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXVA For those who want to read up more on what DXVA is and whatnot. +99 Kudos to N1 for doing his research and keeping us up to date. Has anyone tested this with an ATI card as yet? Results? Difference in settings? On another note - asking anyone or N1 (hehe) to tell me what the results of this pic is all about. And why it says DXVA 1.0 for some, and not DXVA 2.0 for all of the settings. PeAcE. This post has been edited by khat17 on Oct 10 2008, 04:50 AM |

That's actually a very simple answer, and I'm glad you asked. FOR SCIENCE! There are two types of DXVA calls, and they are not universal. Some calls can be handled either way, but others will require using DXVA1 or DXVA2. Most raw decoding operations are handled with DXVA1 calls (ModeMPEG2_C, ModeMPEG2_D, ModeH264_VLD_NoFGT), whereas post-processing calls are more typically handled by DXVA2 calls (Inverse Telecine, Motion Compensation, General Post Processing). All I can tell from your screenshot, really, is that your card doesn't support VC-1 decoding (which makes sense; as I recall this functionality is only in the newest 9-series and 2XX series cards). I'm also going to wager a guess that the "Unknown" DXVA function is actually the decoder for WMV9. | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Just to note, my DXVA Checker results are exactly the same as Khat's; makes sense considering both our cards use the G92 core logic. |

IDW SIMPLETON Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,168 Member No.: 17,668 Joined: May 7th 2006 Location: Mandeville, Jamaica | The ATI cards seem to be getting better tho - not surprising considering AMD. But I'm wondering if it's worth making a switch............like to a 4xxx HD series from my 8800 GTS. Those ATI cards are going for sub USD$100 now. PeAcE. |

I had no idea that MPLAYER does this as well - will have to test this on Linux. | ||
