Im using a nvidia GeForce 8200M G. Can the card support DXVA?

Processor: Core2Duo T6600 @2.2Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8200M G
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit
RAM: 4GB (Only around 3.5Gb is used since system is on 32bit)

As far as I know the 8200M is a PureVideo 3 card, so it should work with DXVA. Try with MPC-HC (see 1st post).

Hey, dont know if this thread is alive still or not seeing the last reply date, buti got some problems with this and i hope some guys are willing to help.

MY SPECS:
Zotac Ion (single core N230 atom + GeForce 9400M)
Last drivers from Nvidia site (also tried the one that I found on Zotac, and the one Windows recommends)
4gb ram (dont remember brand)
Windows 7 -32 bit - Buisness - Clean install
Dvi - Dvi on a 1080p monitor.

I tried follow the tutorial as best as i could. In step 4 i set EVR buffers to 4 (my lowest avalible setting). In step 6 I didnt find ffdshow Video Decoder, but i blocked coreAVC.

I got problem with most 1080p movies, frame skips and sound stutters.

Internal Filters

External Filters

Test 1

Test 2

Test 3

Dxva check

I have a better idea, use CoreAVC. That GPU can't handle 1080p.

Thanks for answering that. I tried it now and it works but i have a problem, when Im watching a file that is linked (those types that have the OP and ED as a different file) After playing either the OP or ED, the main video is becoming pixelized. Only happens when I watched linked videos though.

like this: http://www.cccp-project.net/forums/index.php?topic=4113.0 ?
no solution with MPC-HC's internal DXVA filter or MS' decoder, but no problems if using CoreAVC's CUDA (if your graphics card supports it).

I got DXVA to work on my netbook just fine, but i can either get DXVA and overlay to work, but no subtitles, or DXVA and subtitles, but no overlay.
Currently using windows XP SP3

card is Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 500
with updated drivers Intel Corporation US15 Embedded Graphics Chipset Function 0 which allows it to have overlay and acceleration

namaiki · « **Reply #65 on:** January 12, 2010, 10:10:56 PM »

No, you can't use overlay + DXVA on anything, except with CoreAVC and supporting GeForce graphics cards, though that is a little different.

rennya · « **Reply #66 on:** January 13, 2010, 11:40:28 PM »

In Windows XP, DXVA works with overlay mixer, but no subtitles of course.

^^ whups I meand DirectVobsub/VSFilter, not overlay..

DXVA = no VSFilter and so you have to use MPC's internal subtitle renderer.

i can either get DXVA and overlay to work, but no subtitles
overlay doesn't support MPC's internal subtitle renderer

or DXVA and subtitles, but no overlay.
to have subtitles you need to use MPC's internal subtitle renderer and so, I believe EVR-Custom or VMR9(rendererless) must be used.

hmm.. i wonder if theres a way to imprint subs on videos, such as a program that writes the subs to the video based off timing and positiioning information

What do you mean? Aegisub does that.. I think, unless I am misunderstanding you.

If by imprint, you mean hard-sub, you can re-encode mkv with softsubs to a video with hardsubs.

Though, I have no idea what you mean by 'positiioning information'..

Why can't I set Frame Time Correction and Output Range with VMR-9 Renderless?

namaiki · « **Reply #71 on:** February 09, 2010, 05:40:48 AM »

What operating system and why would you want to use either of those functions? (unless you're on Windows XP)

Xemnarth · « **Reply #72 on:** February 10, 2010, 03:11:09 AM »

I use VMR9 Renderless on XP and EVR Custom pres. on Win7. The latter can use those functions although I don't really know what they actually do. Would appreciate if someone could elaborate on that.

namaiki · « **Reply #73 on:** February 10, 2010, 03:15:42 AM »

You only need to enable Frame Time Correction if you experience video stuttering (you generally *do not* want to have this enabled).

For output range, compare colours to Haali Renderer's default settings (side by side -just open two copies of MPC and make sure under Play-> Filters that differerent renderers are being used in either window) and see if you might need to use it.

well what can cause stuttering? how does it really look like? is it the same as tearing?

It is not the same as tearing. Stuttering is like shaking of the video (backwards and forwards). Tearing is having two images on the screen at the same time, say top half and bottom half of image are not of the same frame(generally there will be a noticable line horizontally across the screen).

I've tried playing Ponyo 1080p http://bakabt.me/149876-ponyo-on-the-cliff-by-the-sea-2009-1080p-bluray-h264-flac-ac3-niizk.html using the VMR9 renderless on the latest beta of MPC-HC and Haali MediaSplitter. Can't play smoothly on WinXP even with using DXVA on a 9500GT, you need CoreAVC. However, Win7 could play it just fine with EVR custom pres. and DXVA without the need for CoreAVC. I've tried other 1080p videos on XP and they play smoothly without issues. I don't know why it's only with Ponyo DXVA doesn't even start. (Maybe it's not supported?)

namaiki · « **Reply #77 on:** February 10, 2010, 03:39:19 AM »

Try download MPC-HC from the website( http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/download-media-player-classic-hc.html - SVN is probably fine too), unzip it and in the same folder make a blank text file called mpc-hc.ini (or maybe the same name as the mpc application)

Open MPC-HC and only make the change to VMR9 renderless and tick auto-load subtitles.

You could also try http://www.bigandfree.com/11384042 from http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/ but then you might as well use CoreAVC + CUDA thing, which would be better as you would not have to use 'Auto-load subitles' which is MPC-HC's internal subtitle render and you could use VSFilter instead.

This is the latest official version, but AFAIK development on this project has stopped. I already have the latest beta downloaded and installed from XvidVideo.RU why do I need to go back to the older version?

It probably doesn't matter(as I wrote above ''SVN is probably fine too''), but that 'older version' is their latest 'stable' version.

What do you mean? Latest changes I see are from ~5 hours ago.
