XBMC 10 + ATI HD 4200 + High@L5/L5.1 content = problem with DXVA playback - Interceptor - 2011-01-01 Happy New Year to everyone! The title basically says it all - I've tried searching the forums and found out that it's a common problem with ATI cards, but it should have been solved in Catalyst 10.4 with UVD2 cards, but I don't find it to be true My HTPC specs: - AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2 GHz, dual-core) - ASRock A785GMH/128M motherboard (785G+SB710) - ATI Radeon HD 4200 IGP with 256 MB (128 MB sideport + 128 MB shared) - 2 GB RAM (DDR2-800) Software: - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (with all the updates) - ATI Catalyst 10.12 (latest) - XBMC 10 (latest) I can playback this file fine: Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 4 frames Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 2h 41mn Bit rate : 15.5 Mbps Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.311 Stream size : 17.5 GiB (89%) Title : x264 - crf encode @ 55% of the original bitrate Writing library : x264 core 93 r1542 5b86182 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=64 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=5 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=2 / wpredb=1 / wpredp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=25 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=40 / rc=crf / mbtree=0 / crf=19.0 / qcomp=0.80 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / vbv_maxrate=38000 / vbv_bufsize=30000 / crf-max=0.0 / ip_ratio=1.40 / pb_ratio=1.30 / aq=1:1.00 / nal_hrd=none Language : English But not this one: Format : AVC Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec Format profile : [email protected] Format settings, CABAC : Yes Format settings, ReFrames : 5 frames Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC Duration : 1h 36mn Bit rate : 5 000 Kbps Width : 1 920 pixels Height : 1 080 pixels Display aspect ratio : 16:9 Frame rate mode : Variable Frame rate : 23.976 fps Color space : YUV Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0 Bit depth : 8 bits Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.101 Stream size : 3.29 GiB (85%) Writing library : x264 core 88 Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:-1:1 / analyse=0x3:0x133 / me=umh / subme=9 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=32 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / mbaff=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=6 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / wpredb=1 / wpredp=2 / keyint=240 / keyint_min=24 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=50 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=5000 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00 Language : English Color primaries : BT.709-5, BT.1361, IEC 61966-2-4, SMPTE RP177 Transfer characteristics : BT.709-5, BT.1361 Matrix coefficients : BT.709-5, BT.1361, IEC 61966-2-4 709, SMPTE RP177 I can playback both files using DXVA normally on my main computer with NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT 512 MB Is there a solution to this problem or will I be forced to buy a new VGA card? I went for the ATI because NVIDIA has problems with Philips LCD TVs (something to do with EDID) and it's impossible to have HDMI audio enabled. Thanks in advance. - poofyhairguy - 2011-01-01 Thanks for the heads up. This is the thread I will link to when people ask my why I NEVER recommend AMD GPUs for any OS. Enjoy your new Nvidia GPU- for a suggestion a GT210 plays anything not heavily de-interlaced and it has an onboard audio chip that is way better than previous offerings. With the new Nvidia driver many HDCP handshake issues have been solved- heck it even works with my 3D TV that is listed as not compatible on their website! Worth a shot. Ghostbusters. - Interceptor - 2011-01-02 I have the latest NVIDIA WHQL drivers and the EDID problem with my Philips TV still isn't solved When HDMI audio is enabled, I get a blank screen + Unsupported Video Format message on my TV every few seconds. I'm currently circumventing this problem by using SPDIF optical out but that only works for stereo! There is no way for me to get digital surround sound directly to my receiver for now. So, with ATI and NVIDIA out of the picture, I really have no options left. I was considering Intel GMA 4500HD a couple of months ago, but back then, they had all sorts of problems with HD decoding. Now I'm stuck with an AMD/ATI platform that's only partially usable. - poofyhairguy - 2011-01-02 Interceptor Wrote:I'm currently circumventing this problem by using SPDIF optical out but that only works for stereo! There is no way for me to get digital surround sound directly to my receiver for now. Using the motherboard's SPDIF out only lets you have two channel PCM? SPDIF should easily pass through AC3 and DTS to your receiver via your motherboard's audio chipset. Something else is up.

Intel is the worst. - CrystalP - 2011-01-02 You can try bumping the video memory, who knows. The 4200 has UVD2 but the known working 4xxx have UVD2.2. There's little reliable information available about the limits. I remember another report of a problematic IGP 4250 and will consider blacklisting them for out of spec files but I need more details to make sure it really is the problem. Please post a complete debug log where you play the L5.0 file that doesn't work. Please try the out-of-spec samples mentionned in the Intel DXVA thread here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=83743 and report. - Interceptor - 2011-01-03 CrystalP Wrote:You can try bumping the video memory, who knows. CrystalP, you're a life saver! I have successfully played Quantum of Solace trailer and the video from my first post that didn't want to play I can't find the link to Samsung Demo video? The one in your post is broken. Bumping the memory to 128 MB sideport + 256 MB shared solved the problem! I am now running 128 + 512 configuration since 1.5 GB of RAM will be more than enough for playing music/movies (around 50% is free after running XBMC). THANK YOU VERY MUCH! |
