NA H.264 Success with CoreAVC 1.6!!!!

[toshiba]

I purchased the CoreAVC codec and installed last night, and to my amazement all of my h.264 problems went away.

I am running DVBDream 1.4 on Vista Enterprise Ed. E6600 processor at 2.4GHz, getting about 20-30% CPU usage. 4GB of ram, the video buffer meter on the video options page stays about 1/3 full constantly. Intervideo is the audio codec with default direct sound device, and cyberlink for mpeg2 video with generic video renderer because it always handles aspect ratio correctly -- even though it gives an error when I try to click "Okay" on the video options panel, so I just cancel. VMR and VMR9 do not handle the aspect ratios automatically. I have used this set up with an 8600GT and an 8800GTX.

No freezing, stuttering or audio synch issues.

I hope this info helps some of you guys who were having audio synch problems on 1080i h.264 and stuttering problems on 720p h.264.

Cheers.

I purchased coreavc 1.6 as well. It seems to be working with 1.4, but I can't seem to get it working with 1.4a. Are you using 1.4 or 1.4a? Can you paste your codecs? (control-g, click the 1) I can't tell whats crashing, DD, a plugin, or the codec.

We still have a ways to go for this to be usable.

I'm not at home, so I'll past my codecs later, but I am running 1.4a. Haven't tried 1.4.b yet.

I should update above by saying that I have no h.264 problems, but mpeg2 channels are choppy on occasion. I have to close DVBDream and relaunch it to make the choppiness stop. I have tried NVidia, Cyberlink, and Intervideo for the mpeg2 video codecs and they all get choppy after switching from an h.264 channel or if I leave it on the same channel for a long period of time (a few hours). I have tried Cyberlink, Intervideo and NVidia for the audio codecs.

Sometimes there is also an issue with my Genpix adapter not closing "gracefully"...I have to power cycle it to get things going again. Otherwise DVBDream just hangs until I get an app error. I usually have to kill it in task manager.

Also, I have noticed the memory leak. DVBDream was using 800MB of RAM after leaving it running all night.

A question for Rel: How come DVBDream only sees my system as having 1GB of RAM when I have more?

A known bug, fixed in 1.4b.
