Do you really have a directory named "I", or did you mean "I:" to indicate a Windows drive letter?

Thanks, I didn't know that there was a speed difference between x86 and x64 x264, as I haven't followed its development very closely. I guess I won't be able to switch unless Don feels like making an x64 version of Decomb some day, as that's one of my most-used plugins.

Out of curiosity, why do people want a 64-bit processing chain? The only benefit I can think of is that you would need > 4 GiB of memory to encode UHD videos, but is there some other reason? I'm not aware of x64 providing any extra speed for this kind of application. If Avs+ is generally faster than...

As a worst-case scenario, you could keep a copy of the final DGDecNV binary that supports 2.5.8 and allow registered users to request it if they have some specific need for 2.5.8 support, and then you can move ahead with 2.6 support in newer DGDecNV builds. There's no need to keep old source of that...

Yeah, I don't think XP support is a factor here, as VFW is available on XP. AviSynth 2.6 changes and updates a lot of things on the AVS side of things, but the OS doesn't really care if you use 2.6 or 2.5.8. Considering you can even compile AviSynth with something as old as MSVC1998 (and judging by ...

A VM will usually expose generic hardware to the OS running within it, so I would be surprised if it's possible to read your mainboard's serial number from within a VM. That's also why things like graphics drivers won't work: you can't install nVidia's GPU driver in a VM, because the VM tells the OS...

I never rely on WHQL certification when it comes to deciding which driver to use; I read user reports of each driver version specifically related to which driver provides the best performance on my particular GPU and the particular application where performance matters most to me. After I've collect...

Folding@home is the only one. I also using my GTX 760 for gaming, but I don't play any games new enough to benefit from nVidia's constant tweaking for Direct3D, and there is a workaround for the one instance where new drivers would improve my OpenGL performance, so I prefer to use that workaround f...

I'm on Windows 7 x64 with a GTX 760 using driver 326.80, because the 33x series of drivers introduced a regression for OpenCL applications that cuts performance by 30 - 50% and was never fixed, as nVidia doesn't care about GK104 cards anymore. The only way to avoid the bug is to use a driver no late...

Trust me, do not upgrade to 364.xx! I'm still on 326.80 to avoid the OpenCL regression nVidia introduced more than two years ago now. It's disappointing to hear that they still haven't gotten their act together, as I was hoping to be done with these problems whenever I felt the desire to get a GPU ...

You might also want to check the scan logs of your antivirus program, if you have one. It might be taking a long time to scan DGIndexNV.exe and thus delaying the startup process. Try temporarily disabling your active virus protection and then launching DGIndexNV.exe to see if it opens faster/on the ...

I would certainly hope dithering to 8 bits isn't part of the processing chain, as that rather negates the point of using 10 bits. Not only does a higher bit depth decrease banding artifacts, but it can result in up to 30% better compression, assuming the video has lots of flat blocks (e.g. animation).

If you want to use free software, AVIDemux can join clips, but audio sync could be problematic. Something like Video ReDo would probably be your best bet if you're willing to use payware.

FYI, I just got an e-mail that you posted in the binaries update thread, so all seems well on the notification-of-posts-in-locked-threads front.

The subscription link still works for me, and the binaries update notification thread now appears in my UCP in my list of subscriptions. As for you, you should find that the "LOCKED" image is actually a hyperlink that allows you to post in the thread, whereas for us peons, the link directs us to a p...

You might want to just lock the thread to prevent people from posting in it and triggering e-mail notifications for all of the subscribers. Administrators and moderators can usually post in locked threads on phpBB forums, while regular users cannot (so you could post updates without anyone else caus...

Out of curiosity, what does D3D have to do with video decoding? Why would a 3D graphics API be related to decompressing static 2D video frames?

That moldy 9600 won't take you into the coming UHD world. On the other hand, unless you can upgrade your eyes, you might not get much benefit from entering the UHD world, anyway. :lol: As far as I can tell, it's more about selling TVs (since the 3D push didn't work) than actually improving the view...

Thank you. Perhaps I will upgrade if nVidia releases some useful cards in the 1000 series.

Would you happen to know what the minimum GPU/driver requirements are for H.265 decoding, if it isn't something that all VP5+ cards are capable of out of the box?

Ah, if it's a limitation of MKV, then I agree it isn't your problem to deal with.

Yes, the sample is now detected as "FPS 239760 / 10000" which is more or less fine. Do you know why it is not written as "FPS 23976 / 1000"? More importantly, shouldn't it be detected as 24000 / 1001, as that's the true framerate? 23.976 is an approximation, just as 29.970 is an approximation for 3...

The results are used for peer-reviewed scientific journal articles that a layman such as myself cannot understand, so I can't really comment as to how useful the results have been. All I can do is hope that donating my computing time might help somebody at Stanford learn something important. I can't...

There have been multiple reports from people with GK104 cards that Folding@home performance gets halved after updating to anything after driver 327: https://foldingforum.org/viewforum.php?f=80 Here's just one report posted by a forum moderator for why the TC's GTX 770 is folding poorly: https://fold...

Why is it a pity? Who cares about OpenCL? Well, nVidia certainly doesn't. They added a bug for GK104 cards in their 330.x driver branch that cuts OpenCL performance in half, which means I can never upgrade my GPU driver without killing my Folding@home performance. Apparently nVidia doesn't care abo...
