Just curious: where might one encounter a 2560x720 stream? Isn't that a 3.55:1 aspect ratio (I never heard of such a thing)? Some custom commercial project e.g. museum or retail or ...?

I discovered my card wasn't properly seated and it has been very reliable since I fixed that. How embarrassing. :D But thanks for telling--this has happened to the best of us. I'd pulled my own GT520 so as not to get bitten by any of the glitches reported in here. Maybe I'll get it out of the box a...

I don't know where he is now. It seems he's retired to New Mexico (I wonder if he and Imus are neighbors). I retired to Texas long ago (and am WAY older than you!).

I can say this 520 card is one of the crappiest things I have ever put in a computer. Hmmm why don't you tell us what you REALLY think! :lol: Thanks--I hope you just have a bad board but I wouldn't know if my MSI N520GT sucks also or not--I unplugged it awhile back in favor of my trusty 9600GT... :D

I've had nothing but trouble with my 520. It didn't error on this stream but it is an under-powered piece of junk IMHO. As soon as the high-end cards with VP5 arrive, I'm junking it. Since your HO is so well-respected here and elsewhere, I wonder if you can elaborate on your findings re: your 520? ...

Re: Getting weird artifacting at the same place when encodin

FWIW I experienced what was probably a one-frame glitch on one of my BD conversions on viewing recently. An hour & a half movie. I've not made any effort to t-shoot the glitch, except to say here that: 1. Keeping in mind it was (likely) a one-frame glitch out of 24/sec, it looked to me to be blockin...

Well, so much for benchmarking & framerates. Reencoding with x264 there is virtually no improvement with the 520, at least with the VC-1 program I'd done right before swapping-out my 9600 for the 520: With the 9600GT: Wed 10/05/2011 06:01 PM D:\video>"C:\Program Files (x86)\x264\pipebuf.exe" "C:\Pro...

Re: GT 520 VP5 performance

Indexing does not use the GPU! All it does is scan through the source stream and write an index file. There is no *decoding* done at all when indexing. I didn't know that! :oops: The gain in CPU can be substantial in some scenarios, such as when resizing and deinterlacing on the GPU, or when you ha...

Hey guys, given the decoding fps of this 520GT is 3x that of my previous 9600GT, I am so underwhelmed by the real-world Indexing results that I wonder if I might be doing something wrong. I'd just indexed a VC-1 program with my 9600, so after installing the 520GT I did it several times again, using ...

Re: GT 520 VP5 performance

Almost correct. CUVID = decoding is performed on the dedicated video processor (VP). Note that the VP is not the graphics engine. CUDA = decoding is performed on a combination of the CPU and the CUDA processors. I don't know the breakdown of tasks between the two. You can leave everything set for C...

Re: GT 520 VP5 performance

Due to a bug in the VP3+ engines for MPEG2, I have to use CUDA instead of the VP engine for MPEG2. I need to check with Nvidia about the status of that for VP5. If it was fixed, I can revert to the video engine if a VP5 is detected. Got my 520 today, though I've not installed it yet, and am trying ...

I've slipstreamed into 2041 the DGIndexNV manual with the note about delays added.

Re: Set consistent audio filename

The delay arises because demuxing elementary streams may not hit the same PTS values for the audio and video at that point in the stream. There is no guarantee in a stream that access units for audio and video with the same presentation times will be close together. So, for example, if we demux and...
