(Also, and a bit off point, is there a way to turn off that gnat smilie crawling around on my screen to the right of this edit window? It's very distracting while I'm trying to type. I'm not sure why anyone would want it.) Thou shalt not spurn the bug emoticon. As atonement for thy disrespect, the ...

To my knowledge, you have three options: Make your video VFR, which will perfectly preserve the animation of all segments at the expense of making your video unplayable on pretty much everything except your PC. Pick the framerate represented by the majority of the video's content and allow the minor...

That was sort of my point: can VirtualDub export a .264 file from an AVI? I was under the impression that vanilla VirtualDub does not support H.264 at all and would puke if you tried to load a video encoded with H.264. AVI isn't supposed to contain H.264 in the first place, so Avery could make a rea...

I'm pretty sure that H.264 in AVI is nonstandard and technically "wrong" to have, as AVI itself doesn't support things like having several consecutive B-frames that are perfectly normal for H.264. As such, standard AVI tools may not be able to handle the stream. AVI isn't even supposed to have VBR a...

Such a stream would be non-standard though, right? It's my understanding that H.264 requires mod16 dimensions and allows you to specify cropping values to achieve your desired AR, but actually encoding to a non-mod16 resolution would produce a technically invalid stream.

I have to stay on 326.80 to avoid the OpenCL bug nVidia added in the 330 series of drivers, so I doubt I have whatever UHD support they added. Hopefully the GeForce 1000 series cards will give me enough of a reason to ugrade to a newer chipset that doesn't have the bug.

Does this mean there is a minimum nVidia driver requirement to use 2049, or is it only if you want to decode a UHD source?

I'm trying to figure out why you want IFO parsing when there are already other ways to split the VOBs by chapter before you get to using Don's tools. What benefit do you gain by using DGMPGDec to split VOBs by chapter instead of splitting the VOBs when you rip?

Mount the DVD ISO in a virtual drive, then use DVD Decrypter to rip the "disc" in IFO mode?

I rip the disc with DVD Decrypter's IFO mode, which seems to work pretty well (after I've determined which title is which).

To my knowledge, VP9 cards should support HEVC UHD fully, but nVidia hasn't released any such cards yet. The GTX 960 is their newest offering and is still limited to the HEVC Main/Main 10 profiles. The new UHD Blu-ray standard isn't even in use yet, so all things UHD are pretty much still up in the ...

There are 800-series cards for desktops? I thought nVidia skipped the 800 series to go straight to the 900 series, leaving the 800 series as mobile only.

Besides, then you'd have to change the name to DGCodecNV, and that's just silly.

I don't think you'll find anyone who has done such a comparison, because it's assumed that the result will be perceptually identical. The whole point of having compression standards is that anyone who follows the reference specification can encode compatible streams that will be decompressed the sam...

It's a long shot, but have you tried downgrading your video driver? It's become rather common for nVidia to introduce new bugs in their drivers and then not fix them. Your GTX 850M uses the same GM107 Maxwell architecture as the GTX 750/Ti, and I've read reports that Maxwell drivers have been a bit ...

I've experienced similar problems, although I wouldn't necessarily fault DGDecNV for them. When your recording has signal errors, things get complicated, as it isn't possible to reconstruct every audio frame and video frame when the stream is corrupt. As Don said, a video player can use the timestam...

I never use notepad but I seem to recall that it saves to UTF-8 by default. Notepad will save to ISO 8859-1 by default, unless you include characters unsupported by that codepage. If you do, you'll get an error saying that you must either a) go back and select a different encoding that supports the...

It's a real shame that AviSynth is stuck in limbo, as it really seems like there should be an x86-64 version with native mulithreading support by now, so developers could update old plugins and write new ones to take full advantage of modern CPUs, but we're still stuck with getting such features in ...

Shift JIS is one of the older character sets used for Japanese. It predates Unicode and is still very common in Japan and in programs made by Japanese developers.

I would think that VFR is something you only need to control in the output, not the input. MKVToolNix, for instance, allows you to specify a timecode file to turn a video into VFR, but I don't think there's a way for DG's tools or AviSynth itself to support VFR directly. It's something you have to a...

The BDMV standard has many arbitrary and sub-optimal limitations. If your player supports videos in other containers, even if they don't conform to the video stream limitations enforced by BDMV, then you might as well target another container. My LG Blu-ray player, for instance, allows H.264 in MKV ...

Unfortunately it will have to stay at 24.975. There are two audio tracks, the main one being Dolby TrueHD 5.1. I have no means to deal with the audio. I wouldn't say that, since IIRC ffmpeg can decode TrueHD tracks. You'll get a WAV file which you can then speed up with your audio tool of choice, a...

I have uploaded the revised 2048 with support for sm_11 and beyond. It should support the cards you mentioned. I don't think there are any sm_10 cards that matter. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. :P I used this nVidia documentation for developers page: http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/index.html Cli...

Wouldn't you also want guide=3 on Telecide to enable PAL -> NTSC pattern guidance? I doubt blind matching would do a noticeably worse job, but since you went to the trouble of implementing that functionality, I'd say we ought to take advantage of it...

Note that CUDA architecture sm_10 support was dropped by nVidia. That means really old slow cards are no longer supported. You might want to update the requirements listed on the DGDecNV page, then. This change means that GeForce 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300 series cards (Tesla) are no longer supported....
