Support forum for DG Tools

If you re-downloaded to get that last slipstream, please do so again as it had a bug.

Build 2044
------------

* Added MP4 container support.

* Fixed wrong filename being used for LPCM demuxed from program streams.

Build 2045
----------

* Include "demuxed." in the filename of a demuxed file only if the
source stream is an elementary stream (ES).

* Provide options for what the program response should be when an
audio mismatch is seen.

* Show the available template files in the AVS Template drop down
menu and make these clickable to quickly change the active template file.

* Add checks for encrypted audio and offer user the option of how to act
when they are detected.

* Add check on hrd->cpb_cnt_minus1 so that erroneous values do not crash
DGIndexNV.

I slipstreamed two fixes into 2045:

* For AVC video, B pictures that immediately follow an IDR in coding order are decodable and are now properly decoded and displayed. Previously,
they were treated as leading B pictures and were replaced with a copy of the first decodable reference picture, i.e., the IDR.

* An error check was added when opening MKV files to prevent a hard crash when a stream type is not known to DGIndexNV.

Redownload 2045 to get these fixes.

Build 2046
----------

* Added an INI file option 'Bare_Demux' for compatibility of demuxed video files
with some authoring applications.

* Fixed bugs in the multiple AVS template file support: 1) do not list .avsi files in the
template list, 2) fix overrun of the template file list leading to crashes, 3) increase the
maximum number of template files to 20 (from 10).

I have slipstreamed a fix into 2046. Some streams that should have their audio demuxed with 0ms delay were getting demuxed with a delay. Also made a very minor fix to the AVC info dialog layout. Re-download and update DGIndexNV.exe to get these fixes.

I slipstreamed VP6 (Maxwell) support into 2046, so re-download if you need it. All you need is to take the new NV12ToRGB24_sm_50.cubin and put it in your existing installation. Be sure to use the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version.

VP6 doubles the decode frame rate. The GTX 750 Ti has a VP6 and is inexpensive.

Double compared to...? VP5 ?

Yes.

My 9600GT is a VP2 I think and I bought-but-uninstalled the GT250 so your post here caught my attention!

It's not obvious to me what the "Ti" designation means--is this better than the non-Ti version(s) somehow? I used Newegg to compare two cards and the one diff I could find was 512 CUDA cores vs. 640 CUDA cores for the Ti version of it. Izzat it?

Sorry, I don't have any special knowledge about it.

I found it. Apparently the "Ti" designation stands for "Titanium" and is just a marketing differentiator. According to this link, the Ti version of the card has one more SMM (Maxwell "Streaming Multiprocessor") than the non-Ti version.

I see there's another thread here asking about the card--hopefully someone will buy one of them and tell us about performance.

Thanks for the information. I may be purchasing a GTX 750 Ti soon.

Donald in case you've missed it, the EVGA version of this card (750Ti) can be had today from Newegg for $129.40 after $10 rebate! I'm sure you're on their mailing list, if not the code to use is EMCYTZT59227.

Thanks, laserfan!

I have released 2047. Please note that you need to use the old licenses for my other tools until I update them.
Thanks to sef for inspiring this licensing change that eliminates a lot of hassles for users.

Build 2047
----------

* The licensing scheme is changed. The IP information is no longer used, so it is now
no longer necessary to make a separate license key for each networking configuration.
You will need to get your new machine ID and create a new license key using the online
generator.

* The progress report to the console now prints on one line.

* Added an INI file option to disable the encrypted audio warning. Refer to the DGIndexNV
users manual for details.

* Made a fix to kill a bug in transport parsing that could cause frame loss for
some rare streams.

* Fixed a bug in random access for MPEG2 streams that lack GOP headers.

Thank you.

It took me a while to remember how to get a machine ID (help, about), then locate a link to the license key generator, guess at my username , and then edit the license.txt file so "only one license key should be put into the license.txt file".

q:I run it on two machines, can I put two licenses into one license.txt file so the one config runs on both PCs ?

I'll restore the ability to have more than one license in the license.txt file. I'll notify here when I have slip-streamed it.

I have slip-streamed the multiple licenses fix. Please re-download DGIndexNV.exe.

Nice. Thank you.

Hi,
I downloaded (and re-downloaded) DGDECNV 2047 but always get "Invalid License".
I removed the existing license.txt file in order to obtain a new license, but it seems not to work ....

The Help/About ... shows the version 2047, and a number (license) plus the OK button. However when I try to open a video file it displays "Invalid License!"

Did you use the online generator to make a new license with your new machine ID, and then create a new license file? If not, please do so. If yes, please email me a screenshot of the DGIndexNV Help/About dialog box and attach the new license.txt file you made.

The license generator is here:

http://rationalqm.us/licensing.html

Your User ID is in the mail sent to you originally. Your Machine ID is taken from the Help/About dialog. If you lost the original email, please send me an email telling me the email address you used for activation.

Thanks! All ok now. I missed the step with the license generator. I thought it would pop up in the Help/About... dialogue.

Glad it's working for you. And thanks for your contributions to the development over the years!

I have slip-streamed some changes into 2047 that may improve some Windows-related crashes on Win8/8.1. If you experience crashes when opening the Save Project dialog, re-download 2047 and update DGIndexNV.exe. Please let me know if this improves things or not.
