Support forum for DG Tools

plugins should now be able to reliably specify their MT-mode using the SetCacheHints() mechanism (for an example, see the usage of CACHE_GET_MTMODE here)

Does DGNV dll already declare its MT-mode?

No, so avs+ will automatically use mode 3.

DGDecNV currently fails to decode x264 lossless AVC format profile "High 4:4:4 Predictive Level 3".
Would it be possible to support this format in future?

I could be wrong, but IIRC nVidia doesn't support it, because no user-facing content is ever lossless, so it's not something DG can fix without nVidia's help.

Well, if so it's a pity. I wanted to capture video tapes to x264 lossless for later offline conversion to lossy and filtered AVC. DGdecNV would have been convenient for quick inspection/analysis of the captured files.
Anyway, I can view these files with MPC-HC / LAV instead, or capture to quasi-transparent (say CRF=10) lossy format with a very fast x264 settings and use DGDecNV on these.

Aleron is right, AFAIK. Lossless is not supported by CUVID.

LAV doesn't use CUVID for lossless, yes?

LAV doesn't use CUVID, as far as I understand.

MKV subtitle development continues here:

viewtopic.php?f=8&t=623

Think I responded to you in the MKV demux thread just as you locked it

No problem. Just make initial suggestions here and then I will split if it leads to development. Happy Sunday night.

The thread is open now at the link I gave, so it's unlocked and visible, with the archived material restored. Information escaped from a black hole. What are we to make of that?

Quantum Mechanics at work?
My feature request, when you finish the present project AND if its not to much effort, would be the ability to select which streams to carry over on a "Output Trimmed TS" project since m2ts loses all language identifiers
A good night to you as well

[admin note -- following gonca post was moved here after a thread split]

When using "Output Trimmed TS" it might be useful to be able to select which tracks to use
The mpls has language indication but m2ts does not, so it would be useful, to me at least, to be able to select which audio and subtitle tracks to carry

You want a transport stream editor. OK, maybe. But not in DGDecNV.

I was thinking in DGIndexNV when creating a trimmed TS
Thanks for considering it

The TS trim support is literally just a DGSplit that forces to cut on 0x47 transport syncs starting at the beginning of the project range. It would be a big project to make a stream editor. I could display or dump info from the MPLS that might give you the information you need. Maybe if you described your work flow I could be more helpful.

I open the mpls for the main movie in DGIndexNV
Set the project range and Output Trimmed TS (m2ts extension)
I only need the main English audio track and English subtitles, but since m2ts has no language identifiers I write which are which
The idea is that if the trimmed TS would have only these tracks then it would simplify things downstream
If it is a lot of effort don't worry about it because it only means I have to write down a few track numbers

I'm afraid It requires to know the specs of mpls, and maybe only those who have acces to Blu-Ray specs may have it...

Personnaly to have these informations i run eac3to in the full Blu-Ray root directory (after rip, of course... ).

I have the blu-ray specs.

That is what I do now to get the information, run eac3to and then note the info

I'll see if I can output that information for you, so at least you won't have to use EAC3TO to get it. Would a listing of the language by PID be what you need? What does EAC3TO tell you?

Language by PID would work.
That is the reason I use eac3to on the disc, to see which audio/subtitle tracks are in English
eac3to basically outputs something like
track 1 chapters
track 2 video
track 3 audio-language etc
track 9 subtitle-language etc

By PID would be better since that is consistent, order tracks are shown in can vary by app, mkvmerge puts chapters last so video is now track 1

How do you relate tracks to PIDs? There is no concept of "track" in an m2ts that I am aware of.

I ran EAC3TO on a blu-ray rip of "The Island" and did not see any PIDs. What command are you using? As you can see I am still confused about the details of your work flow, what info you get from EAC3TO and how you use it.

I don't know if this will answer your question :
Personnaly, i just run "eac3to > file.txt". But you have to run it on the root of the Blu-Ray.
Then, in the text file, you'll see langage informations. It probably take them from the mpls file.

Sure, but here is what I get below. Can't see any PIDs. What are the numbers 1), 2), and 3) and how can you use them? There are no track numbers. All the information below is already reported by DGIndexNV (except for the chapter count).

C:\Standalone Apps\EAC3TO>eac3to H:\THE_ISLAND_AC
1) 00800.mpls, 00800.m2ts, 2:16:04
- Chapters, 20 chapters
- h264/AVC, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
- DTS Master Audio, English, multi-channel, 48kHz
- AC3, French, multi-channel, 48kHz
- AC3, Spanish, multi-channel, 48kHz
- AC3, English, stereo, 48kHz

2) 00250.mpls, 00250.m2ts+01012.m2ts+01017.m2ts, 0:15:42
- MPEG2, 480i60 /1.001 (4:3)
- AC3, English, stereo, 48kHz

3) 00253.mpls, 00250.m2ts, 0:15:32
- MPEG2, 480i60 /1.001 (4:3)
- AC3, English, stereo, 48kHz

For what i know :
I don't think the 1) 2)... are relevant to anything, it's just an enumeration, and i don't think you can use them.
I don't think eac3to output directly raw PID values (and i don't think it can), it translate them into the information displayed.

For the workflow, i let the others describe what they expect/want, i'm just posting here to provide any information i have to try to help if i can.

Beat me if i'm wrong... But DGIndex works from m2ts, not mpls...?
In that case, i don't think there is the chapters or the langage information, because these are provided by the mpls (beat me again if i'm wrong).
And... maybe these are the informations the others want...?
