Support forum for DG Tools

In one of your post, there is this video : Philips_Ultra-HD_Beach_Life_supershop-demo-3
Is it possible to have a link where i can download this ? I would like to test/check on my system that everything works fine, and i don't have h265 HDR 10 (or 12) bits video.

Is this the one?

Sorry guys, I am away for a few days. I'll catch up when I return.

Admin are you back ?
I'm not able to download the file from gonca link. Is there any link i can download from the file you're using ?

Odd, the link works fine for me

Link works fine for me too. What problem are you having, jp?

I was realy having a hard time to figure out how to download it, until i notice the big blue "download" button on the bottom right...

Happens to the best of us, glad its working for you

I also didn't see the link straightaway (you have to scroll down).

Me three
Like I said, it happens to the best of us

Three blind mice!

Another thing not helping, it's that the button was withint the facebook and twitter advertisings.
Most of the time, on pages of hosted files, all the big download buttons like this in the middle of advertisings download a lot of things/crap, but never the file you're looking for...
Most of the time you have to look for a little text like this "File is here" lost in all the big download crap advertisings.
So, my brain automaticaly masked/rejected this big button...
Until after a search and not found, my brain decided to make me noticed it, and i realised putting the mouse over it (without clicking !) that the link was indeed the file !
By default, on this kind of pages, i never trust big "download" buttons.

I did a test download and played it, it seems clean

It's not so much a matter of trusting the downloaded file as it is of trusting that the download button will actually deliver that file rather than some unwanted application. As jp pointed out, very often we see big prominent download buttons that deliver unasked-for things while a small hard-to-find button or link gives the file you are really after. OK, it's a business model that allows us to have free downloads. We just have to be careful.

Yeah, I get that, but on my browser if I pause the cursor on the link it will display the url of the "download".
This helps with the I click or not decision
Same as the email client and links
But I do understand, the internet isn't so friendly anymore, and one has to take care with which websites they visit or links they click.

Thanks for the link, Luis!

Good news, girls and boys!

I just updated to Nvidia driver version 387.92 and, lo-and-behold, the HEVC 10-bit decoding glitch issue appears to have been fixed. All of my test streams that showed the issue now run clean.

Thank you, nVidia.

@mparade

Your further testing would be helpful and appreciated. Chow!

Just did a quick test and it appears OK.

OT
My next system will require 2 video cards, I just did an encode with DGDecodeNV frame serving a 10 bit 4K HEVC video and NVEnc encoding on one video card and It did it at 2X playback speed (50 fps)
I might get 100 fps with two cards to split the work

Thank you for your confirmation, Luis. It feels really good to now have a fully functioning GPU-accelerated solution for UHD. Maybe I'll re-install Vapoursynth and try to figure out why it won't accept P016 from Avisynth+.

Regarding your dual GPU idea, how do you intend to pull that off? It seems to me you would have to break the stream into two and process them with multiple instantiations. Of course DGDecNV can't currently support any kind of transparent multiple-GPU parallelism. Maybe it should.

Well sir...
It would be reasonably easy
Your source filter ( and filters ) allow me to assign a video card to use ( int device or default first found)
NVEnc allows the same
DGSourceNV on first card... NVEnc on second card
Frame serving and preprocessing card 1/2
Encoding card 2/1

I will wait to see if the 20xx cards will have B frames to help with compressibility
Also want to see if AMDs Threadripper comes up with a 24 core CPU
Oy Vey, this is going to get expensive.... but you only live once and its only money, gotta have some fun along the way, and this is one of the ways.

Ah, so simple.

I think to maximize things you need a mobo with two PCIEx16 slots and lots of PCI lanes.

Ditto that!

Simple minds, simple solutions.

An AMD Ryzen or Threadripper compatible mobo will carry enough PCIEx16 slots and the CPU will support the required lanes

Intel might require an extreme edition CPU with the extra cost

Either way, the key is the NVidia cards and the VPU chip in them

i7-8700K + X370 mobo is begging to be my next beast, although it might be worth giving AMD a look, or skipping a generation.

Core i7-8700K: 6C/12T @ 3.7GHz base/4.7GHz boost, 95W TDP.

i7 8700k might only have 16 pcie lanes
check the specs here

Threadripper supports 64 pcie lanes

The link I gave asserts 40 lanes. Still, I suppose, 64 is better.
