Support forum for DG Tools

I am starting to deal with 4K material.

A friend of mine borrowed me his BD of Red sparrow, which is in 4k HDR format.

I have tried to feed the m2ts and mpls to DGIndexNV and it prompts with:

GPU decoder: Failed to create video decoder [801]. Exiting...

I have a 1060 card and, in theory, it should decode HEVC natively.

A small extract from mediainfo output:

Any idea?

I have done a few 4K movies and never had that issue.
Try this
use MakeMKV to rip entire folder to HDD from original disc
Note any errors.
If no errors are present try DGIndexNV again, you might want to use the mpls file

Mpls gives same error.

Did you try to redo it with MakeMKV yet?

Yes, I wasn't importing m2ts or mpls directly from BD from the beginning.

I tried to rip to mkv too. Same error.

801 means "operation not supported on the current device". I don't know anything about the 1060 or whether it should support HW decoding of HEVC UHD HDR. I'll see what I can find about that. Meanwhile, does it fail on all such disks or just this one? Does it open other HEVC streams?

I hope you don't have Win 7:

Didn't even occur to me, Win 8 minimum for hevc
Win 10 to be sure
Upgrade time

I thought manolito was the only one on old software and hardware platforms

Guest 2 hasn't confirmed Win 7 yet.

Guest 2 is keeping us in suspense.

According to https://developer.nvidia.com/video-enco ... ort-matrix matrix, 1060 supports 4k.

I have tested hw decoding with LAV Filters and no problems at all, both with 4k HDR and 1080p HEVC.

No problems with 1080p. For 4K, I will ask my friend another BD to have a try.

Girlfriends need time.

Alita: Battle Angel same problem.

Works on LAV Filter not on DGIndexNV.

Can you upload the first M2TS of one of them to my FTP? Thanks.

Are you running standard or DCH drivers?

Please tell your card manufacturer, model no, amount of memory, etc.

Please give nVidia driver version.

Are you powering the card properly and your power supply is adequate?

I did the 1st GB for both. M2TS is 60 GB each. If you need, anyway, I will.

Yes. Corsair AX800i is more than enough.

Thank you. Investigating...

If it helps I can get one of those movies and see if I have any issues

What is your video card?

gtx 1080 ti
but drivers, etc could be compared
And in terms of H265 4:2:0 they have the same capabilities.

Get the file from my FTP and test that.

Did both movies and no issues
Here are the dgi files Driver 430.64
dgdecnv slipstream 178 (haven't had a chance to update to latest yet)
EVGA card

Thank you for your results.

I "downgraded" from Microsoft Insider provided Nvidia drivers (435.27) to latest hotfix from Nvidia (431.68) and DGIndexNV works with 4k HDR

At this point I don't know if it's a problem of future Nvidia driver architecture or what.

The strange thing is that cuvid works ok with both drivers in LAV Filters HW decoding.

@admin feel free to investigate more or not. Perhaps problem will come back when 435.* will become widely available.

P.S: As far as I understood, DGIndexNV saves HDR information into DGI file. How am I supposed to manage it to encode with x265 and get encoded 4K with same HDR metadata? Any AviSynth template or x265 command line are welcome.

I'll put the issue on hold and revisit it if and when issues arise with official drivers. I'm wondering if it is finally time to move to a later CUDA toolkit (contains the CUVID headers). Perhaps that explains the discrepancy between LAV and DG here. The problem is that if we upgrade we'll lose support for a boatload of earlier not-so-old cards.

The other forum is more suitable for your encoding questions.

Thanks for your patience and tireless support.
